| Summary: | How do purist Salafist communities frame the issue of politics? Unlike Islamists and Jihadists who are known to display a reluctance towards political engagement, purist Salafists—especially those who live within a non-Muslim-majority country such as France—highlight that Islam has little to do with classical political activism. Consequently, a major issue that needs to be examined is how purist Salafists reconcile their desires to shape the society, through a process of public involvement that stops short of institutional engagement. The key question that is addressed in this piece is: to what extent is the notion of militant apoliticism relevant to describe this specific methods of public engagement? |
