| Summary: | The article relates the current awakening of Islam to three main reasons: 1. the failure of contemporary ideologies of modernization; 2. the cultural confrontation superiority-inferiority complexes; 3. the discovery of indigenous powers. It speculates that as Islam in the past had found its way between the two falling Persian and Roman empires, so in the present Islam finds itself again as a new power marking its way between the two super-powers in crisis. Islam is regenerating, the two superpowers are degenerating. (DÜI-Asd) |
