A Brief Guide to Islam: Faith, Religion, Politics

This was a fascinating read. I had initially read this book in college for a religion class, and I decided to re-read in a more focused way-the class was a moderate introduction to all the major religions of the world, of which Islam was a small portion.

I really enjoyed this read-it was preachy, or attempting to make any kind of case for the legitimacy of Islam-it simply presented facts in a clear way. The early chapters I found especially illuminating, as the book continued, it wandered into topics that I felt were too broad for the books purpose, and as a result, topics were so superficially covered that it was difficult to really digest the information provided.

The prose was clear, the book was not too emotional, and it did not feel like a textbook-this instead felt like a book for the masses to gain a little information about a largely misunderstood religion, as far the West is concerned.

I would recommend this book to any who are interested in learning about the facts of Islam, or those who have information from the media about what Islam as a religion is all about. Everybody could benefit to broaden their horizons with this book.
