Since 9/11, Islam and Muslims have occupied the center stage of global attention, unfortunately for negative reasons. This book makes an attempt to present interpretations derived from the Quran to concepts that have been clouded by misunderstandings. Several questions find refreshingly satisfying answers here, provoking deeper thought and reflection.

• How does Islam view other religions?  what does life mean for a true Muslim?
• Does the religion, that mean peace in its name, call for Jihad against non-muslims? when is Jihad allowed?
• Is Islam anti-Democracy? What is the Islamic stance toward human rights?
• In Islam, are women inferior to men?
• Does the Quran ask for blind faith? Does intellect find a place in religion?
