"This is a tremendously important work, as it weaves together elements of ethnography, anthropology, sociology, legal studies, and human interest to situate what ultimately became of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, formerly the largest Muslim charity in the United States. [T]here is no extended ethnography quite like this one on this particular case."-Wadie E. Said, author of Crimes of Terror
