Cosmopolitans and Heretics New Muslim Intellectuals and the Study of Islam

In tracing the roots of present-day Islamic thinking, the author unearths the surprisingly diverse origins of the progressive and often provocative ideas expounded by various cosmopolitan Muslim intellectuals of the late 20th and early 21th century.
