CHARTER FOR COMPASSION / WORLD

Karen Armstrong writes on matters of faith, politics and history for the Guardian newspaper in the UK and has covered everything from political inquiries into foreign affairs to the cult of medieval martyrs.

Most recently, she wrote about the ways in which the British Museum's new exhibition on the hajj - the pilgrimage Muslims around the world make to Mecca - has the power to shake prejudices about Islam.
