Based on the BBC radio series "What do Muslims Believe?"this book draws on interviews with Muslims across the broad spectrum of Islam. These voices respond to criticisms of and questions about Islam that are given wide currency in the West, where Muslims are often dismissed as intolerant, fundamentalist and fanatical. Concentrating on popular and major misunderstandings about Islam, Professor Bowker's interviewees - who include leading Muslim thinkers - address such issues as the interpretation of the Koran, penalties for theft and adultery, the concept of holy war, the role of women, and the scope of Islamic education.
