The Second Message of Islam"The Second Message of Islam is the work of the respected Sudanese religious leader Mahmoud Mohamed Taha.

This change would permit a new era of Islamic jurisprudence to begin, one allowing for civil, political, and economic equality for all, regardless of sex or religious faith." --Back cover. |
