Today, 23 percent of the global population is Muslim, but ignorance
and misinformation about Islam persist. In this fascinating and
useful book, the acclaimed writer Perry Anderson interviews the
noted scholar of Islam Suleiman Mourad about the Qur'an and the
history of the faith. Mourad elucidates the different stages in
Islam's development: the Qur'an as scripture and the history of its
codification; Muhammad and the significance of his Sunna and
Hadith; the Sunni-Shi'a split and the formation of various sects;
the development of jihad; the transition to modernity and the
challenges of reform; and the complexities of Islam in the modern
world. He also looks at Wahhabism from its inception in the
eighteenth century to its present-day position as the movement that
galvanized modern Salafism and gave rise to militant Islam or
jihadism. The Mosaic of Islam reveals both the richness and the
fissures of the faith. It speaks of the different voices claiming
to represent the religion and spans peaceful groups and
manifestations as well as the bloody confrontations that scar the
Middle East, such as the Saudi Arabian and Iranian intervention in
the Yemen and the collapse of Syria and Iraq.
