Tiivistelmä: | Ernest Gellner's well-known model aspires to a general interpretation of all Muslim societies, past and present. They are said to have invarying features , susceptible to analysis in terms of a common sociology, one of a dialectic between city and tribe, each with its own peculiar form of religion, and the dominance within the urban form of ulama leading a solidary community based on scripture and Divine Law. Within this configuration, political rule is always vulnerable to the double threat of the tribes at the gate and the ulama-led urban society which never fully recognizes the legitimacy of government. |
