Islam and the Third Universal Theory - Mahmoud M. Ayoub - Bog

This volume, first published in 1987, was the first to examine in depth the religious thought of Colonel Müammar al-Qadhdhafi and its central place in his political, social and economic theories. The work is based on sources inaccessible except in the original Arabic. While drawn from Islamic concepts and sources, Qadhdhafi¿s religious views were original. His religious openness and universal view of Islam and other monotheistic religions in particular will be surprising to those familiar with only the image associated with him in the Western mind. This title is a useful source for students of both politics and Islamic studies.
