Vision of Islam - Hamza Yusuf - William Chittick (Muhammad Quran Religion Arab History Theology)

Description Hamza Yusuf's commentary on Murata's and Chittick's The Vision of Islam makes crystal clear the meanings of a Muslim's beliefs, actions, and spiritual journey through life. Wonderful for Muslims interested in a more thorough understanding of their religion, this set is also an excellent introduction to Islam for people of other faiths who wish to gain a clear understanding of Islam's basic principles and practices. Remembered by students for its liveliness and clarity, this set is filled with fascinating insights into Islam. http://www.astrolabe.com/product/1490/Vision_of_Islam.html =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=++===+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ From Library Journal Most English-language introductions to Islam (and to Christianity and Judaism as well) scant the intellectual and spiritual; instead, they stress the externals-the things one must do to be saved, to be justified, to be upright before God and one's fellows. Basic doctrine, moral teaching, and ritual obligations are, as Murata and Chittick point out, all that the ordinary Muslim believer, prospective convert, and casually interested non-Muslim observer really need to know. The authors (comparative studies, SUNY at Stonybrook) provide a systematic and thorough handbook of basic Islamic theology on many topics, such as the nature of God and man, revelation and scripture, prayer and the interior life, and mysticism and devotion. For serious students of Islam (and its relationship to Judaism and Christianity) who are undaunted by technical terminology, this work is the book to have. For academic libraries and public libraries with substantial collections in religion. James F. DeRoche, Alexandria, Va.

I saw the debate in Stockholm between the terrorist Deedat and the Swedish pastor.
It proved without any doubt that A) The Koran is the word of Satan and b) that mohammedanians are terrorists.
How can I say that? Well it is clear that Satan has come to lie and to destroy and to murder. And it is also a fact that during the debate the mohammedanians tried to kill the Swedish pastor with poison and that the terrorist Deedat, who is a man of Allah participated in this attempt to murder the Swedish pastor for believing in the one true God: Jesus Christ.
So since murder, lies and deceptions are the work of the devil and Deedat and the other mohammedanians there tried to kill the Swedish pastor by deception and poison and it is clear that Deedat is a man of allah that allah therefor must be the devil.
Case closed.

No religion or society has been as responsible as Islam for invasions, intolerance, genocide, massacre, civil war, annihilation of other cultures, abuse of women and children, persecution of non-believers, and general inhumanities.
Islam as a religion or belief system should at least decrease these problems, and yet it has failed like none other. Instead Islam has been used to justify and magnify human evil for 1500 years.
At the very least Islam has not proven a reasonable model for civilized success.
Islamic countries are constantly in civil war.
Islamic countries have either no tolerance for non-Islamic beliefs or brutally subjugate non-Muslims.
Islamic countries demonstrate the worst abuse of women.
Freedom of speech doesn't exist.
Wherever Islam goes all non-Islamic culture and belief is destroyed. Art, libraries, architecture, are all destroyed if non-Islamic.
