"In sum, this is an excellent work about tradionalist Sunni theology as a vision of the world, incorporating doctrine, rituals and ethics as embraced by a marginal Swedish Salafi group. I highly recommend it as a thorough, skilled and precise analysis of the tenets of contemporary Salafism." --Belhaj, Abdessamad, Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations, Volume 31, 2020
