In "Islam Unveiled," Robert Spencer dares to face the hard
questions about what the Islamic religion actually teaches--and the
potentially ominous implications of those teachings for the future
of both the Muslim world and the West. Going beyond the shallow
distinction between a "true" peaceful Islam and the "hijacked"
Islam of terrorist groups, Spencer probes the Koran and Islamic
traditions (as well as the history and present-day situation of the
Muslim world) as part of his inquiry into why the world's fastest
growing faith tends to arouse fanaticism. "Islam Unveiled"
evaluates the relationship between Islamic fundamentalism and
"mainstream" Islam; the fixation with violence and jihad; the
reasons for Muslims' disturbing treatment of women; and devastating
effects of Muslim polygamy and Islamic divorce laws. Spencer
explores other daunting questions--why the human rights record of
Islamic countries is so unrelievedly grim and how the root causes
of this record exist in basic Muslim beliefs; why science and high
culture died out in the Muslim world--and why this is a root cause
of modern Muslim resentment. He evaluates what Muslims learn from
the life of Muhammad, the man that Islam hails as the supreme model
of human behavior. Above all, this provocative work grapples with
the question that most preoccupies us today: can Islam create
successful secularized societies that will coexist peacefully with
the West's multicultural mosaic?
