Customer Reviews
Thoughtful, knowledgeable and realistic - Rated I read this book a few years ago and was moved to add my review here after reading the other critiques. What I liked most about the book was its realism. The author does not buy into the anti-Muslim paranoia but is also very clear-headed about what political groups claiming to operate in the name of religion can achieve. Read this book if you are worried about rising religious zealotry all over the world, but are also unhappy with the popular but unfounded analyses of "civilizations in conflict" and "the next enemy". Wrong, but interesting nonetheless. - Rated I'm a Muslim, too, but I think the book is very good. That's not to say that I agree with the author (indeed, I think that most of his conclusions are wrong), but the book is very well-written, well-argued, and well-researched. It is the most cogent of the many hostile critiques that are now available. Though I would recommend taking the author's arguments with a grain of salt (be sure to read something from the other side, too!), the book is certainly worth reading. Non-Sense! - Rated I hate it when non- Muslims speak from their imagination about Islam instead of considering what it may be like!
