Forget everything you've heard about Islam. . .this is Islam
Uncensored.
Tired of the simplistic cultural conversation about the nature
of Islam, the author set out to write a book about Islam that was
unlike any other.
He interviewed fourteen leaders and experts on Islam that span
the ideological spectrum within religion, politics, and worldview
to get to the bottom of one of today's most controversial and
timely subjects. . .what is the nature of Islam.
The leaders interviewed are liberals and conservatives and
represent every corner of the religious landscape including a
radical Islamist, two Muslim reformers, Jews, Christians, and
Atheists.
Other interviewees include a feminist, the son of one of the
founders of Hamas, and even an ex CIA Director.
The author gets out of the way and lets the reader hear from
these riveting personalities directly.
A great part of the appeal of this book is that the leaders and
experts you are introduced to are not in agreement as to the nature
of Islam-to the point that if they were put in a room and asked to
define Islam, war might break out.
Yet, what these leaders who represent completely different
religious and political orientations say in common about Islam is
simply extraordinary and will quite likely shake your
worldview.
This book is absolute must reading for anybody who wants to
understand Islam beyond the usual simplistic messages you are fed
about Islam from the media, government, and culture ("Islam is
evil" and "Islam is a religion of peace").
