Tarek Fatah,

If you want a book that makes you think this book certainly does that. If you are expecting Bat Yeor
or a trashing of Islam this isn't the book. Oddly, the people who need to read this book the most are the least likely to read it.
Genrally, I do not like books by leftists as they tend to rationalize items that frankly have no excuse.
This is not the case here and to a great extent the author lets his fellow leftists off the hook too much. The author cites Arab cultural imperalism of non Arab Musli...more

This is a helpful book. Tarek is a committed Muslim.
He calls for a reinterpretation of the Qur'an because in it lies the roots of hatred for and jihadist violence towards all non-Muslims, especially "People of the Book", both Christians and Jews.
Peace can never exist between Muslims and all others the way the Qur'an is presently interpreted.
Every School of Islamic Law, regardless of Muslim sect, supports the hateful, violent application of the Qur'an's and Hadith's content followed by violent...more

Well balanced analysis of the current status of relationships between Jews and Muslims and some of the reasons for the problems between Israel and most of the Muslim dominated nations. Can add significantly to an understanding of why prejudice develops.
Excellent well balanced insight into Muslim Anti-Semitism... I suspect there is a large Jewish audience for the title but wonder how many moslems are reading it...
Well-researched and documented by a courageous, forthright author.
Intelligent look at the sources of Muslim anti-Semitism. Questions the validity of some of the stories traditionally told to support contemporary anti-Semitism within Islam. Fatah is definitely writing from the viewpoint of a moderate, progressive Muslim. Not well accepted in the conservative Muslim community.
