Milestones 16 reviews Sayed Qutb
Islamic Book Service,India, 2006
Insightful text
One could easily argue that Sayyid Qutb's 1950s era treatise "Milestones" is the most influential and historically far-reaching Islamic text written in the past century. Qutb's work - and "Milestones" above all else - created the philosophical foundation upon which Al Qaeda and other Islamic ...

Religion of Peace?: Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't 58 reviews Robert Spencer
Regnery Publishing, 2007
The Work of a True Scholar in Islam.
+ Sobering and timely + Yeah, Right!
Don't listen to the reviewers who say Robert Spencer is not knowledgeable enough about Islam. He could teach quite a few Muslims about their own books and history, I have studied it deeply for seven years myself.
Also bear in mind the doctrine of Al-Taqiyya and Kithman or kitman, which began as ...

What the Koran Really Says: Language, Text, and Commentary 31 reviews
Prometheus Books, 2002
the koran really is garbage and he says it like it is!
+ The West's Truth + Whingers and whiners
The koran is the most violent, disgusting pieces of garbage ever written by lunatics who were child molesters, caravan raiders, murderers and bandits. Islam, is a fanatical, cult-like belief that doesn't allow anyone to convert out and yet forces people in. Ibn Warraq, like myself, a former muslim, ...

The War for Muslim Minds: Islam and the West 10 reviews Gilles Kepel
Belknap Press, 2006
Insights on Islam
+ Good book, despite what some say..................
Gilles Kepel provides an insightful, European perspective on relations between the West and Islam. As the title suggests, he does not see the two locked in intractable conflict. Muslims, like the West, are divided. The interests of the Saudi government are separate from those of the Wahhabite ...

Important for understanding 9/11/2001
+ A French look at Islamism + Jihad: Murderers, Not Martyrs!
To understand the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, people need to read Gilles Kepel's account of Islamist jihadism. Kepel suggests that the Islamist jihadist movement worldwide was running out of steam prior to the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.
Thus we ...

Religion of Peace?: Islam's War Against the World 19 reviews Gregory M. Davis
World Ahead Publishing, 2006
A good beginners guide to learning true nature of Islam
+ Davis hits a bulls-eye with this book + Scared the ghost out of my body
Gregory Davis has written a book that will hopefully dispel the most common misperception of Islam as a religion of peace. In no way does Davis proclaim all Muslims are violent or fundamental but he does detail the struggle between one set of values and another and how Islam is believed by Muslims ...

Oddly enough, I'm not surprised at the obscene amount of negative feedback on here. It's almost exactly what I expected. I particularly enjoyed one reader's saying that "She's just the tool of Zionists and Christian fundamentalists in an attempt to discredit Islam!" LOL.
