A Thinking Person’s Guide to Islam
A Thinking Person’s Guide to Islam

by Prince Ghazi Bin Muhammad

The world is at a crossroads today. A tiny minority of Muslims seems to be bent on hijacking the religion of Islam and bringing it into perpetual conflict with the rest of the world. Because of their actions, very few non-Muslims understand the real difference between Islam as it has always been, and the distorted perversions of Islam today. This book is an attempt to say what Islam actually is—and always was—as well as what it is not.
