Summary: Real information about Islam from an authoritative source!
Comment: Finally, some in-depth (and much needed) information on Islam, and it comes from an authoritative source.
Dr. Mark A. Gabriel has experienced Islam in its true form, and shares about his experiences in this outstanding book. He also speaks about the background of Islam, and as an ex-Muslim and former professor of Islamic history at Al-Azhar University, he knows his stuff. Al-Azhar University is known to be the foremost center of theology in Islam and the oldest continuously practicing university in the world.
This book shares some things about Islam that I have not encountered in my research on this religion; things that are not shared in the media in general, and again, it comes from a qualified authority on Islam. He also discusses why he converted from Islam to Christianity, and the horrorible persecution and attemps on his life which he experienced before coming to the US.
The documentation in this book is good, although I'd like to see it a little more specific, for example, when a hadith (narration about the life of the Prophet or of what he approved) is given, I'd like to see the book and volume number, instead of just the book. Other than that, I'm more than satisfied with the documentation.
The history Dr. Gabriel gives on Islam is detailed but definitely not boring, and it's not heavy reading either. He shows us how it all relates to us today, which is something I found very useful. I take the book with me nearly everywhere I go, to read and re-read. It's very useful information.
The information he presents on Christianity is representative of what Christianity is about and is accurate.
What most struck me about this book is the love he has for Muslims and his fellow countrymen. This isn't a book that bashes Muslims or Islam; it's a book that invites the reader to -fully- understand Islam and what the Qur'an really teaches in context. This is a definite must-have. Get ready to take lots of notes!

Summary: A true point of view
Comment: This book was written by a former Muslim professor of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt who taught Islamic history. This guy knows what he's talking about. Sure, there are other interpretations of Islam, but his is the only one that makes sense of why the Quran first says to love your non-Muslim brothers and then later says to convert the infidel (non-Muslims) or kill them. It also shows you just how insignificant woman are in the Islam religion. Lastly, it goes through Islamic history and the rise of terrorism and how it all connects to the Quran.
This is not a book of bigotry. This man sincerely wants to help Muslims find the right path, and not go on killing people. He believes the only way this will happen is if they turn away from Islam and convert to Christianity, because Christianity is a faith based on grace, hope and love. It's the complete opposite mindset of what Islam is. I agree.
If one does not find that Mr. Gabriel wants to help them become different and pure people by the end of this book, and stop terrorism, then the reader is the only one deceiving himself/herself. He's a kind and loving Christian man. It's just that he's telling it how it is with Islam, and some people aren't going to like it.
I recommend this book if all you've ever known about Islam is the Westernized point of view. This guy was a real Muslim, and an expert on the religion at that. He lived where Islam thrives and experienced it all first hand. So this book is worth the read.

Summary: The reviews I'm reading here are not the reviews...
Comment: You know what folks...
I'm reading the reviews about this book and I have to state that most of them are just a useless and senseless trash. These are not reviews. These are only unbalanced thoughts and opinions of people who hate Islam and seek every argument they may use against it. They say that fundamentalists are true Muslims and the others are just Westernized Muslims. But every stick has two endings and it sounds so stupidly like would the saying that: the fundamentalist Christians are the true Christians and the others are just watered-down followers of Jusus' religion. I am writing it because, truly, I cannot stand people who are seeking some arguments against others without any, even basic, knowledge of the topic. There are many religons in this world. Most of people, and especially fundamentalists, do not follow the religious regulations. They follow some kind of spiritual pathology. In fact, there is no evil religion, but there are evil people. That's the point of the question. If everybody was the follower of their religion then all those priests, rabbis and imams would have been completely unnecessary. But look, they have hands full of job... God allows so many religions to co-exist in our reality because, in fact, it is the specific kind of tolerance test for us. And, unfortunately, many of us do not pass it... God bless, whatever name you call Him...
