Book about Islam

As I said in my presentation, I visited Arabic countries. So I am really interested in Islam, I started reading some books related with Islam and Muslim.
This is the book that I have just finished reading.


This book was written by Akira Ikegami. Roughly speaking, he explains about Islam, Islamic fundamentalism, the problem between Israel and Arabic countries, the Gulf war and so on in this book.
I am sure that most Japanese have bad image of Islam. I think it is because Japanese do not know about Islam well and Muslims are unfamiliar people for Japanese. So I recommend that Japanese people read books like this to know Islam.
Before visiting middle east countries, I was not interested in any religion at all. But when I went there, I felt religion and daily life or politics were closely related more than Japanese expected. So, I am sure that the more we understand religion, the better we understand each person.

  1. I'm really interested in religion.
    I'm a Christian, but I want to know other religions, not only Christianity.
    So I want to read books like you recommended.
