The Al Queda Reader
Email from a friend:
There's an interview on CSPAN BookTV of Raymond Ibrahim, the editor and translator of The Al Qaeda Reader.
Lawrence Wright, author of The Looming Tower, is the interviewer. I don't know if he was just doing it as an interviewing technique, but Wright kept trying to equate Islamic and Christian and Jewish fundamentalism and kept trying to propose moderate interpretations of Islamic texts. Ibrahim, who seems to have a thorough knowledge of Islamic tradition and history, would have none of that. He was refreshingly straightforward about what is written in the Koran and Hadiths, how they've been interpreted and how they've been put into practice.
I am watching this right now, and it is all she says.
