"This is a major contribution to the field. Over the past twenty
years there has been growing public concern about Islamic education
in general and Muslim madrasas in particular. The latter have come
to be seen as nurturers of Islamic radicalism, indeed, as training
centers for jihadi militants and terrorists. This book makes the
enormously important point to those who would wish to essentialize
Islam or madrasas that Islamic education is profoundly shaped by
local contexts as Muslims seek the best possible ways to grasp,
live, and communicate a Muslim life."--Francis Robinson, Royal
Holloway, University of London
"This book is outstanding in the breadth and maturity of
scholarship it assembles on a subject of surpassing importance at
once academically and in the wider world of public policy. The
editors and contributors lay out a thought-provoking set of studies
of educational practices, institutions, intellectual content, and
debates about the past, present, and likely futures of Islamic
education. The richness of these accounts should put paid to
scholarly as well as political stereotyping of Islamic
education--from the shibboleths of 'rote learning' to the
association of madrasa with terrorism. This book is a must read for
all scholars and researchers on Islam."--Jon W. Anderson, Catholic
University of America
