Natana J. DeLong-Bas is a scholar and the author of a number of books on Islam, as well as "numerous book chapters and encyclopedia articles" on the subject of "Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism, Islamic thought and history, Islam and politics, and contemporary jihadism".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxfordislamicstudies.com/Public/ed_advisors.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mei.edu/profile/natana-j-delong-bas )〕 As of 2014 she was working with working with the King Abdul Aziz Foundation for Research and Archives in Saudi Arabia on publishing parts of the Foundation's "historical manuscript holdings".〔 DeLong-Bas was born in Pennsylvania to the family of a Christian Lutheran pastor. She graduated from Middlebury College in Vermont, and went on to Georgetown University where she earned both a Master’s degree and a Ph.D.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2612 )〕 In 2007 she taught at Brandeis University and Boston College She is a former student of and co-author with the renowned academic John Esposito.〔〔 ==Views== DeLong-Bas has expressed the view that there is too much negatively towards Wahhabism in the West, and in her writings has argued that Ibn Abd al-Wahhab was "not the godfather of contemporary terrorist movements", but "a voice of reform, reflecting mainstream eighteenth-century Islamic thought. His vision of Islamic society was based upon monotheism in which Muslims, Christians, and Jews were to enjoy peaceful co-existence and cooperative commercial treaty relations."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oupcanada.com/catalog/9780195169911.html )〕 DeLong-Bas believes that extremism in Saudi Arabia "does not stem from" Islam, but from issues such as oppression of the Palestinian people, "Iraq, and the American government's tying (hands of ) the U.N. (preventing it ) from adopting any resolution against Israel, have definitely added to the Muslim youth's state of frustration."〔 In an December 21, 2006 interview in the London daily ''Asharq Al-Awsat'', DeLong-Bas was quoted as stating that she did "...not find any evidence that would make me agree that Osama bin Laden was behind the Attack on the Twin Towers".〔 A month later in ''The Justice''—the student newspaper of Brandeis University (where she was teaching at the time) -- she disputed the quote, stating: "Of course he did. He's the CEO of Al-Qaeda and the leader of their political agenda. All I claimed was that he didn't have anything to do with the logistics or the planning of the attacks themselves."〔 Her book ''Wahhabi Islam: From Revival and Reform to Global Jihad'' received several positive reviews in the press and journals.〔 It was listed by Examiner.com as "one of the best five books of Islam" in 2011. It was also criticized by some, such as conservative Sufi author Steven Schwartz, who questioned her connections with Saudi Arabia,〔 calling her an "apologist" for Wahabbism. Reviewer Michael J. Ybarra complained that DeLong-Bas "doesn't say ... where on earth" the tolerant form of Wahhabism described by DeLong-Bas "ever existed". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Natana J.
