A Gateway To Hell, A Gateway To Paradise: The North African Response to the Arab Conquest - SLAEI - Studies in Late Antiquity and Early Islam 2. wydanie

This book is a study of the early history of the lbadiyya in North Africa, a "moderate" movement among the Kharijis which from its base in Basra gradually spread among the Berbers of the Maghrib in the 750s. The Berbers found in this new religious allegiance an attractive ideology with which to rebel against the central caliphate.
