Al Fadi is a much more reserved critic of Islam. Sam Shamoun and David Wood however are very harsh and do not hold back. Both are great at what they do. In the past month or so I have learned even more about Muhammed then I ever cared to know about.

Just over twenty years ago I was a visiting professor at Marmara University in Istanbul. During my two years there, I had ample opportunity to learn about Islam and it's history. I found it very interesting. I also explored the pre-Islamic Christian history of Turkey. Lots of ruins, and lots of artifacts in museums. Exotic in many ways, it was interesting. I was treated well, and came to like the country and the people.

As an aside, a year or so before going to Turkey, I had signed up on a dating web site. The university had a good internet connection,so I so I had no problem communicating with several American ladies. When I got home I followed up on one of the contacts. We've now been married for 18 years.
