Islam Explained
Book - 2002
In an accessible question-and-answer format, Islam Explained clarifies the main tenets of Islam, the major landmarks in Islamic history, and the current politics of Islamic fundamentalism. The book also sheds light on the key words that have come to dominate the media--terrorist, crusade, jihad, fundamentalist, fatwa--offering lucid and balanced explanations, not only for youngsters but also for the general reader.
Islam Explained is at once an essential introduction to one of the world's great religions and a cry for tolerance and understanding in deeply troubled times.

Add a CommentThis book is great to read to your children or get them to read it. With its simplified answers that children can understand, it helps to enlighten the controversial 9/11 tragedy which occurred in 2001. A very useful tool for all parents, to prevent prejudice and racism in the minds of our children.
