Whole Earth Review, Winter 1985

“The original idea behind this Special Section was to present material on Islam that could provide a glimpse of its attractions. What is it about this major world religion that motivates such fervent enthusiasm among some adherents? In search of insights we contacted people — readers of WER, in many cases — who had converted to Islam or spent years in its orbit and asked them to help us see Islam through their eyes. Most other media are primed to present Islam as a Problem; we were curious about Islam as a Solution.”
