Islam and Democracy

Political Science Professor Sophia Mrouri led the discussion on the question of "is Islam compatible with the principles of Democracy"  She first outlined the tenets of Islam.  Like other religions, it becomes a review of texts that has been translated over centuries.  Understanding Islam is a struggle for many Americans.  Professor Mrouri suggested that we read the book titled Unholy War: Terror in the Name of Islam before our next class session on April 1st at 1:30.  Several copies of the book is available through the Harris County Library System....or you can order it from Amazon or other book stores.
