Description:
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia: SIRD, 2009. Paperback. Very Good. This book arose from several decades of the author's research amongst Muslim communities in the Malay archipelago. Although Islam is the predominant religion in the archipelago, he and other considered the political elements of the religion to be moderate. However when he discovered that the 9/11 attacks were given prior approval at a meeting of clandestine Islamic groups in Malaysia, he decided to take a closer look at the complex relationship between the religion and the state in the region. 444 pages with a bibliography and an index. Weight: 0.9kg. Post free within Malaysia There is some spotting on the text block
