Islam Beyond Borders

Beschreibung

Assuming a central place in Muslim life, the Qur'an speaks of one community of the faith, the umma. Despite this, there is little agreement on its meaning, and political self-interest and sectarian differences continue to undermine pan-Islamic aspirations. This study explores the search for a unified Muslim world that is rarely, if ever, achieved.
