Local Imagination and Global Images of Islam What is the impact of glocalization on the meaning of Islam and the identity of Muslims?
52 Such global images are essentially a construction of Islamic and Muslim identity that reflect the politics of its non-Muslim constructors.
" Political differences leading to conflicting interpretations of Islamic principles created new identities, such as the Kharijites and the 'Alids, The advent of the nation-state in the modern era added a newer dimension-nationalism-to difference in the Muslim world.
I believe that the discourse on Islam's incompatibility with democracy serves certain local interests rather than any global drive toward universal democratization and cementing of international civil society.
This outside-in construction of Islam and Muslim identity is a process of "glocal politics"-where local interests act globally and global narratives actually relate local tales.
Conclusion I have argued that local interests are globally reconstructing the meaning of Islam and, in so doing, are reshaping Muslim identity.
