DESCRIPTION:Salafism\, a modern reformist movement in Sunni Islam\, is oft
 en labeled “radical Islam” or “Islamic fundamentalism” and tied to
  images of terrorism or hardline interpretations of Islamic law. But Matth
 ew D. Taylor’s recent book Scripture People: Salafi Muslims in Evangelic
 al Christians’ America offers a different lens for considering Salafism.
  Drawing on his own American evangelical background and his ethnographic s
 tudies and interviews with American Salafi leaders\, Dr Taylor shows how\,
  despite the many negative connotations attached to the movement\, Salafis
 m is a very flexible and adaptive form of contemporary Islam. He argues th
 at the similarities between the Salafi approach to Islamic scripture and t
 he evangelical approach to Christian scripture have actually allowed Salaf
 is to find a niche within American religious pluralism in the post-9/11 en
 vironment. Today\, Salafism in America is well integrated into the America
 n Muslim community\, and there are even Salafi leaders and shaykhs who’v
 e forged interfaith friendships and alliances.\nSpeakers:\nDr Matthew Tayl
 or (Oxford Interfaith Forum)
