Udgivelsesår: 2002
In this informed, compelling exploration of Moslem beliefs and of the sectarian conflicts within the community, a Jewish historian paints a sympathetic portrait of mainstream Islam and exposes the centuries-old roots of Osama bin Laden's extremism. The difficult, protracted war against terrorism has raised unsettling questions about the nature of Islam and its influence on America's declared enemies. In "The Two Faces of Islam, Stephen Schwartz, who has devoted years to the study of Islam, explains its complex history and describes the profound philosophical and religious differences that distinguish traditional beliefs from the radical sects that have sprung up over the past fifteen hundred years. He focuses on Wahhabism, the puritanical sect to which Osama bin Laden belongs. Founded in the eighteenth century by a radical cleric, this intolerant "Islamo-fascist" sect became the official creed of the Saudi Arabian state and has been exported to Moslem countries from the Balkans to the Philippines, as well as to Islamic communities in Western Europe and the United States. By setting the current upheavals within an historical and religious context, Schwartz demonstrates that Osama bin Laden and his followers are not really fighting a war against America. Rather, they are engaged in a revolution within Islam itself-a movement that parallels the turmoil within Christianity during the sixteenth century. Schwartz not only exposes the collusion of the Saudi Arabian government in the spread of radical Islam (which makes them at best reluctant allies of the West), he shows that the majority of Moslems have little sympathy for the Wahhabis and that many openly denounce theirmotivations and goals. A riveting narrative that never smacks of propaganda, "The Two Faces of Islam is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand who we are fighting, what our enemies believe, and who our friends in the Moslem world really are.

Udgave: 1. udgave
Genre: historie_samfund
Sammendrag: Bogen argumenterer for, at der findes to fundamentalt forskellige udtryk for islam: en traditionel, pluralistisk og kulturelt rig retning og en streng, politiseret og wahhabistisk fortolkning med rødder i Saudi-Arabien. Schwartz gennemgår wahhabismens historiske udvikling, dens alliance med huset Saud og dens globale indflydelse, særligt i lyset af terrorangrebene den 11. september. Værket kombinerer politisk analyse, religionshistorie og samtidshistorie for at forklare, hvordan interne islamiske spændinger har formet Mellemøstens og verdens nyere historie.

Spørgsmål og svar
Er varen ny?
Orderly sælger gode varer fra folk, som ikke selv har tid, lyst eller mulighed for at gøre det. Vores varer er derfor typisk brugte og dermed billigere end nyt. Og så er de bedre for miljøet.
Hvordan vurderer I standen?
Vi vurderer varen ud fra synligt slid og det samlede indtryk. Vi tester ikke elektronik eller tæller brikkerne i et puslespil inden salg. Vi formidler salget mellem køber og sælger. Men er der problemer med en vare, finder vi altid en løsning - med eller uden sælger.
Jeg glemte en ting. Kan jeg tilføje til min ordre?
Ja, det kan du sagtens - helt indtil vi starter pakningen af din ordre. Du laver bare en ny ordre og vælger den eksisterende ordre som levering (hvor du normalt vælger GLS eller afhentning). I sjældne tilfælde kan det dog forlænge leveringstiden med en dag.
