That's a great survey. Just a couple of thoughts, off the top of my head:
1. Among the organizations that worked to homogenize Islam as practiced, I think the Tablighi Jamat is key, especially in South Asia.
2. I wonder if colonialism plays a role in determining whether exposure to modern media and technology increases liberalism or results in a backlash to it. Is the backlash worse in places that were colonized by a European nation? Does the duration of colonization matter?
Hello, I wonder did you read E . Todd his book about the origin of family system ? As a french demograph and anthropologist he's interested in this issues since 1984 ! The determination of political system by familial system tourough europe and then eurasia ...
Nevertheless it's an interesting and clear synthesis of modern days changes . I went to Indonesia ten years ago and i was marked by the proliferation of mosque on christian islands like Flores and the diffusion of islam by riches and hifi speacker for the call to the prayer even if less than one third of the city was muslim . It was brand new modern Mosques contrasting with the relative poverty of the surroundings .
