Review
"By giving democracy a technical and legal basis in Islamic law, El Fadl provides it with a certificate of authentication". -- Bezalel Stern, Jerusalem Post
El Fadl provides [democracy] with a certificate of authentication that secular writers . . . cannot. -- Bezalel Stern , The Jerusalem Post

Review
What El Fadl achieves in his short book is noteworthy primarily because he brings the concept of democracy home, literally, for the world's Muslims. By giving democracy a technical and legal basis in Islamic law, El Fadl provides it with a certificate of authentication that secular writers . . . cannot.
(Bezalel Stern The Jerusalem Post )
In a just world, Khaled Abou El Fadl would get as much publicity as Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Bin Laden and Zarqawi blow up buildings and slaughter fellow Muslims. Abou El Fadl blows up everything those two terrorists supposedly believe in.
