Breathing in the Claims of Orientalism

About this book

This book examines a selection of Orientalist claims concerning Islam and the Qur'an and responds to the assumptions behind them. Its argument invites readers to compare how religions, legal systems and schools of thought address different dimensions of life, then to consider the comprehensiveness of the Islamic approach. Written as a work of religious advocacy and critique, it seeks to clarify the author's understanding of Islam's moral and social framework.
