The Great Theft

ebook
"Those looking for an understanding of the Muslim world and its relationship to the West . . . will find this book invaluable" (Dallas Morning News).
The Great Theft is an impassioned defense of Islam against the encroaching power of extremists. Khaled Abou El Fadl, one of the world's preeminent Islamic scholars and an accomplished Islamic jurist, roots his arguments in long-standing historical legal debates, delineating point by point beliefs and practices of moderate Muslims and distinguishing these texts from the corrupting influences of extremists. From the role of women in Islam to the nature of jihad, and from democracy and human rights to terrorism and warfare, Abou El Fadl builds a vital vision for a moderate Islam. At long last, all who oppose extremism have a desperately needed voice to help reclaim Islam's great moral tradition.
