Abstract

One of the greatest threats to Islam is not only the divergence created by differences between the various denominations, but also discrepancies within each denomination. How different strains of Islam can come together, in the process bettering themselves and the communities at large, is the theme of this book. Tallal Alie Turfe, who work has been published in several languages, points the way for Muslims to regain their original path by recapturing the Islamic dream of unity that motivated the Prophet Mohammad. Turfe argues for a grassroots activism that begins with the individual and expands into the family and the community. The author brings a wealth of experience to his argument, including work as a management consultant for Fortune 500 companies seeking a global presence, and his leadership role in the Greater Detroit Interfaith Round Table, helping to build bridges between various religious faiths and ethnic groups.
