  1. Whatever Happened to the Islamists? Salafis, Heavy Metal Muslims, and the Lure of Consumerist Islam. An interesting new book that I am going to have to get hold of. I have followed the work of Amel Boubekeur for a number of years. She has written some excellent articles on “cool Islam” and the repackaging of Islam in commercial products. This edited collection follows with those themes. Available on Amazon and here through Columbia UP.

  2. Some folks have contacted me asking how to get hold of the book. It should be in the shops in Hong Kong by now, it is also easy to pick up a copy at HKU book shop on campus. Perhaps the easiest way to get hold of it is from HKU Press website. However they changed the webpage link and all my old web links haven’t been working for the last couple of days. So here it is again. Thanks to everyone who has been following the news of the book, and those who have already managed to get hold of a copy. It won’t be out in the US and UK till November, then you can get it on Amazon.
