Book
The history of Islam / Barry Rubin.
Islam is an international religion, and today there are about 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide. However, the origins of the religion are very much tied to the Arabian Peninsula, in what is today Saudi Arabia. The History of Islam describes the development of this major monotheistic religion during the seventh century and discusses the ways it spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula. The book also examines Islam today, discussing the issues and problems confronting Muslims in the 21st century.
