Description: Literature abounds with books on Islam. This book by Haïdar Bammate, a 20th century Muslim thinker fighting for the independence of the Caucasus annexed by the USSR, fundamentally stands out from the approach of current Western writers. Written by a contemporary scholar, whose knowledge is deep and solid in the most varied subjects, the fruit of a lifetime of study and struggle, it clearly exposes a civilization and a religion which was for several centuries the scientific reference and intellectual world, and which continues, today, to be the center of interest of many debates. All aspects of Islam: doctrine, expansion, civilization, science, philosophy
