Title: Clearest book on Islam
Product review: "No God but God" by Reza Aslan, is the best, most even treatment of Islam that I have read. He presents the background, the origins, and the developments very clearly. He is able to see both sides of the current unrest and and terrorism in the Middle East. My only negative is that the history of the leaders after Muhammad gets rather tedious. He discusses the major sects and some of the more recent fundamentalist ones in a way that is understandable. One of the nice features is showing the difficulties of translating the Qur'an into other languages, and why these translations can not be considered the Qur'an.
