Do Islamic fundamentalists, or Muslims in general, hate modernity? Are terrorism and suicide attacks traditional Muslim forms of warfare? Do Muslims feel they have a religious duty to fight until the whole world worships as they do? The Muslim World attempts to answer some of these questions, providing readers with a firmer understanding of this subject and a basis for further research.

Examining Muslim communities around the world, this new resource introduces readers to the history, traditions, and great diversity among them. The comprehensive introduction explores Islam and its many manifestations today, the role the religion plays in believers' lives (especially its role in political life), the various groups that contend for the destiny of the Muslim world, and the many shades of Islamic fundamentalism and the political debate about it within the Muslim world. Chapter two focuses on the relationship between the Muslim world and the United States, and chapter three explores specific countries�including Indonesia, Algeria, and the United Arab Emirates�as well as the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

From the Inside Flap

This series is a vital resource for students wanting to learn more about important issues from a global perspective, as well as the history that has led up to their present state. Each volume contains three sections, beginning with an introduction that clearly defines the issue by outlining the global challenges involved and providing a brief history of the subject. The second section draws together significant U.S. and international primary source documents. The third section gathers useful research tools such as brief biographies of key international players, facts and figures, an annotated bibliography, and a list of relevant international organizations and agencies.

This is an important first-stop resource for high school and college students, school and public libraries, and general readers interested in timely, hot-button issues.

�Detailed case studies of the United States and several other countries or regions explore how a certain issue uniquely impacts society, as well as what strategies were formulated in response.
� Primary source documents include excerpts from newspaper articles, speeches, relevant treaties and other legal documents, and scientific reports.

"...an excellent resource for reports...Highly Recommended."
