Exploring the beliefs, history and politics of the ordinary people of Muslim countries, Grieve cuts through the complexities as he examines all aspects of Islam. He also addresses the big issues: Can Islam support true democracy? Is true democracy what the West really wants for Muslim countries or are we merely seeking a cover of legitimacy for a policy of 'might is right'? Paul Grieve is an unbeliever - he is not a born-again Muslim, a proselytizer or a frustrated desert romantic. His aim is to inform.

This book seeks to provide a guided examination of what unites and divides the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic communities.

He investigates the type of monotheism each religion shares before providing an in-depth overview of each religion, one by one.

ISIS rocketed onto the world stage seemingly out of nowhere, beheading American hostages, bulldozing international borders, routing the American-trained Iraqi Army, and carving out a new state that rules eight million people and a territory larger than the United Kingdom.

Bolder even than the ambitious books for which Stephen Greenblatt is already renowned, The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve explores the enduring story of humanity's first parents. Comprising only a few ancient verses, the story of Adam and Eve has served as a mirror in which we seem to glimpse the whole long history of our fears and desires, as both a hymn to human responsibility and a dark fable about human wretchedness.

Twenty years ago, the image of burning copies of Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" held aloft by thousand-strong mobs of protestors became an internationally familiar symbol of anger and offence. Kenan Malik examines how the Rushdie affair transformed the debate worldwide on multiculturalism, tolerance and free speech, helped fuel the rise of radical Islam and pointed the way to the horrors of 9/11 and 7/7.

La nascita del Califfato di Siria e Iraq ha prodotto, tra gli altri disastri, l'acuirsi del conflitto lungo le linee dello scisma tra sunniti e sciiti. Ciò ha provocato l'apertura di diversi teatri di guerra: Yemen, Libano, Bahrein, addirittura Afghanistan, oltre, ovviamente, a Siria e Iraq. Si tratta di una lotta per l'egemonia regionale, che coinvolge le identità religiose di milioni di fedeli nell'area e in diaspora.

Chi sono oggi i musulmani? In che cosa si differenzia la loro tradizione religiosa rispetto a quella cristiana? Nel ripercorrere la storia, i principi del credo, i precetti del culto, sino alle forme e alle correnti del pensiero religioso islamico, l'audiolibro fa emergere le contraddizioni di un universo tutt'altro che monolitico. Un universo assai diversificato a seconda delle aree geografiche, oggi diviso tra modernizzazione e radicalismo, ma destinato a giocare un ruolo di primaria importanza.

Il 90% circa dei musulmani si riconosce nella tradizione religiosa sunnita, che rappresenta l'"ortodossia" rispetto alla corrente minoritaria sciita, sorta dalle lotte civili per la successione dopo la morte del Profeta. Oltre a delineare un quadro storico e dottrinale del sunnismo, il volume fa chiarezza sulle correnti che agitano il mondo sunnita contemporaneo, da quelle riformiste e moderate a quelle conservatrici e radicali, a quelle più estremiste che hanno rivendicato il ritorno al califfato tradizionale.

Growing up in a strict Muslim community in London, Alom Shaha learnt that religion was not to be questioned. Reciting the Qur'an without understanding what it meant was simply part of life; so was obeying the imam and enduring beatings when he failed to attend the local mosque. Shaha was more drawn to science, and as a teen, he lived between two worlds: the home controlled by his authoritarian father, and a school alive with books and ideas. In this charming blend of memoir, philosophy, and science, Shaha explores the questions about faith and the afterlife that we all ponder.
