Are we on the verge of an all-out war between the West and 1.3 billion
Muslims? When the media searches for an answer to that question, they
usually overlook the actual views of the world's Muslims.
Who Speaks for Islam? is about this silenced majority. This book is
the product of the Gallup World Poll's massive multiyear research study.
As part of this groundbreaking project, Gallup conducted tens of
thousands of interviews with residents of more than 35 nations that are
predominantly Muslim or have significant Muslim populations.
Gallup posed questions that are on the minds of millions: Is Islam to
blame for terrorism? Why is there so much anti-Americanism in the Muslim
world? Who are the extremists? Where are the moderates? What do Muslim
women really want?
Grounded in Gallup World Poll data, not in contentious rhetoric, Who
Speaks for Islam? brings data-driven evidence -- the voices of a
billion Muslims, not those of individual "experts" or "extremists" -- to
one of the most heated and consequential debates of our time.
