Summary
E-book extra: "Civilizational Dialogue and the Islamic World" by Seyyed Hossein Nasr.As the specter of religious extremism has become a fact of life today, the temptation is great to allow the evil actions and perspectives of a minority to represent an entire tradition. In the case of Islam, there has been much recent confusion in the Western world centered on distorted portrayals of its core values. Born of ignorance, such confusion feeds the very problem at hand.
First line
At the heart of Islam stands the reality of God, the One, the Absolute and the Infinite, the Infinitely Good and All, the One Who is at once transcendent and imma, greater than all we can conceive or imagine, yet, as the Quran, the sacred scripture of Islam, attests, closer to us than our jugular vein.
