A Better (Best?) Book On Islam
Spencer, Robert
The Politically Incorrect Guide To Islam (And The Crusades)
Regnery Publishing, Inc.; Washinton, D.C.
Copyright 2005; Library of Congress cateloging in process; No ISBN given.
I cannot praise this book enough for its: Research base of Muslim, Christian and other reliable sources; Its references to various other books and its quotes from the best thinkers of our civilization; The clarity and lucidity of the text; Its close attention to every aspect of Islam over its 1400-plus years of conflict with every other thought system in our world; The internal structure of the sects and legal systems of Islam, with special atttention to the problem of conflicts within the text of the Koran; And, most specially, the application of all of the above to today's world.
Although the section on the Crusades is not quite as good as that on Islam, it is still worth reading to "seriously" dispell the myths and violent falsehoods all too commonly put forth about the motives and behaviors of the Crusaders.
No person having any authority in our world should not read this work before dealing with Islam on any level.
