reviewed Hallaj: Mystic and Martyr on February 18, 2020 Hallaj: Mystic and Martyr
I bought this book because after reading the Qur'an, I decided Muhammad was a narcissistic, vindictive, horny old man, not a holy prophet. The whole appeal behind Islam seemed to be "if you join us, then we promise not to attack you, steal your stuff, and rape your women. But you have to help us do that to people who are NOT part of Islam, and we will share around the spoils and the plunder." In a part of the world where the main way to get ahead was to steal other people's stuff, this was probably really appealing.
I wanted to learn more about a guy who could come up with this plan, wantonly murder and plunder, have as many wives as he wanted, and get all kinds of people to follow him for millenia.
Unfortunately, this book lost all credibility after the first 10 grammar mistakes, and sentence fragments. I understand the author is probably not a native speaker. So get yourself an editor/proofreader.
The writing style is disorganized. Paragraphs consist of a bunch of sentences thrown together willy-nilly. The "present some facts then ask a question then write as though the answer is obvious" writing style just does not do it for me.
