@TheUsuli @DrUsaama @colebunzel Salam: we discussed about half a dozen differences between the book and the thesis, but I would say the author has not changed his mind on any points of major significance.

[Omar Anchassi @IslamicateBRs]

Today's episode, on Cole Bunzel's exceptionally important "Wahhabism: The History of a Militant Islamic Movement". Our longest episode yet, clocking in at three hours.

@HadiQazwini Salam dear Hadi: does this mean the book will be published online, open access? I have been searching for an online edition of the book as HUP doesn't send out digital copies for review (and shipping to Riyadh is prohibitively expensively), but without success.

[Omar Anchassi @IslamicateBRs]
