Full Description
Islam, the most misunderstood of the World's great religions, is balanced on a precipice between the past the future, between fanatical fundamentalists and progressives advocating peace. Noted Islamic authority Michael Wolfe moderates 35 expert speakers, writers and leaders, including Muhammed Ali and Karen Armstrong, the best-selling author of A HISTORY OF GOD. They discuss the future of Islam, tear down false stereotypes, review the historical realities that have shaped the religion, and examine paradoxes and schisms within the faith. The book includes experts from beliefnet postings (the leading multi-faith internet site)
