Well-Researched and Refreshingly Objective

LeBor's book reflects a true mark of a good journalist. It is honest, objective, and well-researched. He shows the whole picture, good as well as bad. He is careful to distinguish between genuine Islam and the personalized versions, which can be highly distorted through cultural influences or political agendas (Islam used as a guise). I highly recommend this book to everyone -- Muslims and non-Muslims.
