AB "This book analyses the transnational networks of Salafi Sunni Muslim 'ulama, encompassing Egypt, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. It examines how these networks of conservative 'ulama have been developed and sustained, while taking into consideration the contest between their alternative political persuasions: activists versus quietists. The book evaluates the impacts of local and regional circumstances on the transnational networks of Salafi 'ulama. It examines how these networks are fostered or destabilised by these interactions, resulting in contestations and negotiations over Salafi religious and political identities. This book also offers a reassessment of existing Salafi typology by examining the attitudes of the 'ulama towards the Sunni-Shia divide, towards jihadi-Salafism, and towards social issues concerning Muslim societies"--
