Once seduced by the lure of fundamentalism, but having rejected it once he studied Islamic law, Khaled M. Abou El Fadl has become increasingly active and outspoken in support of rescuing the Islamic faith from radicals since the horrifying events of September 11th, making him uniquely qualified to write this impassioned, informed, and thoughtful book. Presenting the beliefs and practices of moderate Muslims, The Great Theft—now in paperback— identifies the points of difference and disagreement with the fundamentalist-puritan practice of Islam.
