As a leading expert, John Esposito has found himself called upon to speak to a wide range of audiences, including members of Congress, the Bush administration, government agencies, the military, and the media. Out of this experience, he has identified the most pressing questions people consistently ask about Islam. In What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam, Esposito presents in question-and-answer format the information that most people want to know. Esposito provides succinct, accessible, sensitive, and even-handed answers to questions that range from the general-"What do Muslims believe?" and "Who was Muhammad?"-to more specific issues like Is Islam compatible with modernization, capitalism and democracy? How do Muslims view Judaism and Christianity? Are women second-class citizens in Islam? What is jihad? Does the Quran condone terrorism? What does Islam say about homosexuality, birth control, abortion, and slavery?; As the editor of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Modern Islam and The Oxford History of Islam, and author of Unholy War and many other acclaimed works, John Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. This brief and readable book is the first place to look for information on the faith, customs, and political beliefs of the more than one billion people who call themselves Muslims. 410 0$aWhat Everyone Needs to Know 606 $aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature 606 $aIslam$xAppreciation 606 $aGlobalization$xReligious aspects$xIslam 615 0$aIslam$xEssence, genius, nature. 615 0$aIslam$xAppreciation. 615 0$aGlobalization$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 676 $a297 700 $aEsposito$b John L$0496006 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963800003321 996 $aWhat everyone needs to know about Islam$94463697 997 $aUNINA
