Summary: If you only want one book on Islam then buy this one
Review: Seyyed Hossein Nasr covers just about everything in this book. He deals with the exoteric, the esoteric, Shiism and Sunnism, whether or not suicide bombers are martyrs, why Islam appears to have been hijacked by extremists but most importantly how beautiful Islam really is and how tolerant the majority of Muslims are. He writes of Islamic History and corrects common misconceptions about how Islam was spread. Islam is an authentic spiritual path of many dimensions and on many levels and this book really does it justice. The writing style is compelling, I just didn't want to put it down and when I got to the end I wanted to read it again.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This book is just what the world in general, and the issue of Islam in particular, really needs: a sane, unbiased, well-written and well-researched book about Islam, written by a serious Muslim writer, and writter _after_ the 9-11 attack. It's also a great introduction to Islam in general.

Summary: 150 9/11-anniversary books got it wrong - but not this one!
Review: This book is the most widely commanding and compelling counter argument to the vicious slander of Islam's true and good nature. It took me some time to ponder through the implications of all the deep insights beautifully laid out. Many of the negative reviews repeat kindergarten criticisms and lies about Islam that are completely covered by the author, proving that these people didn't read the book enough. Hard to beleive that after all the protection of persecuted Christians and Jews afforded by magnaminous Muslim rulers throughout history, now this spite? Hate encourages the turning of the blind eye and deaf ear, but knowledge and truthfullness bears the surprising fruit of mutual goodwill. If Christians forget that the Inquisition, the Nazi holacaust, and the Nagasaki episodes occurred within the Christian world of influence, know that Muslims can be thankful of that, can look with pity, and can hold out a word of encourgement. Grow up.

Summary: Believe that more than hate binds the Muslim community
Review: Too many Christians fall into the trap of believing their own press when it comes to other religions. Having a dialogue with other faiths is much harder, particularly on your own beliefs, when you set aside your own "experts" and entertain the beliefs of others from within their own community. I think this is the heart of real dialogue. For American Christians, Nasr's book is a must-read if you wish to have the slightest insight into what Islam is really about. I found much to build on with Muslims and look forward to learning more about this faith.
