No God But God

Zusatztext

<p>*Ten years on from 9/11, much of the Muslim faith remains largely unknown and misunderstood in the West.</p><p>*While there have been a number of successful books on the topic of Islamic history - from Karen Armstrong's<i>Islam: A Brief History</i>to Bernard Lewis's<i>The Crises of Islam</i>- there is surprisingly no book for a popular audience about Islam as a religion, let alone one by an author from an Islamic background.</p><p>*<i>No God But God</i>fills that gap, addressing issues of belief: the difference between the Quran and the Bible, the meaning of the Hajj, the Muslim relationship with Jesus, the Muslim attitude towards Jews, equality between the sexes and more.</p><p>* This revised and updated edition includes a wealth of new material and new chapters covering recent uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya; the changing face of Islam in Europe and North Africa; and a number of topics of heated debate (the veil controversy; Islam&women; Iraq War as a Jihadi recruiting agent etc).</p>
