Bridge to Light

by Kathleen St. Onge

Addressed to Muslims in western societies and to non-Muslims interested in learning about the religion, this portrait of contemporary Islam uses simple terms to show how Islam crosses boundaries of language and culture. Arguing that it has relevant answers for problems in industrial societies, the book describes the moral code of the Qur'an as humane and rational and emphasizes the historical bridges that connect Islam to Judaism and Christianity. For practicing Muslims, the book advises on how best to navigate western culture without compromising traditional values.

i have always love article.
in between bridge of light and student life, the writer's ability of introducing Islam in a very comparative way is so soothing. its like having a real discussion with your friend in preparation on a debate against some issues. the selective view portrayed by western media on Islam is sometimes so confusing.
