The volumes in the Religions of the World series surveys religions that have had a major impact on the history of the world and that continue to play a role in the relationships between nations and ethnic groups. All aspects-including roots and founding, primary beliefs and cultural activities, the way the faiths are viewed by the rest of the world, and the experience of growing up as a member of the religion-are examined.Based in the same scriptures as both Judaism and Christianity, Islam has many similarities with the major Western religions. In the post-9/11 climate of terrorism and fear, Islam remains one of the world's most misunderstood faiths. It is now more important than ever for non-Muslims to learn to understand the religion founded by the prophet Muhammad.
