Defining Islam: A Reader aims to present original source material
and scholarly reflections on how the word "Islam" is to be used and
understood. Ever since a group of people came into existence who
called themselves Muslims, questions of what it meant to be a
member of that group, who was to be included and who excluded, and
what the requirements for membership were, have proven to be both
divisive and defining for the community itself. Likewise for
scholars, the issue of what constitutes "Islam" when they talk
about the emergence of the religion or when they compare local
traditions or when the media debates whether the phrase "Muslim
terrorist" is meaningful or appropriate, is always a central one
for debate.
