What’s the name of the book?
Here is another good read on the subject:
Questioning Islam: Tough Questions & Honest Answers About the Muslim Religion (by Peter Townsend)
What is very interesting when you Google this topic is the number of pro-Islam sites that top the search results.
Charmin Extra Absorbent 12 pack.
Thinking about the topic, I just had a really evil but really funny idea: in particularly “blue” cities and ones in Europe, publicly burn Korans to provoke an Islamic attack on those “tolerant” cities.
Even if the liberals don’t learn anything from being attacked, it would at least be a popcorn moment. Western so-called “bigots” burn Korans... Muslim monsters burn people alive like that Jordanian pilot. How liberals can equate one with the other is beyond me.
I guess I’ve read the bible so much I don’t need to study Islam very much at all to know where it is from.
I highly recommend books by Bernard Lewis, particularly “What Went Wrong”.
They are not charged with emotion or hatred, they simply explain why things were as they were, and are as they are.
I will check out your suggestions.
“In Cold Blood” comes to mind.
Understanding Islam - easiest way to do that is to spend time living (not touring) in a muslim country.
Turkey, Egypt plus others I’m sure - step outside the city boundary and you are in a very rural area. This is were you want to live - not in the city - you will learn nothing.
To under stand the koran for yourself there is no need to read the host of books the author mentions. Just read the koran, sura by sura, referring to the Hadiths and Sunnahs which chronicle the life and sayings of Muhammad: these are Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari; Hadiths are Mohammad’s word to his followers; the Sunnahs are the history of Muhammad’s life whose motto was “Kill, kill, kill.”
The author mentions Bukhari, but that is not enough - the others are required if you really want to understand. Know before you begin that the koran is in two parts which parts are not linear in the koran, but mixed. This is important because Muhammad specifically voided the 1st half (the part containing the single mention of the word ‘love.’
Some of these may be difficult to find, but pretending curiosity and visiting your local mosque where you might find a loaner copy.
No FOMO if I don’t.
Read the papers because just about anywhere there is Terrorism death and Destruction there is is-scam!
There are other resources about gaining an honest look at Islam.

Dennis Prager’s book Still the Best Hope also does a good job of explaining why liberal secularists join forces with Muslims despite the danger.

I would recommend politicalislam.com as a good website to accompany your book. They have short videos on the history of Islam and muhammed. A real eye opener!
I bought the following in 1999-——loaned out many times. Easy reading covering the basics of Islam.

When we read what they tell us... or we read what others tell us about them... we miss the most important component to what they believe.
It’s what they tell each other.

Another vivid picture of life under the Koran is described in “Excellent Daughters” by Katherine Zoepf. Sincerely wishing to learn about the culture and the Arabic language, Zoepf enrolled in university in pre-revolutionary Syria.
Her description of the life of adolescent women, and men to some extent, is vivid and tragic. As she is neither a women’s liberation activist nor a muslim-convert; her narrative is all the more disturbing.
