With
1.4 billion practicing Muslims in the world it is necessary for all to
better understand the culture and belief system. In The Restless Wind
and Shifting Sands, author and Islamic scholar Harry J. Sweeney explains
the intricacies and tenets of Islam. The educational discourse provides
insight into the religion practiced by one out of five people
worldwide.
The
Restless Wind and Shifting Sands explores the Islamic culture through a
series of fictionalized private conversations between three friends—Modi, Mani, and Radi—who
each represents the moderate, mainstream, and radical factions. Through
their daily talks, the friends tackle all phases of Muslim life
including arranged marriages, Islamic law, female genital mutilation,
predestination, honor killing, Palestine, shariah, and the Qur’an.
The
men discuss how each belief drives Islamic culture and relations with
non-believers. Filled with a wealth of information, the exchanges
between friends seek to impart a better understanding of Islam and the
challenges it poses for Western civilization.
The
Restless Wind and Shifting Sands communicates that the Islamic religion
can contain its fundamentalist elements and work toward a peaceful
future.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
