A true classic. She converted not to the real Islam, but to a phantom Islam that exists only in her mind.

To be fair, some Sufi groups are similar to the Islam she describes. But most Muslims, and all the extremists, consider these Sufis to be apostates, and therefore to be killed in preference to even unbelievers.

I keep seeing the same thing connected with these (so-called) religion of peace. I keep reading that those who did believe and now don’t should be killed; those who don’t believe should be killed,,,,etc and etc should be killed.

Does anyone else get this?

"In all of my studies, Islam was the one faith most compatible with so-called ‘Western’ thought."

I wonder how she arrived at that conclusion? Perhaps her studies of Sufism gave her an extraordinarily distorted view of what real, everyday Islam is like.

Westerners who rebel against Mommy and Daddy tend to make up their own versions of exotic foreign religions.

Someone with a good heart and no preconceived notions reading the Quran can get this pretty kumbaya Islam from it. The problem is that it's almost never practiced that way.
