Islam

We seem to be gathering quite a few things about Islam as there is a Ministry here that sets up stalls on a regular basis to communicate the masses. They aren't out there trying to convert people, rather it simply seems to be an exercise in education. We have been given a few books and booklets since our arrival including a English translation of the Qur'an. Anyway the best place I have found to get a basic overview of Islam is the Wikipedia page so I have put a link in the post title above. Being in an Islamic country it is helpful to have a basic understanding of what unerpins the culture and society.
