More about the book
The book presents a compelling argument for an Islamic reformation centered in Western Europe, emphasizing the coexistence of Islam with Christianity, Judaism, and secular humanism. Rather than promoting a "moderate" version of Islam, which he critiques as a veiled form of Wahabism, the author advocates for an approach influenced by Sufi thinkers. This perspective focuses on a practice of religion that transcends strict doctrinal boundaries, suggesting a more inclusive and adaptable interpretation of Islam.
