Summary
A timely analysis of the varying branches of Islam addresses political, cultural, and religious issues while sharing historical information about how the faith and some of its more controversial aspects evolved, in a treatise that covers specific manifestations of the faith as they are experienced in neutral Canada.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Since 9/11, the world has been confronted with the most volatile facets of Islam with little explanation of how or why these controversial elements developed. Written by one of North America's most honored journalists, Being Muslim presents an up-front and clear explanation of this complex and emotion-laden subject.
Although the varying branches of Islam are analyzed and their history outlined, the real focus of the book is on the present. In speaking about and crossing political, cultural, and religious divisions, the author offers a unique perspective based on life in Canada, a country in which diverse groups of people have found a way to live in peace. Aimed at young adults, the book offers invaluable insight to readers of all ages, cultures, and religious traditions.
