The overwhelming majority of these works go to great lengths to paint Islam in an exceptionally favorable light, distancing this \"religion of peace\" from the actions of its adherents who perpetrated the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In fact, conventional wisdom has clearly embraced the notion that Islamic extremists like Usama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organization have \"hijacked\" Islam by subverting its tenets and twisting them into an excuse to wage war on Jews, Christians, and any other group they deem an adversary. However, even a casual reading of Islam's sacred texts demonstrates that many of the religious convictions that drive bin Laden and his fellow jihadists are rooted in Islamic law and tradition. Contrary to popular belief, Islam is not a monolithic institution. Individual Muslims and religious leaders interpret the Koran and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
