520 $aSince September 11, not a day passes without stories about "Islam"--The religion of about one-fifth of humanity--in the media. The terrorists not only unleashed a "war on terrorism," leading to the removal of two governments in Afghanistan and Iraq, they also raised the profile of Islam throughout the world as a subject for analysis and discussion. Questions that were previously discussed in the rarefied atmosphere of academia have entered the mainstream. What is the "law of jihad"? How is it that a "religion of peace" followed by millions of ordinary, decent believers can become an ideology of hatred for an angry minority? This book offers answers to these and many related questions, looking in turn at the life of the Prophet, the Quranic world-view, the evolution of the Sharia, and the emergence of sects and encounters with the West.--From publisher description.
