ISIS rocketed onto the world stage seemingly out of nowhere, beheading American hostages, bulldozing international borders, routing the American-trained Iraqi Army, and carving out a new state that rules eight million people and a territory larger than the United Kingdom. But who are they? Where did ISIS come from, and how did they rise to power in so little time? What is driving them - and how can they be stopped?

In The Race for Paradise, Paul M. Cobb offers a new history of the confrontations between Muslims and Franks we now call the "Crusades", one that emphasizes the diversity of Muslim experiences of the European holy war.

The Koran, the sacred text at the heart of the second-largest religion in the world, is regarded by Muslims as the exact word of God as revealed to the prophet Muhammad.

"Sal a combatir sea cual fuere tu condición. Contribuye a la causa de Allah con tus bienes y lucha" (sura 9:41). "Yihad" es una palabra árabe que significa simplemente lucha, pero se suele interpretar por Guerra Santa. Por desgracia, hoy, está en boca de todo el mundo en esta sangrienta acepción. Hace catorce siglos el islam nacía bañado en sangre y al día de hoy no parece que esto haya cambiado mucho.

In 1989, Francis Fukuyama famously announced the "end of history." The Berlin Wall had fallen; liberal democracy had won out. But what of illiberal democracy - the idea that popular majorities, working through the democratic process, might reject gender equality, religious freedoms, and other norms that Western democracies take for granted? Nowhere have such considerations become more relevant than in the Middle East, where the uprisings of 2011 swept the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups to power.

Muslim men are stereotyped as either oversexed Casanovas willing to die for 72 virgins in heaven or controlling, big-bearded husbands ready to rampage at the hint of dishonor. The truth is, there are millions of Muslim men trying to figure out the complicated terrain of love, sex, and relationships just like any other American man. In Salaam, Love, Ayesha Mattu and Nura Maznavi provide a space for American Muslim men to speak openly about their romantic lives, offering frank, funny, and insightful glimpses into their hearts—and bedrooms.

Immergersi nell'universo mentale musulmano per rintracciare i percorsi attraverso i quali la consapevolezza politica dell'Islam è maturata fornisce di quella civiltà un'immagine polivalente, assai sfaccettata e di certo lontana dagli stereotipi. È quanto fa l'audiolibro, che illustra "dall'interno" le implicazioni della politica nell'ambito della dottrina dello stato e del potere, della teologia e della storia islamica, in riferimento ai paradigmi della teologia politica e dell'utopia retrospettiva.

Uno de los mayores monoteísmos de la historia, con una historia llena de esplendor militar, artístico y científico y un presente convulso y turbulento: el Islam contado desde su origen. El Islam nace en el S. VII en la zona de Arabia y en la actualidad es la segunda religión más practicada del mundo con más de 1.300 millones de musulmanes. La historia de esta religión desde su nacimiento hasta ahora, es un convulso relato que alterna épocas de esplendor y hegemonía mundial en todos los órdenes, con otras de oscurantismo y fundamentalismo.

"Vous avez le droit de me poser les questions que vous voulez, de me faire les remarques que vous voulez, il n'y a pas de tabou ici." Depuis cinq ans, plusieurs fois par semaine, j'ai cet échange avec les spectateurs de la pièce que j'ai écrite, Djihad, qui tourne à travers toute la France, la Belgique et la Suisse, le plus souvent à l'initiative des professeurs de français. Dans des collèges, des lycées, des prisons, des salles des fêtes, je prolonge la représentation par un dialogue avec le public.

Chi sono oggi i musulmani? In che cosa si differenzia la loro tradizione religiosa rispetto a quella cristiana? Nel ripercorrere la storia, i principi del credo, i precetti del culto, sino alle forme e alle correnti del pensiero religioso islamico, l'audiolibro fa emergere le contraddizioni di un universo tutt'altro che monolitico. Un universo assai diversificato a seconda delle aree geografiche, oggi diviso tra modernizzazione e radicalismo, ma destinato a giocare un ruolo di primaria importanza.

Il 90% circa dei musulmani si riconosce nella tradizione religiosa sunnita, che rappresenta l'"ortodossia" rispetto alla corrente minoritaria sciita, sorta dalle lotte civili per la successione dopo la morte del Profeta. Oltre a delineare un quadro storico e dottrinale del sunnismo, il volume fa chiarezza sulle correnti che agitano il mondo sunnita contemporaneo, da quelle riformiste e moderate a quelle conservatrici e radicali, a quelle più estremiste che hanno rivendicato il ritorno al califfato tradizionale.
