Rock the Casbah : rage and rebellion across the Islamic world Cover Image Book

Rock the Casbah : rage and rebellion across the Islamic world / by Robin Wright.

Wright, Robin B., 1948- (Author).

Summary:

Written by a veteran reporter, this is an up close portrait of the fierce struggle between moderates and extremists taking place within the Islamic world today. Why don't Muslims challenge the violent extremists among them? Well, they do. Here she cites the clerics, comedians, and rappers who challenge al Qaeda violence; the women who are launching liberation movements; and the former jihadists who openly reject violence. These Muslims all want to build a better Islam, on their own, not Western, terms.
