Everything you should know about Islam. The debate surrounding Islam is always polemical: Salafism, Sharia, women's rights, Boko Haram, ISIS - we have an opinion on all of it. But do we really know what lies behind these phenomena? Alexander Flores can provide clarity, as he focuses on the facts. Flores describes a modernism that was meant to allow for a worldview opening in Islam at the beginning of the 20th century; a Sharia that, for a long time, was not a draconian "divine law," but rather a guideline for an Islamic way of life. He also explains how the Quran, with its various interpretations, could be instrumentalized, leading to radicalizations that we are experiencing more than ever today.
