AUTHOR

Ahmed, Akbar S., Rosen, Lawrence

SUMMARY

Reissued with a new introduction, Discovering Islam is a classic account of how the history of Islam and its relations with the West have shaped Islamic society today. Islam is often caricatured, especially in the West, as aggressive and fanatic. Written by a leading authority on Islam and in the tradition of Ibn Khaldun, this readable and wide-ranging book balances that image, uncovers the roots of Islamic discontent and celebrates the sources of its strength. From the four "ideal Caliphs" who succeeded the Prophet to the refugee camps of Peshawar, an objective picture emerges of the main features of Muslim history and the compulsions of Muslim society.Ahmed, Akbar S. is the author of 'Discovering Islam Making Sense of Muslim History and Society', published 2002 under ISBN 9780415285247 and ISBN 0415285240.
