No God But God: Egypt and the Triumph of Islam Paperback - 2002

by Geneive Abdo

Chronicling modern Egypt's "Popular Islamic" influence, Abdo's findings identify a grassroots movement that doesn't seek the violent overthrow of the government or a return to a medieval age. Instead, this growing number believes its religious values are compatible with the demands of the modern world.


From the publisher

Western media has consistently focused on the extremes of Islam, overlooking a quiet yet pervasive moderate religious movement that is currently transforming the nation of Egypt. Drawing on hundreds of interviews, No God But God 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. Both 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.

First line

The scene from my balcony, in one of Cairo's wealthiest districts, offered a view the world had somehow failed to notice.
