Teave selle e-raamatu kohta

This book weaves its way into the fabric of Islam torn into shreds by the birth of many sects. The great twins, Shia and Sunni Islam; Ismaeli Islam; Ahmadiyya Islam; Wahhabi Islam; and Taliban Islam, to name a just few, dab the fabric of Islam in patches of color to define each sect, with the color of blood the largest patch. This book rejects the common idea that the rise of terrorism in this new millennium means that Islam is retracing its steps toward older times. It poses the challenge to Muslims that, if they deigned to explore the purity of Islam exhibited during the life of Prophet Muhammad, there would be no hatred, bigotry or intolerance. The curtains of ignorance would be ripped apart and rivers of malice and enmity would be replaced by the waters of Divine Grace in love, compassion and understanding. No Islam but Islam is written in response to a myriad of lies and distortions practiced by suicide bombers and extremists. It shows that the present state of violence, injustice and the oppression of women has nothing to do with Islam, but, rather, with man-made laws.
