This updated edition addresses the events of the past decade in a new preface and final chapter, analysing how they have influenced Islam's position in modern culture. Aslan explores what the popular demonstrations pushing for democracy in the Middle East mean for the future of Islam in the region, how the internet and social media have impacted Islam's evolution, and how the war on terror and Osama bin Laden's death have altered the geo-political balance of power in the Middle East. He also provides an update of the contemporary Muslim women's movement, a discussion about the controversy over veiling in Europe, an in-depth history of Jihadism, and a look at how Muslims living in North America and Europe are changing the face of Islam. Timely and persuasive, No god but God is an elegantly written account that explains this magnificent yet misunderstood faith.
