Though it is the fastest growing religion in the world, Islam remains shrouded in ignorance and fear. To many in the west, Islam means jihad, veiled women and suicide bombers. Yet these represent only fringe elements of the world's fastest growing religion. While there have been a number of successful books on the topic of Islamic history - from Karen Armstrong's Islam: A Brief History to Bernard Lewis's The Crisis of Islam , there is surprisingly no book for a popular audience about Islam as a religion, let alone one by an author from an Islamic background. No God But God fills that gap. What is the essence of this ancient faith? Is it a religion of peace or of war? How does Allah differ from the God of Jews and Christians? Can an Islamic state be founded on democratic values such as pluralism and human rights? In No god but God , challenging the ‘clash of civilisations’ mentality that has distorted out view of Islam, Aslan explains the faith in all its complexity, beauty and compassion. (20040315)

因为一个人而去读的一本书。
评分在这个非常时刻,我真心希望我的朋友在了解伊斯兰的基础上去反对恐怖暴力。这本书终于读完了最后的章节,眼睛很酸爽。
评分因为一个人而去读的一本书。
评分前半本正本清源,很好的历史读本。穆罕默德在麦地那所展望的改革,逊尼和什叶的分歧,理性主义与传统主义的神学争论,生动而清晰。最后说起现代伊斯兰世界诸国的意识形态分歧,认为当今世界争论本质是伊斯兰世界的争执,西方只是旁观者。Aslan眼中的先知教诲的本质正是多元主义,是民主的根基。
