The Thing About Islam: Exposing the Myths, Facts and Controversies - Tapa blanda

Islam, more than any other world religion, has sparked off heated debate. It has both fervent supporters as well as impassioned opponents. Aimed at non-Muslims who want to understand more about the truth of what is really going on with Islam, whether they are studying it or just out of interest, this introductory guide to Islam is unlike any other in that it is written from a neutral and non-polemic point of view. It tells all you need to know to get to grips with the complexities and questions that surround the religion, and covers all aspects from the life of Mohammad, the Qur'an and its history to Islam's attitude towards women and its impact on terrorism and politics.
