Living in days when Islam appears to be looming larger in many Westerners' experience and perhaps more significantly in their fears, it is vital that we becmoe as well informed as possible from firm factual basis rather than an emotional basis. It was for this reason that I purchased this book.
I found the book first of all to be easy to read. I also found the manner of presentation of the material to be reasonably objective. It, in my opinion, was done in a way that enabled someone with a contrary view to the author to examine critically the reasons for his conclusions.
Without saying what my conclusions are, I recommend this book to those who are enquiring into the beliefs and nature of Islam.
