About this listen

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, there has been an overwhelming demand for information about Islam, and recent events - the war in Iraq, terrorist attacks both failed and successful, debates throughout Europe over Islamic dress, and many others - have raised new questions in the minds of policymakers and the general public. This newly updated edition of What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam is the best single source for clearly presented, objective information about these new developments, and for answers to questions about the origin and traditions of Islam. Editor of The Oxford Encyclopedia of Modern Islam and The Oxford History of Islam, and author of The Future of Islam and many other acclaimed works, John L. Esposito is one of America's leading authorities on Islam. This brief audiobook remains the first place to look for up-to-date information on the faith, customs, and political beliefs of the more than one billion people who call themselves Muslims.

Good for insomnia

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Neil Shah's reading voice is drone-like, the text itself is not at all what I expected. I wanted to gain an understanding of Islam to be able to draw comparisons, to understand why the world is the way it is (e.g. extremist views on one side vs. extremist views on another side). None of this is gleaned. I tried to get on with this book several times, but finally gave up. Its just so dull, dull, dull, dull, dull. Zzzzz.
