Robin Wright -- Rock the Casbah -- Temple Beth Am
Rock the Casbah (Simon & Schuster, $26.99) takes readers deep into the struggle within the Muslim world where a growing movement defies and challenges extremism and repudiates Osama bin Laden, his deviant doctrine, and his violent disciples.
In Robin Wright’s recent reporting, she discovers a new trend spreading within the Muslim world—the rejection of Islamic extremists. This new jihad, which Wright describes in its many manifestations, has various goals. For some Muslims, it’s about reforming the faith. For others, it’s about reforming political systems. For all, it is about achieving basic rights—on their own terms, not Western ones. What is at its heart is the rejection of venomous ideologies, suicide bombs, plane hijackings, hostage-takings, and mass violence. Muslims, Wright demonstrates, are doing what the West cannot—confronting extremism on its own terms and rescuing the faith from a virulent minority and changing history.
This event is a presentation of the Howard and Sharon Socol Series in collaboration with Books & Books.
