Exploring the intersection of modernity and radical Islam, this essay analyzes Hamas's response to social and political transformations in the Middle East. It investigates the tensions between the movement's strict adherence to Islamic tradition and the diverse manifestations of modernity. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is framed as a struggle against modernity, with Hamas positioning itself as both an adaptive force and a radical entity that seeks to monopolize the interpretation of Islamic teachings. This duality underscores the complexities of Hamas's identity in contemporary society.
