Klappentext zu „Citizen Islam “
Since September 11, Western governments have legitimized and empowered "nonviolent Islamists" as representatives of Islam for all Muslims in the West, an approach that has worried Muslim moderates. Citizen Islam addresses the implications of this approach. The book opens with an overview of the theology and history of Islam, to show that violence and intolerance are not fundamental aspects of the religion. It then explains the growth of Islamism in Europe and in the United States before suggesting that both are finally beginning to recognize the threat posed by nonviolent Islamists. Lastly, it outlines steps that Western and Muslims leaders can take to strengthen moderate Islam and counter the threat of Islamism.
Written by Zeyno Baran, a Turkish-born Muslim, Citizen Islam sheds a sharp light on Muslim communities in the West. It concludes that there is much that Western governments can still do to reverse the spread of Islamism. But they must act quickly.

Rezension zu „Citizen Islam “
"A brilliant, principled, brave book. If you - Muslim or of any other faith - are truly loyal to our Constitution and its guarantees of liberty and democracy, then welcome, friend. We have a big fight on our hands. Baran, a practicing Muslim, introduces us to freedom's principal enemy in that fight: determined Islamists -i e Wahhabis/Salafis/Muslim Brotherhood members - who are hijacking a noble religion and simultaneously, in their words, "sabotaging [the West's] miserable house from within..." via a "civilization jihad." So if you are in fact democracy-hating, women-oppressing, and terror-financing but you want to be called "moderate" just because you're not detonating anything right now, bad luck, buddy you've just been outed. "- R. James Woolsey, Chair of FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) and former Director of Central Intelligence.
Pressezitat
Citizen Islam constitutes a timely appeal, and warning, to the West: stop legitimizing non-violent extremists. For the patient, incremental and systematic approach utilized by the Muslim Brotherhood and other non-violent extremists-to create a so-called "fully-Islamic" personality, family, community and state-poses an even greater threat to the core values of modern society, than do their impatient terrorist brethren, armed with guns and bombs." - C. Holland Taylor, Chairman & CEO, LibForAll Foundation and co-author of The Illusion of an Islamic State, with former Indonesian president Kyai Haji Abdurrahman Wahid, et al.
