Hard to rate this book because clearly there is more work in here than I can comprehend. I just thought it was a little disjointed, though that could be more a fault of the reader than author.
Very good, very informative. Unbelievable Murad tackles so much, with such brevity. "Like many Islamists, [Foucault] was a lapsed Marxist, concerned with making a statement, with angering the middle-class West... " As a Jewish person, I thought Foucault sucked too. 'The enemy of my enemy, is my friend.' Although I do despise certain sects of Islam, I can see my erroneous thinking in that the dominant narrative I see in the west, is one sent by populism, not by a want to soothe conflict. Though most concern themselves with battles of rich versus poor, I too see the villains of the bourgeois. Those with an multi-vectored excess of surplus. Those who are always hungry, never satiated with their food. The once wolves, now extremists lap-dogs of schizo-capitalism. Whether the bomb is fueled by oil money or blood money, it kills the same innocence regardless.
