About What Would A Muslim

Product Description Questions about Islam? Go to the source and ask a Muslim! Are Islam and the West locked in a deadly clash of civilizations? Is Islam compatible with democracy and human rights? Will religious fundamentalism block the development of modern societies in the Islamic world? Are Muslims commanded to deceive non-Muslims in any way, at any time, if it serves Islam? Is ISIS a representation of "true" Islam or a radical corruption? And why is there so much conflicting information? Since 2002, I have facilitated interfaith dialogues with many different people. The conversations in these books are authentic. Some are curious, some are concerned, some are hostile, some are academic, and some are soul-searching. These transcripts showcase everyday people — from angry and concerned to inquisitive and supportive — asking real questions and getting straight answers about Islam. This book will answer questions, build bridges, and promote understanding.

Review "Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, What Would a Muslim Say is impressively informed and informative, making it a critically important addition to both community and academic library collections. Deserving of the widest readership possible given today's national dialogue concerning Americans of the Muslim faith..." - James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review "For readers who know little about Islam, but see or watch the news and social media and have some questions, What Would a Muslim Say is a useful introduction ... Rashed's responses are intelligent, detailed, thorough, and scholarly, but offered in a respectful, understandable, and friendly tone. He is like a skilled educator who encourages dialog, rather than simply answering a question." - Kimberlee J Benart, Readers' Favorite "There's never been a more important time for interfaith dialogue than now. Rashed explains how the tenets of his religion forbid the sort of behaviour shown by extremist groups." - Allister N. Thompson, Freelance Editor "Loved this book! The format is new and innovative, and the content is very informative ... gave me new insight into the Muslim faith." - Lily Shadowlyn, The Faerie Review "When I was reading this, I found the combination of content from scripture to prophetic tradition and then historical perspectives along with striking metaphors and analogies to be extraordinary." - Safwan Eid, Imam Islamic Center of Saginaw "Reading What Would a Muslim Say felt like taking a journey in the minds and hearts of people and what they feel and think about Islam and Muslims. The questions are honest and reflect the thirst that people have to understand and explore what Islam is about." - Hoda Elsharkawi, Muslim Chaplain, Massachusetts Institute of Technology About the Author Ahmed Lotfy Rashed was born in Egypt and raised in Maryland.
