I am very glad to see that someone has taken on this issue, given the misleading, fear-mongering propaganda being desseminated about Muslims, particulary since September 11, 2001.
To me, his book offers the possibility of a voice of reason, which I welcome. I have already ordered my paperback copy. The segments I've read remind me of many of the points we've covered here on the Wcafe...

I suspect the Islamic community has more to fear from Western secularism than we have to fear from them. Thank you for finding and posting this information.

Thanks for that bit of sanity, especially considering some of the hatred that currently being spread around WC, by a few individuals, in God's name of course

Thanks for this Mof5. When I was in Ottawa I got to visit my Muslim friend who has been in Canada for about 40 years. She was going to be celebrating the end of Ramadan (sp) with her family on the 19th. I wondered how all this anti-Muslim sentiment has affected her and her family.
I think I will have to add this to my list of books to read....and when I am done, I will pass it along to my other friend who believes Muslims are taking over the world.....

I ordered a copy through my local bookstore and it should be in within a week. It seems like it might be worth running "book study" thread here on Wcafe but will bring that to the list when I've had a look.
