Sensitive Introduction to a Maligned Culture

This book is a wonderful introductory handbook for anyone unfamiliar with the beliefs, practices, and/or history of the Muslim world. It could easily be subtitled 'everything you want to ask a Muslim but were too afraid you'd offend him/her if you did.' The text is clear, brief and to the point. Although the language is simple, the book is not simplistic and does not make sweeping generalizations. The book is organized by topic. The first chapter orients the reader with a geographic and demographic overview of Islamic world, while another chapter (Islamic Civilization) provides a cultural overview. 'The Spread of Islam' outlines political history of the Islamic world. Muslim beliefs and traditions, as well as the relationships between Islam, Christianity and Judaism, are explained. This little book is highly recommended for those who consider themselves informed about the culturally diverse peoples in the world, or in their own communities.
