Rezensionen

"What Gauvain provides is an engaging and intimate description of Cairene Salafi lives and their attendance to ritual purity, and it is a very welcome contribution to an area overcrowded by one-dimensional studies of Salafi jihad. It will appeal to a wide and diverse readership of students and experts. It is not overly technical and could be used for teaching senior undergraduates or graduate students."
