Between Jihad and Salaam: Profiles in Islam

By Joyce M. Davis

Book Overview

Journalist Joyce Davis adopted the traditional dress of Islamic women in order to gain access to a range of Islamic leaders normally off limits to the press. In more than a dozen interviews with the elite of the Muslim world, she reveals extremes in opinion. Includes interviews with Sudan's Hassan al Turabi, often described as the new Ayatollah; Muntassir al Zayat, spokesman for Al Gamaa and al Jihad, responsible for much of the violence in Egypt; and Abida Hussain, Pakistan's former ambassador to the US.
