Book summary

Abdo, through interviews with street preachers, scholars, and various leaders, has conducted a sociological study of Islam in Egypt. It exposes the peaceful movements within Islam that are working--successfully--to integrate religious values and the modern world. The result is a portrait of an Egyptian identity that challenges Western stereotypes of religious extremism.
