"Since the September 11 attacks, Islam has come under increased scrutiny as people try to understand what role it played in those events. Henry Bayman, who has studied with the Sufi Masters of Central Anatolia for a quarter of a century, offers a fresh look at Islam in all its dimensions. He demonstrates that properly understood, Islam and terrorism are incompatible. But this is only the prelude to this wide-ranging anthology. Addressing both the Divine Law, which regulates the Moslem's external conduct, and Sufism, which deals with spiritual matters, The Secret of Islam reveals the true depth of a world religion with fourteen centuries of history and more than a billion followers. Among other insights, the book shows how democracy can be derived directly from the Koran, and how women's rights were improved rather than curtailed by the Prophet." "Based on the teachings of the great Sufi Master Ahmet Kavhan, this book will provide food for thought and provoke discussion for many years to come."--BOOK JACKET.
