 | | The Wahhabist Islamic tradition that sprang from the harsh Arabian desert seems to be, for Manji, the genesis of the violent edge of Islam. |
 | | Austere, protective of the tribe over the individual, demanding of unwavering and absolute acceptance without thought – of the Koran, of authority, of the Koran interpreted by authority – Wahhabist Islam does seem to be the source of much of Islamic violence. |
 | | Wahhabism and the terror it has sown throughout the world is the blood drenched spawn of ijtihad, the direct result of the application of independent thought Manji offers up as a way to save Islam, and her personal faith, from the plague of violence and hate that currently bedevils it. |
