Rediscovering Islam

Rediscovering Islam - Revision 2 Since 9/11 Islam and Muslims have occupied the centre stage of global attention unfortunately mostly for negative reasons. This book makes an attempt to present interpretations derived from the Qur'an to concepts that have been clouded by misunderstandings. Several questions find refreshingly satisfying answers here provoking deeper thought and reflection. • How does Islam view other religions? What does this life mean for a true Muslim? • Does this religion that mean peace in its name call for jihad against non-Muslims? When is jihad allowed? • Is Islam anti-democracy? What is the Islamic stance toward human rights? Under which crimes is capital punishment allowed? • In Islam are women inferior to men? • Does the Qur'an ask for blind faith? Does intellect find a place in religion?
