Unscholarly Wahhabi Apologetic This book is not a scholarly or holistic study on Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab. I got this book hoping to learn more about his own story but the views expressed in this book are Wahhabi Apologetics at best. There is SOME good information, but it is the lies of omission that are most startling to me. Reading this alongside the actual works of Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab illustrates tremendous omissions to make Delong Bas's points (a tactic she borrowed from ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab?). The author leaves out relevant primary sources in favor of pro-Wahhabi documents. She describes the im. Academic blasphemy Pure, paid apologetics from the Saudi government (read Delong-Bas's list of financial sponsors). There are MANY problems with her so-called "research" that have already been outlined byreviewer Zubair Qamar. He so generously left the door open for you to email him further criticisms of her book.How ever nice and benign she tries to make Abd Al-Wahhab, he is a rigid, tolerant cold-blooded killer. One of my personal favourites of hers , is Abd Al-Wahhab never called for "jihad" against the unbelievers only "qital" (fighting). And not to kill them but to "help" them give up their . Rewrite of History Seeker101 This book is nothing more than an attempt to rewrite history that flies in the face of historical fact.
Contemporary extremists like Osama bin Laden do not have their origins in Wahhabism. Before 9/11, few Westerners had heard of Wahhabism. But, as the author demonstrates, his ideas were distorted by his followers into the movement that still carries his name today. But what were the origins of the movement often touted as the intellectual and spiritual inspiration for Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda? In the first study ever undertaken of the writings of Wahhabism's founder, Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1702-1791), Natana DeLong-Bas shatters the stereotypes and misconceptions. Using original research, Wahhabi Islam presents the potentially controversial argument that the modern notion of Wahhabism (as ascetic, puritanical and narrow-minded) distorts M I A Wahhab's teachings, which were far more modernist, tolerant and broadminded. This groundbreaking book fills an enormous gap in the literature on the Middle East by returning to the original writing of Wahhabism's founder.
