Product Description:
In a post-9/11 world, many Americans conflate the mainstream Muslim majority with the beliefs and actions of an extremist minority. But what do the world’s Muslims think about the West, or about democracy, or about extremism itself? Who Speaks for Islam? spotlights this silenced majority. The book is the product of a mammoth six-year study in which the Gallup Organization conducted tens of thousands of hour-long, face-to-face interviews with residents of more than 35 predominantly Muslim nations — urban and rural, young and old, men and women, educated and illiterate. It asks the questions everyone is curious about: Why is the Muslim world so anti-American? Who are the extremists? Is democracy something Muslims really want? What do Muslim women want? The answers to these and other pertinent, provocative questions are provided not by experts, extremists, or talking heads, but by empirical evidence — the voices of a billion Muslims.

Two plus two equals four, sugar is sweet, and most Muslim don't want to slit the throats of unbelievers. My guess is that you needed neither this humble reviewer nor the Gallup Organization to convince you of those facts.

This book give a great insight into the versitality of muslim culture and traditions through out the world, in their own words. It is a balanced, statisitical review of what , as the title of the book implies, muslims actually say, millions of them all over the world including US, rather than a maginfied version of one event, totally hyped into a controversy by our powerful, sometimes "not so accurate" media. A book like this was long awaited by a moderately thinking mind like me, who knows the fundamentals ... Read More

This book summarizes the information gained from the Gallup World Poll's massive multiyear research study of the opinions of tens of thousands of Muslims in more than 35 countries. The information is presented clearly and succinctly, addressing the questions most frequently asked by Westerners unfamiliar with Islam. The authors appear to have no hidden agenda but simply present their findings. An appendix describes the methodology used. An excellent resource for a dangerous period of history.

In 1920s-30s, Palestinian Muslims committed massacre of Jews in Jewish land of Palestine murdering thousands of children and civilians.
