Title: keep it in context
Review: Hamid Algar is a passionate Sufi - and he has the right to be one. However it is important to understand that this book is merely his polemical attack against a group that criticizes the ideas of his own sect. The book is dismaly small, and full of stereotypical over-generalizations that are typically found in Western sources. As is typical with books about 'Wahhabis', it rarely quotes the works of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab directly.Definitely not a scholarly work, but one which summarizes the anti-Wahhabist view of Wahhabism.If you want to read this work, keep these points in mind, and also read Natana D. Bas's work Wahhabi Islam. That is more sympathetic, and has plenty of quotes from the writings of the founder.
