Oral presentaion about Islam in Afghanistan together with other religions - some bibliography

I thought it'd be nice to put up some of the most general resources we used to make our oral presentation. So here you go.

CIA, The World Factbook - List of several different facts on Afghanistan, which includes religion.

Search Quran - Online Quran, where you can either read the different books or search for specific topics.

Religion Facts - One of my personal favorites. This website has pretty much everything you may need or want to know about any religion covered, and all presented in a very objective way too. You have a list of religions organized alphabetically, a few of the most controversial and discussed topics, comparisons between religions, etc.

Islamic Web - Filled with useful information and resources.

IslamiCity.com - "IslamiCity’s mission is to share with the world an understanding of Islam and Muslims and promote peace, justice and harmony for all people. [...] It provides a non-sectarian, comprehensive and holistic view of Islam and Muslims to a global audience." An interesting site about Islam. It's clearly very biased, but it also gives you a nice look into the culture and mentality that goes on behind Islam.



By Dr. Zakir Naik, a series of 24 videos (I admit I didn't watch all of them) about general misconceptions people have on Islam, together with some general notions of the religion. Again, somewhat biased, but to be honest, a lot more factual and reasonable than I first thought it'd be. Worth to watch.
