- Synopsis
- Journalist Schwartz directs the Center for Islamic Pluralism, and has also written a book on Saudi fundamentalism. Here he explores a form of Islam that in the West, if known at all, is mistaken for a minor mystical sect of the past with little or no significance in today's world. He traces the origin and history of Sufism, describes their place in today's Muslim world generally and specifically in what he identifies as the crisis states. He also looks at Sufi manifestations in the Islam outside the Arab world. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
