This book is dedicated to filling the gap by examining the complex reality behind the Islamists' rejection of democracy. It focuses its analysis on two two streams of Islamism : the two Islamist groups that seek "extra-parliamentary" means to achieve their goals, that is MMI and HTI and the PKS Islamists who choose the existing political party system as a means of their power struggle.
