After the collapse of the communist system, Islam is an alternative cultural and civilizational choice for modern man. Those who were disappointed by the Eastern system of thought and the Western liberalism, seek for happiness in Islam. Now, the increasing conversion to Islam is seen as a danger by the West. In addition, even some Western people are trying to replace Communism by Islam as the enemy of the West. All these make Islamists to pay serious attention to Islam, Islamic thought, and Islamic movements, and to provide the modern man who is thirsty for Islamic teachings with appropriate solutions.
In chapter two of his book, Zakki Milad studies the development of the comtemporary Islamic thought carefully, dealing with its charactristics, necessities, and chalanges.
