The debate on Islam is always a polemic one: salafism, sharia, women’s rights, Boko Haram, the IS – we have an opinion on all of them. But do we really know what’s hiding behind these phenomena? Alexander Flores provides an antidote to our lack of knowledge by dedicating this book to the facts.


Flores describes the modernism that, at the beginning of the 20th century, was supposed to make an opening of Islamic worldview possible; a sharia that hadn’t been draconic »divine law« for many years, but provided orientation for an Islamic way of life. And he explains how the Qur'an could be instrumentalized with its many different readings and so made possible those radicalisations that we are affected by today more so than ever.
