Reseña del editor

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. Truly a must-have reference for our changing and trying times, this user-friendly guide answers nearly 800 questions and offers fun facts that cover Islamic history, religious practices, and Muslim cultural perspectives, including

· 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"?

· 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?
