Summary/Abstract |
This article contests assertions in Alain Gabon’s response to Adis Duderija’s article “The Salafi Worldview and the Hermeneutical Limits of Mainstream Sunni Critique of Salafi-Jihadism.”1 I demonstrate that Gabon’s response is problematic in three ways: he dismisses legitimate challenges and the debates they have engendered in the field; entirely misses the point of the original article by refuting an argument the original article did not make; and provides a weak refutation that does not withstand scrutiny.
