Peter Awn, chairman of the Religion dept. at Columbia, strongly recomends
the Encyclopedia Islamacus.  He also said the Encyclopedia of Religion is
very good.  I haven't read either (too busy struggling through Rodinson's
_Muhammad_ and Denny's _Introduction to Islam_ - both good) but I trust
the expert.
