This is a post-9/11 book on Islam. Contrary to the common perception, 9/11 has opened up a whole new world of opportunity for us. Muslims the world over have started questioning themselves why despite being the upholders of the Last Revelation, for so long, they have been living on the margins of history? Creative nations always turn their crisis hours into opportune moments. This book intends just to set the ball rolling in the right direction.

In recent years, Islamic fundamentalist, revolutionary, and jihadist movements have overshadowed more moderate and reformist voices and trends within Islam. This compelling volume introduces the current generation of reformist thinkers and activists, the intellectual traditions they carry on, and the reasons for the failure of reformist movements to sustain broad support in the Islamic world today.Richly detailed, regionally focused chapters cover Iran, the Arab East, the Maghreb, South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Europe, and North America. The editor’s introductory chapter traces

Relying explicitly on the source texts of Islam, including the Holy Quran and the sayings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Dr. da Costa details the true rights and roles of Muslim women. He then presents several leading female figures from Islamic history whose exemplary lives truly demonstrate the honor and power God has bestowed upon women. If we consider Islam in its traditional form, as practiced by the majority of Muslims throughout the world, and not the handful of fundamentalists to whom our attention is often drawn, we too may witness The Honor of Women in Islam.

In the acclaimed book Muslim Evangelism, Phil Parshall devotes one chapter to “bridges which can assist in facilitating understanding between Islam and Christianity.” In Bridges to Islam he expands that key chapter into a book. The most promising bridges can be found not in orthodox Islam, contends the author, but in “folk Islam,” which is less well known in the West but which influences about 70 percent of the world’s Muslims. Popular Islam consists largely of people “who desire to know God and to be accepted by him,” writes the author. “They have a high view of one God who is
