Negative Positive
Title: Worth reading
Review: A frequently heard opinion concerning Islam (from non-Muslims) is that Islam is a peace-loving religion and that a small minority of "fundamentalists" has perverted its teachings. That position is much harder to accept after reading this book and learning more about Islam from other sources. The religion does not seem to have undergone any reforms comparable to those of Christianity, nor is there any evident movement or path toward such reforms. The teachings are so absolutist that it's hard to be optimistic that its billion adherents can be integrated peacefully into the modern world. Children are taught to obey and to not think for themselves, and leaving the group can be a capital crime.
