Items related to Islam In A Globalized World
Islam is the world's fastest grow the second largest after Christianity. There are an estimated 1.57 billion followers of Islam spread across the globe accounting for one out of every four persons and representing diverse social and cultural traditions. Yet, surprisingly, little is known about them and their contribution to the communities they live in either as native citizens or immigrants. This lack of awareness, partly a result of paucity of writing the subject, has created an image of Islam and Muslims that is often grossly distorted. This volume, edited by Mushirul Hasan one of India's most distinguished historians and commentators seeks to fill this gap by bringing together a range of scholarly views on Islam in the context of a rapidly global zing world.
