A comprehensive and profound look at one of the world's most influential religions. For centuries, ignorance and misinformation have created a distorted view of Islam in the Western imagination. This essay invites us to break with preconceived ideas about a religion reduced to its most radical forms, revealing its cultural richness and how it has shaped civilizations, driven philosophical thought, and contributed decisively to the development of art, science, and politics. Renowned religious expert Karen Armstrong offers a concise history of Islam, analyzing the fundamental events that have marked its evolution, from its expansion across the Mediterranean and Asia to the origins of the Sunni-Shia divide and the devastating effect of the Crusades.
