“Suleiman Mourad’s lucid guide to Islam’s origins and its imponderables is an instructive and non-polemical work that should be in the pocket of every Government minister, MP, journalist, editor and producer who might have to deal with Muslims, at home or overseas.”
—Times Literary Supplement
“The questions of Perry Anderson are as precise, concise and powerful and the replies of Suleiman Mourad are erudite, accessible and candid … Indispensable.”
—Le Monde
“The Mosaic of Islam is an excellent primer on the faith’s beginnings and its spread throughout the world … the text’s straightforward and plainspoken approach makes it the essential book to read about Islam, especially if one is only going to read one book on the subject.”
—Ron Jacobs, Counterpunch
“A fascinating conversation which demonstrates that Islam is not a monolith but an extremely complex mosaic.”
—Le Figaro
“A seminal guide to Islam.”
—The Morning Star
