What Does Islam Mean in Today's World?

Although relatively unknown in the West, Islam has been forcefully brought to the public's attention by the acts and threats of the "Islamic terrorists." As a result, the question is repeatedly asked: "What kind of religion is this?" Stoddart argues that in spite of appearances, Muslims are in fact allies with people of other faiths; they have common enemies and they are united in their opposition to all kinds of modern errors and immoralities, including materialism and secularism.
