Produktbeschreibung
An Iranian shocked by the violence of the country's theocratic rulers wishes he could go into the past to live the true Islam of Muhammad. He gets his wish and learns that the violence of the future is the result of the violence Muhammad used to impose his religion. He returns to present-day Iran, where he is taken to be the long-awaited Imam of Time, who is prophesied to lead Islam's conquest of the world. Though the ayatollahs believe he is the Imam of Time, his message is not what they expect. He rejects violence and instead preaches a unifying message of peace and religious tolerance that threatens the clerical rulers, who plot his downfall. In the end, he is executed. Though he dies, his message gives birth to something new.
Autorenporträt
F. W. Burleigh draws on an academic and investigative background to recreate the life of one of the most disruptive personalities in history. Following the destruction of the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, he undertook a line-by-line study of more than 20,000 pages of the original documents of Islam to bring forth this work. Based on solid scholarship, the book is written in a lively and thoroughly engaging style.
