Description: What is Islam? Is it just a set of rituals or does it have a philosophy all its own? Islam and Muslims are often in the news but does the non-Muslim really understand what Islam stands for? The author, who has taught and lectured widely on Islam in America, Europe and Asia, presents the Islamic faith as Muslims understand it.
