The story of Islam and the reality behind the headlines.
Differences and conflicts make for sensational headlines, but this
Brief Guide to Islam starts with the similarities between the major
Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Only then can
the differences be understood. By exploring the beliefs, history
and politics of the ordinary people of Muslim countries, Paul
Grieve offers a fully comprehensive survey that combines
authoritative analysis with carefully chosen primary sources,
lists, storytelling and illustrations. The result is user-friendly
book that challenges cliche and stereotype in areas such as art
women, banking, war, Malcolm X, literature and the dos and don'ts
of visiting a Muslim country. It also exposes the big issues behind
the headlines: can Islam support true democracy? Is true democracy
what the West really wants for the Middle East? Or are we merely
seeking a cover of legitimacy for a policy of 'might is right'?
