2,500 entries
Designed for readers with little or no [[knowledge]] of [[Islam]], the ''Oxford Dictionary of Islam'' provides vividly-written, up-to-date, and [[authoritative]] entries. The Dictionary [[focus]]es primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries, providing a highly informative look at the religious, political, and social spheres of the modern Islamic world. There are entries on topics of current interest such as terrorism and the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, the PLO and HAMAS, but the coverage also includes [[biographical]] profiles, and entries covering major political [[movements]], militant groups, religious sects terms from Islamic [[law]], [[culture]] and [[religion]], key historical events, and important landmarks. A series of entries look at Islam in individual nations, and there are discussions of Islamic views on contemporary issues.
