RT Book T1 Islam today: a short introduction to the Muslim world A1 Ahmed, Akbar S. 1943- LA German LA English PP London u.a. PB I. B. Tauris YR 1999 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/245301828 AB Islam is the fastest-growing world religion, with over ten million Muslims in the West. As their number increases, so do the misunderstandings and conflicts between Muslims and non-Muslims. Anthropologist Ahmed accurately explains the conflicting cultural values and ignorance of East and West and does an excellent job explaining the differences between the Shi'ite and Sunni branches of Islam, women in Islam, and Muslim minorities. Unfortunately, owing to space constraints, Nigeria and Indonesia are not covered. NO Literaturverz. S. [241] - 243 SN 1860642578 K1 Islam K1 Islam : 20th century
