Reviews for Hizmet Means Service: Perspectives on an Alternative Path within Islam
Given the current uncertainty in the Middle East, the book provides much needed perspectives on the relatively unknown, peaceable but not quietist, radical but not radicalized, and ecumenically-minded renewal movement among Muslims that nuances both the Orientalist and terrorist narratives so common in the Western media... [illuminates] an important new reli- gious movement in Turkish society.
