Although apocalyptic visions and predictions have long been part of classical and contemporary Islam, this book is the first scholarly work to cover this disparate but influential body of writing. David Cook puts the literature in context by examining not only the ideological concerns prompting apocalyptic material but its interconnection with the PalestinianIsraeli conflict, Arab relations with the United States and other Western nations, and the role of violence in the Middle East. Cook suggests that Islam began as an apocalyptic movement and has retained a strong apocalyptic and messianic trend. One of his most striking discoveries is the influence of nonIslamic sources on contemporary Muslim apocalyptic beliefs. He trenchantly discusses the influence of nonIslamic sources on contemporary Muslim apocalyptic writing, tracing antiSemitic strains in Islamist thought in part to Western texts and traditions. Through a meticulous reading of current documents, incorporating everything from exegesis of holy texts to supernatural phenomena, Cook shows how radical Muslims, including members of alQa'ida, may have applied these ideas to their own agendas. By exposing the undergrowth of popular beliefs contributing to religiondriven terrorism, this book casts new light on today's political conflicts.
