Sumario:Are Muslims Distinctive? represents the first major scientific effort to assess how Muslims and non-Muslims differ--and do not differ--in the contemporary world. Using rigorous methods and data drawn from around the globe, M. Steven Fish reveals that in some areas Muslims and non-Muslims differ less than is commonly imagined.

Yet there are differences: Gender inequality is more severe among Muslims, Muslims are unusually averse to homosexuality and other controversi.
