Islam Revealed A Christian Arab's View Of Islam

Rating:
Summary: Eye-Opening
Review: This book succeeds at very carefully and with great detail, explaining the foundational teaching of Islam and it's founder Muhammed. I found it astounding to learn when all the facts are presented.....that Muhammed was not divinely inspired by Allah or any other God..but rather copied and re-wrote/phrased written works and teachings (often incorrectly) from a multitude of other people/religions.....some that were even considered heretical like the Nestorians. Muhammed's work the Quran is a very mixed up confusing book when read in English and as the author keenly points out..contradicts itself so repeatedly it is hard to fathom. If Muslim scholars must overlook all the grandiose inconsistencies themselves...it is no wonder that Islam does not prize it's followers to intellectually study the Quaran...but rather only rewards memorizing it. After reading this book one can conclude that Muhammed started out with good intentions.....to steer the pagan Arab world away from all their idol worship in that day...but along the way...he allowed himself to become one. Most might believe that Islam grows based on people choosing to convert by their own choice. After reading this book......it should be evident to all....that Muhammed shed blood profusely again and again to force his beliefs on his own Arab neighbors...and surrounding countries to impart fear with his choose Islam or die tactics. Many of his followers today are still advancing their cause with the same barbaric methods their founder employed so vigilantly back then. You will walk away from this book well informed..provoked and somewhat disappointed to think human beings are buying into this belief system called Islam that is so effective in advancing the cause of religious intolerance in society while propogating hate, superiority, prejudice and abuse toward women in our world. Terrorists are not radical Muslims....but those who take their faith in Allah's Muhammed from inactive to active ...attempting to live the life Muhammed taught his followers so long ago.
