Goodreads asked Kamal Barghout:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Kamal Barghout ISLAM: From Purism to Extremism of Spiritually Misled SOME Muslims leads you to dig deeper in the faith to find out why SOME Muslims behave off the main stream. You have been raised as a Muslim and you believe deep down in your heart that the faith speaks of the truth, yet those who behave off the tenets also were raised as Muslims and also believe deep down in their hearts that they are speaking and living the truth. So, they blow up a bus killing children. We decry that for them but we can not reject that they belong to the faith simply because they claim so and they are willing to argue with you of their "righteous" acts. We say, is killing children righteous? But then from where did they draw "rules" to rationalize it?
