Facts About Islam: What everyone should know

Since 9/11 Islam is one of the most prominent topics of our time. Every day we receive news from the Islamic world, mostly negative. We want to believe, that all those reassurances by journalists and politicians are true and that Islam is actually a peaceful religion. But a slight discomfort remains. With every terrorist attack we grow more skeptical and the constant reassurances, that all those negative news have nothing to do with Islam itself, ring more and more hollow. Despite that only few people familiarize themselves with the real content of the Quran and Hadiths. This book is a short, yet comprehensive introduction to the critical analysis of Islam. It throws a light on the mistakes of the media and public debate and provides answers to the arguments of those who try to stop any criticism of Islam and deny its responsibility for the problems and backwardness in the Islamic world.With more than 120 Quran verses and passages from Hadiths it will show, that the world view of Islamists is reflected in the holy scriptures and that it takes a lot of interpretational work to consider Islam a religion of peace. Up to now a liberal Islam is no reality but a project for the future. An honest discussion without shading the facts would be a first step towards reformation.
