Islamic law is one of the major legal systems in the world today, yet it is often misunderstood, particularly in the West. It is applicable in different forms as part of state law in countries across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and also has a strong influence on Muslim communities throughout the Western world.

In the post-9/11 West, there is no shortage of strident voices telling us that Islam is a threat to the security, values, way of life, and even existence of the United States and Europe. In this fearless, original, and surprising book, Anne Norton demolishes the notion that there is a "clash of civilizations" between the West and Islam. What is really in question, she argues, is the West's commitment to its own ideals: to democracy and the Enlightenment trinity of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Understanding the Koran gives you an essential grasp of Islam's holy book: where it came from, what it teaches, how Muslims view it, and how the Allah of the Koran compares with the God of the Bible.

After September 11, Ranya Idliby, an American Muslim of Palestinian descent, faced constant questions about Islam, God, and death from her children, the only Muslims in their classrooms.

In many societies, a woman is still regarded as a second-class citizen and deprived of basic rights enjoyed by the male population. Resenting this discrimination, they have championed a fight to obtain equal status, which unfortunately to date eludes them in the more modern Western states. Whereas the pendulum has swung to the extremes and has opened the way to licentiousness in the modern society, the West has often regarded Islamic women as being backward in a male-dominated world. On the contrary, Islam was the first religion formally to grant the women a status never known before.

The term Moor is a historical rather than an ethnic name. It is an invention of European Christians for the Islamic inhabitants of Maghreb (North Africa), Andalusia (Spain), Sicily and Malta, and was sometimes use to designate all Muslims. It is derived from Mauri, the Latin name for the Berbers who lived in the Roman province of Mauretania, which ranged across modern Algeria and Morocco. Saracen was another European term used to designate Muslims, though it usually referred to the Arabic peoples of the Middle East.

This book will help you present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Muslims in an engaging and effective way. Many people over the years have asked me questions about presenting the Gospel to Muslims. In fact, they have had more questions on this topic than on any other. Their message was clear: Sharing the Gospel with Muslims is no easy task. I have come to believe that their greatest need is not a book that presents stories or testimonies to share with Muslims or one that gives sample conversations with Muslims.

Christians oftentimes are so ignorant of Islam and Mormonism that they argue that the Quran or Book of Mormon can’t be true if they contradict the KJV Bible, because they don’t understand that the Quran says that the Bible was altered by copyist transcribers onto decaying scrolls repeatedly, while Joseph Smith said the Bible was mistranslated if it disagrees with Mormonism. This book explains the differences between the Quran and KJV Bible, and also reveals other evidence for why the Quran’s version of Jesus could be possible.
