Drawing on hundreds of interviews, \u003cem\u003eNo God But God\u003c\/em\u003e opens up previously inaccessible segments of Egyptian society to illustrate the deep penetration of \"Popular Islamic\" influence. Geneive Abdo provides a firsthand account of this movement, allowing its leaders, street preachers, scholars, doctors, lawyers, men and women of all social classes to speak for themselves. Challenging Western stereotypes, she finds that this growing number of Islamists do not seek the violent overthrow of the government or a return to a medieval age. Instead, they believe their religious values are compatible with the demands of the modern world. They are working within and beyond the secular framework of the nation to gradually create a new society based on Islamic principles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBoth fascinating and unsettling, Abdo's findings identify a grassroots model for transforming a secular nation-state to an Islamic social order that will likely inspire other Muslim nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneive Abdo\u003c\/strong\u003e, the former correspondent in Tehran for the \u003cem\u003eGuardian\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/em\u003e, was a Nieman fellow at Harvard University and a John Simon Guggenheim fellow in 2001-2002.
