Morning Edition Examines Salafism
 It's been just over two years since a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself alight to protest his government, setting off revolts across the Arab world. But the road to revolution has been rocky and filled with infighting. One Arab faction is the Salafis, ultra-conservative Muslims who aspire to a society ruled entirely by Islamic law. NPR's Cairo bureau chief Leila Fadel examines the Salafis and the fears and struggles that surround them in this transitional time, in a five-part series on Morning Edition beginning Monday, Jan. 28.
