Islam: The Facts was written as a response to the many questions that arose after September 11. It is appropriate for anyone seeking answers to questions about Islam. If you have ever wondered what the truth really is about so many of the issues that hit the headlines these days, such as why Muslim women wear the veil, what Muslim women's rights are, what exactly is Jihad, and what Muslims believe, this book is for you. "Skinner manages to convey all this in plain English that, despite the reference book context, comes from the heart - she deftly puts across the basic tenets of Islam while maintaining that crucial 'personal touch' that keeps the reader involved and engaged." - Paul Fontaine-Nikolov
