  • "Reza Aslan erzählt in diesem brillant geschriebenen Buch die Geschichte des muslimischen Glaubens vom Propheten Muhammad bis zur Gegenwart. Dabei gelingt es ihm meisterhaft, den Leser von der ersten Seite an zu fesseln. Treffende Geschichten, Beispiele und Portraits vermitteln einen höchst lebendigen Eindruck von der ersten muslimischen Gemeinde in Medina, den Rivalitäten zwischen Sunniten und Schiiten oder der islamischen Mystik. Aber das Buch ist mehr als ein anschaulicher historischer Überblick: Aslan erklärt, warum der Islam gegenwärtig zwischen Traditionalisten und Reformern gespalten ist, und tritt für eine islamische Aufklärung ein.

  • ""Though it is the fastest-growing religion in the world, Islam remains shrouded in ignorance and fear. 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? A scholar of comparative religions, Reza Aslan has earned international acclaim for the passion and clarity he has brought to these questions. In No god but God, challenging the "clash of civilizations" mentality that has distorted our view of Islam, Aslan explains this faith in all its complexity, beauty, and compassion."--BOOK JACKET."
