Insider's guide to Islam

"Islam is the religion of total submission to God. It is the belief of more than one-fifth of all human beings and is the second largest religion in the world. Despite its large number, little was known about it in America until after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Unfortunately, the American media has portrayed Islam negatively since September 11th and distorted its true meaning. Many people are beginning to ask questions about Islam. This book provides honest and forthright answers to their questions. 'An Insider's Guide to Islam' is a practical guide that explains Islam as understood and practiced by Muslims of diverse backgrounds. For Muslims, Islam is a way of life and a religion of peace that brings tranquility and harmony to their lives. Islam is a rich culture and a unique tradition which must be understood on its own merits. The author brings insight into what Islam means, how it is practiced and its relationship with other religions. He also analyzes the concept of Jihad, the role of women in Islam and the values that Islamic cherishes. The unique development of Islam in America and the roles that Muslims play in the United States are also thoughtfully considered in this book"--Publisher's description, back cover
