Title: Is This a Hateful Book by a One-sided Islamophobe? You bet!
Product review: This light, breezy and easy-to-read introduction to Islam is a shocking and dishonest distortion of Islamic culture and history. The author relies upon selections from serious and far-from-serious books on Islam to present an unbalanced and devastatingly hateful image of Muslims. It's not that there are no grains of truth to Mr. Spencer's book, but they come packaged with half-truths, misrepresentations and an astonishing amount of venom. If you are looking for a book to close your mind and succumb to hatred, then seek no further! However, if you want to rise to the challenge of understanding the different cultures in our sadly battered world, then give this vicious polemic a miss. Remember: The Peacemaker Never Lost. And Mr. Spencer is not a peacemaker.P.S. Anyone with an ounce of Christian values will want to read Steve Bell's Grace for Muslims?: The Journey from Fear to Faith after this dreadful dirge.
