About This Book

Even before September 11, 2001, Muslims were often framed by Western media and many non-Muslims as enemies of "freedom" and "progress." Like other religions, Islam is not without its ongoing tensions and struggles. However, like other religions, there is a depth and richness to the Islamic faith that is too often overlooked because of stereotypes.

This No-Nonsense Guide looks at the complexities of Islam and how its adherents are reconciling their faith with the social realities of the twenty-first century. In so doing, Merryl Wyn Davies and Zia Sardar examine the Qur'an and Islamic law ( sharia ), how world history has been shaped by Islam, Islam's rocky relationship with the Western world, and the many challenges within and without Islam.
