Ahmed provides an explanation of Muslim history and society which will be of interest to Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Islam is popularly seen, especially in the West, as aggressive and fanatic. This readable and accessible account, by an internationally known social scientist, balances that image, combining an astute understanding of Islamic history with sociological analysis of contemporary Muslim societies. An objective picture emerges of the main features of Muslim history and the compulsions of Muslim society. 606 $aIslam$xHistory 606 $aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature 606 $aIslam$y20th century 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature. 615 0$aIslam 676 $a297.09 700 $aAhmed$b Akbar S$0143546 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910172241103321 996 $aDiscovering Islam$91924509 997 $aUNINA
