Black God. The Afroasiatic Roots of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim Religions
A comparative study of the Afroasiatic traditional religions of northern Africa and Arabia. The author argues that there is a common Afroasiatic language in those regions, so is there a common family of religions. He compares traditions as diverse as those in Yemen and Nigeria

Imaginary Muslims: The Uwaysi Sufis of Central Asia
The Uwaysis are Muslim mystics who look for instruction from the spirit of the dead or physically absent person. They take their name from Uways, a contemporary of the prophet Mohammad who is reputed to have communicated with him by telepathy.

The pair of Rābicas corresponds to various pairs of Marys. A sixteenth-century collecti…
Islam and the Religions of Iran in the Encyclopedia of Religion
In the Encyclopedia of Religion the articles on Islam and the religions of Iran prompt very different reactions. On the Islamic side a third are good, a third bad, and the rest either of indifferent quality or merely straightforward, as is natural in a work of reference. But not only are the bad articles extremely misleading: they are cast in a framework which cannot fail to produce a seriously distorted overall perspective. For the religions of …
