In\u003ci\u003e For Putin and for Sharia\u003c\/i\u003e, Kaliszewska challenges the official dichotomy of Muslims as supporting either the political underground or state authorities and deconstructs the Salafi\/Sufi division between the so-called reformists and traditional Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue: Pizza with Shakhidkas\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Sipping Coffee to the Sound of Gunfire\u003cbr\u003e 1.
