John L. Esposito is University Professor, Professor of Religion and International Affairs and of Islamic Studies at Georgetown University. He is the author or editor of more than 45 books, including What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam and The Future of Islam and is Editor in Chief of Oxford Islamic Studies Online.
"An excellent primer on all aspects of Islam. The
question-and-answer-format allows readers to skip ahead to areas
that interest them, including hot-button issues such as 'Why are
Muslims so violent?' or 'Why do Muslim women wear veils and long
garments?' In his answers, which are anywhere from a paragraph to
several pages long, Esposito elegantly educates the reader through
what the Quran said, how Muslims are influenced by their local
cultures, and how the
unique politics of Islamic countries affect Muslims'
views."--Publishers Weekly
