Год издания: 0000
In an age of continued Middle East volatility, religious extremists, and terrorist threats, the mere mention of Islam and Muslims too often provokes misunderstanding and even rancor. Often overlooked are the important links between the Qur'an and the Bible. Also ignored are the significant historical overlap between Islamic interpretation of history with those of Christianity and Judaism, including the monotheistic belief in a single God. Islam is too often confusing and even opaque to those unfamiliar with it.The Handy Islam Answer Book, is clearly and eloquently written by John Renard, Ph.D., a scholar of Islam with more than 40 years of research and teaching experience. He provides detailed descriptions of the history, beliefs, symbols, rituals, observations, customs, leaders, and organization of the world’s second largest religion. Renard explains the significance of the Five Pillars, Muhammad, various sects, the Qur'an, Islamic law, and much more. This engaging primer is a resource for reliable information about Islam and Muslims and it brings an understanding of the shared humanity that joins Muslims and non-Muslims far more deeply than cultural or religious differences separate them.

Poliitiliselt ebakorrektne tode islamist
Автор: Robert Spencer
Год издания:
„Rebigu Allah valja tema selgroog ja raiugu tema aju kaheks ning pangu siis need molemad tagasi ja tehku seda uuesti ja uuesti. Aamen.“ Autorile osaks saanud “palve” Arvad, et tunned islamit? Peaaegu koik, mida sa islamist ja ristisodadest tead, on vale! • Muhammad ei jutlustanud rahu ja sallivust! Oma vaenlased lasi ta johkralt morvata. Oma jungritele opetas ta, et sodima peab seni, kuni islami seadus kehtib ka mittemuslimite riikides. • Ristisodade eesmark oli enesekaitse! Tegu ei olnud eurooplaste jultunud runnakuga suutute muslimite vastu, vaid hoopis hilinenud vastuloogiga sajandeid kestnud muslimite agressioonile. • Paljukiidetud islami kultuuri kuldajastu toukejouks olid mittemuslimid! • Euroopa voib XXI sajandi lopuks olla islamiusku… Islamiekspert Robert Spencer on organisatsiooni Jihad Watch direktor ja Free Congress Foundationi kaastooline. Ta on kirjutanud uheksa islamiteemalist raamatut, teiste hulgas bestselleri “Kogu tode Muhammadist: maailma koige sallimatuma religiooni asutaja”. Oma poliitiliselt ebakorrektse stiili tottu on tema elukoht salastatud.
