The First Fundamentalist (Part 2)

This week’s Conflicted sees the second episode of our deep dive
into the thrilling life of 7/8th century Muslim scholar, Ahmad bin
Hanbal, founder of the Hanbali school of jurisprudence. Continuing
our series looking at the historic Islamic thinkers who have
inspired modern Salafi Jihadists today, we look at the fascinating
and drama-filled second half of the life of the first
fundamentalist. Expect more battles with Abbasid Caliphs, more
stubborn refusals to renounce his teachings, floggings, dancing,
and the infamous mihna. Join our FB Discussion group to get
