{"product_id":"no-god-but-god-geneive-abdo-9780195157932","title":"No God But God: Egypt and the Triumph of Islam","description":"Western media has consistently focused on the extremes of Islam, overlooking a quiet yet pervasive moderate religious movement that is currently transforming the nation of Egypt. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, \u003cem\u003eNo God But God\u003c\/em\u003e opens up previously inaccessible segments of Egyptian society to illustrate the deep penetration of \"Popular Islamic\" influence. Geneive Abdo provides a firsthand account of this movement, allowing its leaders, street preachers, scholars, doctors, lawyers, men and women of all social classes to speak for themselves. Challenging Western stereotypes, she finds that this growing number of Islamists do not seek the violent overthrow of the government or a return to a medieval age. Instead, they believe their religious values are compatible with the demands of the modern world. They are working within and beyond the secular framework of the nation to gradually create a new society based on Islamic principles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoth fascinating and unsettling, Abdo's findings identify a grassroots model for transforming a secular nation-state to an Islamic social order that will likely inspire other Muslim nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geneive Abdo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195157931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195157932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/24\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 5.86w x 0.59d","brand":"Geneive Abdo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119411982591,"sku":"9780195157932","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21865283-b9ef-4504-8211-02d659e189a2.jpg?v=1687409199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-god-but-god-geneive-abdo-9780195157932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
