If the Arab Spring was not originally motivated by the will to create an Islamic State, then by what? Why Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwanul Muslimin) failed? What does the call for an Islamic State entail? Is the Salafi paradigm more than a nostalgic illusion? What has become of the traditional schools of law? Are there alternatives that make better use of the established modes of “living Islam” and are more compatible with the modern nation state? These are some of the questions will be discussed in the lecture.
