Islam: The Facts: An Account of What Muslims Think and Feel (Islam the Facts Book 1)

The concept for this book grew out of the tragedy of September 11. Islam: The Facts was written as a response to the many questions about Islam and Muslims that surfaced after this event. If you’ve ever wondered about the truth behind so many of the issues that hit the headlines these days, then this book will fill in some of the gaps for you. The author tackles issues such as whether there is a connection between Islam and violence, why Muslim women wear the veil, what Muslim women’s rights are and what exactly is Jihad. The answers come together to paint a vivid and accurate picture of what Muslims really believe.
Skinner manages to convey all this in plain English that, despite the reference book context, comes from the heart – she deftly puts across the basic tenets of Islam while maintaining that crucial “personal touch” that keeps the reader involved and engaged.
