What is "new Islamic populism" ?
Thinking that populism is populism what can be new about it, in previous readings I had largely ignored term "new Islamic populism", but a search on google scholar seem to bring many results for the term. I checked couple of them like 1, 2

I wish to update my understanding of academic perspectives on given term better so


 * 1) What is "new Islamic populism" in academic perspectives?


 * 2) Which Wikipedia article (sections) cover the academic conceptualization of the term better?

Did Brandenburg overturn Scales?
In Scales v. United States, Junius Scales failed to overturn his conviction for membership in the CPUSA, with our article saying that SCOTUS found that the Smith Act membership clause was constitutional because it required prosecutors to prove that there was direct advocacy of violence. But later in the same decade, the Court found in Brandenburg v. Ohio that such advocacy was punishable only if it was both intended and reasonably likely to result in imminent lawless action.

Neither of our Scales or Brandenburg articles mentions the other case, which seems a bit odd to me. It seems to me that Scales would surely have gone the other way if Brandenburg had been decided first, but maybe that isn't technically "overturning" the first decision, the way lawyers see it? --Trovatore (talk) 23:02, 13 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Justice William O. Douglas does mention Scales in his concurrence, but primarily to criticize the "Clear and Present Danger" test that imminent lawless action replaced. PianoDan (talk) 22:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
