Unveiling the Authors' Bias
This book is typical of books on Islam. It is written by people who wish to disparage a religion by twisting words and phrases and events in its history with a single purpose: to create a spectre, an enemy, to be despised "reflexively", rather than through diligent inquiry. It feeds on the cathartic need of Americans to hate an enemy following the tragic events of 9/11. A truly sad motive for writing a book.
If this book is your only source on Islam then you will be easily misled by the authors into accepting absurd notions. For instance, Muslim women are excluded from doing anything without their husbands; Muslim men are motivated by sex with as many women as possible; Islam is a belligerent religion that derides other religions and calls for the extermination of non-believers. ...

An agenda piece...
I read this book after it was recommended to me by a pastor at a local church. I am a rather prolific reader of theology, so it didn't take long to see that this was neither a theologically sound or scholarly look at Islam.

My advice for evangelicals...stick to works by reputable scholars and investigate their background and their agenda before you buy into what they are saying. I recommend ...

Ludicrous
This book is filled with half-truths it's quite sickening to anyone who knows what real Islam is like. The author's knowledge about Islam ranks close to my knowledge about nuclear physics: practically none. It's sad that instead of trying ot emphasize the similarities between Islam and Christianity (which are numerous) the author tries extremely hard (though he fails miserably) to show that Islam and Christianity (which worship the same God-Allah is Arabic for God, used by Arab Christians and Jews BTW) are not related in any way. The author idiotically attacks a few 'bad apples' that abuse Islam or misapply it, and then he sticks these accusations to Islam. It's like saying Christianity is an evil religion because there are criminals and war mongerers who are Christian. It's a very childish 'argument' ...
