As a result of world events over the past few years, Islam has entered our consciousness in an unprecedented way. The Qur'ān, guiding text for over one billion Muslims, is being looked to for answers to questions like: does the Qur'ān promote peace and harmony or discord and conflict, does it contribute to pluralism or exclusivism, is its message spiritual or fanatical?
