4 Yet, Yavuz fails to cite my works at the proper place on page 46. He cites my dissertation in the selected bibliography of the book, probably because footnote 53 on page 34 is a reference to my dissertation. But, this reference is irrelevant, for nowhere in my dissertation have I discussed the situation of the Islamist movement before 1970. Therefore, not only is Yavuz careless about making proper references, but he also obscures the novelty of my argument.
