On December 7, 2012, Ermin Sinanovic (assistant professor, Department of
Political Science, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD) presented

Spring has accelerated this reawakening among the Sunnis, which began in
the 1970s, thereby showing that Islamic political thought was no longer
static. But because this uprising is still so recent and ongoing, scholars are
still trying to make sense of it and thus all conclusions up to this point remain
