No God but God: Egypt and the Triumph of Islam

Abstract

In Egypt, a new type of Islamic revival - a hidden revolution - has been quietly taking shape. Immersing herself in the lives of ordinary Egyptians, from the busy streets of Cairo to the quiet rural villages, Abdo shows how Egypt offers a new model for the transformation of a secular nation-state to an Islamic one without the violent overthrow of the ruling-power. Because the West has been so blinded by a narrow definition of Islam, Abdo argues, it has failed to notice that Egypt is quietly being transformed into an Islamic state - a development that will pose a greater challenge to western interests than the militant movements now on the decline.
