Reviews
Citizen Islam constitutes a timely appeal, and warning, to the West: stop legitimizing non-violent extremists. For the patient, incremental and systematic approach utilized by the Muslim Brotherhood and other non-violent extremists-to create a so-called "fully-Islamic" personality, family, community and state-poses an even greater threat to the core values of modern society, than do their impatient terrorist brethren, armed with guns and bombs." - C. Holland Taylor, Chairman & CEO, LibForAll Foundation and co-author of The Illusion of an Islamic State, with former Indonesian president Kyai Haji Abdurrahman Wahid, et al.
"A brilliant, principled, brave book. "- R. James Woolsey, Chair of FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) and former Director of Central Intelligence.
"This book is very informative and helps both Muslims and non Muslims understand the ideologies, historical trends and current events in Muslim communities. It is an especially valuable resource for western countries because it aptly explains how some Muslim societies are evolving and resolving issues of religion and state. It is also important for Muslims to see how they are being perceived by others. I recommend it highly for those who need to better understand the many facets of Islamic doctrine and beliefs. " - Shaykh Hisham M Kabbani, Chairman of the Islamic Supreme Council of America
"Zeyno Baran's new book is fascinating reading for anyone wishing to understand the challenge of fundamentalist Islam, and vital reading for those tasked to deal with it." -Douglas Murray, Director, The Centre for Social Cohesion, UK.
