Description
A western Islamic scholar demystifies and explains one of the world's great religious traditions!When did Islam begin? Why is Mecca a holy city for Muslims? Do Muslims worship Muhammad? What was the fate of Medieval Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land? What do Muslims mean by the term "Allah"? What does the crescent moon and star symbol mean to Muslims? What is the Muslim "call to prayer"? Is it similar to "church bells"? Do Muslims believe that God "tests" people? Does Muhammad play a role in Islamic spirituality in a manner similar to Jesus' role in Christianity? Is jihad a legal concept for Muslims? Is it true that Muhammad both preached and engaged in military campaigns? Do Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the "same God"? Why do Jews, Christians, and Muslims all claim parts of Israel/Palestine as "Holy Land"? Why do some people, such as the Taliban, not want girls to get an education? Does Islam require wearing face veils? Is there any similarity between Muslim and Christian art?
