Inside Islam
Posted on November 20th, 2006 in General by tavaresforby ||

After reading “The AutoBiography of Malcomm X”, I became really interested on information on the religion of Islam. This book made me really curious on why Islam is practiced so dynamically across the world. Therefore, I search for a book on Islam and I found a book in which I highly recommend reading “Inside Islam”. This book is broken into three major sections: “The Faith”, “The People,” and “The Conflict” and the book is composed of a number of authors. I am not yet finished with the book, but so far so good. So far I have read about Muhammad (the founder of Islam), the Hajj (the pilgrimage to Mecca), the Islam in Iraq, Afghanistan (the Taliban), and other significant regions. This book does really good job in explaining why many Muslim in the middle east hate the US, western influences, secularism, and modernization. The only thing that I was hoping that the book had explain in which I have not read yet is about black Muslims and how they came about, their beliefs, and their conflict.
