Not written in the typical MMK 'gonzo style' with tons of personal history- his book is more like a Made for the General Public watered down thesis. Much more impersonal and journalistic, although there is a surprisingly touching description of a powerful dream of his in the Dreams chapter.
MMK argues against the notion of a 'pure' Islam (uninfluenced by history, culture, other religions) and uses the framework of magic to show the porousness of our definitions of magic, science, and religion.
Highly recommended reading for Muslim Book Clubs.… (plus d'informations)
