In short, Kadri faced a real problem: do you just discuss the intellectual matters at hand, and leave yourself open to the problem of ignoring the actual circumstances the ideas were designed to solve? Or do you lay out the social and cultural causes while not really getting to grips with the ideas? He chose the latter, probably for the better in intellectual terms (i.e., he doesn't act as if only ideas exist) but for the worse as far as the book itself goes (because he wanted to write something inviting and short).
But it was well wroth reading, if only for the evidence he produces for his own argument: that 'fundamentalist' Muslims, from the Wahhabis to the present, lack the humility, intelligence and humanity of the men they claim to be emulating.
