1.0 out of 5 stars Judge this book by its cover, December 9, 2005
By Zoopax (STL Missouri USA) - See all my reviews
Imagine a book sold to foreigners called "What You Need to Know About America & Americans" and on the cover it had a cowboy, a church, a playstation, a flag, a mcdonalds and an F15.

Your kneejerk reaction might be to think a few facts were omitted, particularly if the book was a scant 180 pages. You might think that there is a more complex history and culture than just the cowboy on the cover, right? You might be offended that someone wrapped up your country and put a big inaccurate label on it.

Same thing here.

My father spent summers with Cairo University's National Cancer Institute and being a bored foreigner I found myself hanging out with the locals. I learned a lot more about the people behind the "bad word" that has become Islam in recent years.

Engage these people in conversation and you'll find you have more in common than you have different. Lastly, if you decide to buy this book, don't do yourself a disservice by making this the only one.

4.0 out of 5 stars good introduction for Christians to learn about Islam, November 28, 2005
By Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
I agree with the other reviewers who criticize this book as being repititve and "bullet style" of writing. However, I found the repitition to be useful in helping me absorb some of the concepts of Islam. Most important to me was understanding why Muslims believe what they believe, and understanding what Muslims think about Christians and their understanding of Christian faith. Although some Muslims might be correct in criticizing some of the factual details in this book (I wouldn't know), I can say the book was not written in a hateful or unflattering way (except perhaps to some of the non-orthodox such as Louis Farrakhan). The author balances his criticism of Christians and Muslims in denouncing the hatred that has existed over the centuries. May we all learn more about each other and follow the greatest commandments, to love the Lord and to love our neighbors.

4.0 out of 5 stars very educational, March 20, 2006
By Jon Hood "Squinky" (Huntsville, AL USA) - See all my reviews
pros: This book does give a factual, educational account of Islam from a Christian viewpoint from a baptist preacher who spent years learning Islamic customs. No I am not baptist. As for the ones who say this is trying to capitalize on the post septermber 11 chaos, remember that this book was written and published more than a year BEFORE 9/11. This is a very good introduction to Islam and I highly recommend it.

cons: left me wanting a more in-depth analysis of Islam; some bullet-facts could have been expanded for easier and smoother reading
