Summary of Stephen R. Prothero's God Is Not One - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Islam is often seen as a religion of terror, and for many Europeans and North Americans, that is all they know about it. But Islam is much more than that, and it should be seen as such. #2 Islam is the path of submission, and Muslims are submitters who seek peace in this life and the next by surrendering themselves to the one true God.
They do this first and foremost by prostrating themselves in prayer. #3 Muslims have heeded the call to prayer going out from mosques and minarets for more than a millennium. This invitation, the adhan, is usually done in Arabic because according to Muslims, it was in Arabic that God delivered his final revelation, the Quran, to his final prophet, Muhammad. #4 Islam is the second largest religion in the world, and it is followed by over one billion people, roughly one fifth of the world's population.
Islam is typically classified as a Western religion, but it predominates in Asian countries such as Indonesia, India, and Pakistan.
