"Written in a style easily accessible to both students and general readers, The Many Faces of Islam offers a wide range of perspectives of modern Islamic culture and religious practice. Seeking to dispel the perception that Islamic fundamentalism and extremism represent Islam in its entirely, Nissim Rejwan surveys the issues and provides numerous excerpts from modern writers and scholars. Muslim and non-Muslim, summarizing the many problems and dilemmas facing contemporary Muslims.".
"Rejwan argues that to view Islam as uniform and all of a piece invites confusion and miscomprehension. The rich sampling of readings amplifies the summary discussion and demonstrates the surprising variety of Islamic concepts and practices. Issues include the uniqueness of Islam, the decline of the Islamic establishment, the impact of modernity, misunderstandings of Islam, Islam and the Dhimmis, the fundamentalist revival, and more."--BOOK JACKET.
