Islamophobia and Islamophilia, abuses and misinterpretations of the religious sentiment of Muslims, and, correspondingly, extreme behaviors resulting from the one-dimensional application of sharia (Islamic law) are negative factors.

However, apart from the negative events and the hardcore-sick expressions of Islam, there are other dimensions, as well as other Islamic - perhaps less known - interpretations and behaviors that can overturn stereotypical, prejudiced perceptions and change the distorted image of the Other, mainly due to ignorance.

This different reality is attempted to be highlighted by this book, which explores with a calm, objective, and scientific perspective some less known but particularly significant dimensions of Islam. Avoiding taking on the role of both critic and apologist, it seeks to become a conscious interlocutor with the religion of Islam.
