In many circles, Islam today is seen as a dogmatic religion, rife with misogyny and homophobia. 

But the organized religion followed by more than two billion Muslims worldwide has become far removed from the loving guidelines outlined in the Quran.

Through a collection of essays, Compassiviste founder Ali Horriyat brings a fresh eye to this most sacred of texts, revealing hidden meanings, and truths that have become obstructed through translation issues, the passing of time, and the capitalist agenda of the Islamic organized religion.

What he brings to light is a timeless set of guidelines for living, infused with love and compassion for all.
