The revised and updated edition of 'What is Islam?' is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the Muslim religion. Chris Horrie and Peter Chippindale invite the reader on a journey through a fascinating world, clarifying the basic principles of Koranic law and the origins of religion. It reviews the main events in its history, describes the most prominent Islamic sects and their development in the 20th and early 21st centuries, and offers a detailed exposition of Islamic countries, including the republics that emerged from the break-up of the former USSR. In this edition, the authors dedicate a special section to the clash between Islamic and Western civilizations, analyzing what has happened since 1989 to 2003, completing and improving historical data and opening new sections dedicated to Chechnya or Central Asia.
