Contemporary Egypt : The Islamist Movement and the Learned Tradition.
In reading Al Farida al Gha'iba, the manifesto of Sadat's assassins, one is taken aback by the plethora of quotations from medieval Moslem scholars such as Ibn Taimiyya and Ibn Kathir. The aim of such references is to confer Islamic legitimacy on the uprising against an unjust ruler, accused of exercising his power in contradiction with God's teachings. Al Farida al Gha'iba is an Islamic sermon written by non-scholar, a lumpen-intellectual with poor university credentials. It challenges the clerical monopoly on hermeneutics of the Tradition. It also proves to be subversive and coherent revolutionary discourse that overshadows the ideology of left-wing intellectuals.
