| Summary: | Maulana Mawdudi founded Jamaat-i Islami in 1941 to give an organized form to his idea that Muslims needed an Islamic state in order to carry out the requirements of their religion fully. The influx of Muslim migrants from the sub-continent throughout the 1960s enabled organizations that were closely allied to Jamaat-i Islami to be established in Britain. The following article was written as a result of research undertaken amongst Jamaat-i Islami sympathizers in both the sub-continent and Britain. The intention was to monitor the process of change as the organization moved from one cultural milieu to another. In particular I wanted to investigate the idea put forward by many British sympathizers that the kind of Islam they practised was free of any cultural accretion' and therefore uniquely adaptable to the situation of Muslims born and educated in Britain. |
