Books about Islam:

bulletHamid Algar, "Wahhabism: A critical essay," Islamic Publications International, (2002). Read reviews or order this book safely from Amazon.com online book store

bulletKaren Armstrong, "Islam: A short history," (2000). Karen Armstrong was once a Roman Catholic nun and is now a leading scholar on religious affairs. According to a Amazon.com book review: Armstrong sketches the arc of a story that begins with the stirring of revelation in an Arab businessman named Muhammad. His concern with the poor who were being left behind in the blush of his society's new prosperity sets the tone for the tale of a culture that values community as a manifestation of God. Muhammad's ideas catch fire, quickly blossoming into a political empire. As the empire expands and the once fractured Arabs subdue and overtake the vast Persian domain, the story of a community becomes a panoramic drama. With great dexterity, Armstrong narrates the Sunni-Shi'ite schism, the rise of Persian influence, the clashes with Western crusaders and Mongolian conquerors, and the spiritual explorations that traced the route to God. Armstrong brings us through the debacle of European colonialism right up to the present day, putting Islamic fundamentalism into context as part of a worldwide phenomenon." Ray Olson of Booklists writes that this book is: "An invaluable primer for non-Muslims." Read reviews by Muslims and non-Muslims, or order this book safely from Amazon.com online book store
