This book is about the authors journey to spirituality and how he attains it. Highly recommend Muslims and Non Muslims to read it. It had a tremendous impact on my life, my way of thinking and viewing this world. Highly recommend it!

Islam is a religion of extremists blah blah blah, its sad to see this become 'bestseller' no one tries to research her credentials or her knowledge on Islam. And blindly buys this book on the basis of her known bashing of Islam.

Most ignorant book on Islam. I dont see the reason for anyone to buy this, I would recommend to watch Fox and CNN news to get the same dosage the book feeds you.

To get a true picture of the Prophet, get "Muhammad" by Martin Lings or "Islam: short history" by Karen armstrong or to learn about the contemporary crisis of the West with Islam. Read Bernard Lewis "what went wrong".

The book is very well written. Very easy to read and very informative. Could be used as a supplement or secondary approach on research on Islamic history and contemporary times. I would recommend someone interested in Islamic history to read --- Margin Langs: Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources

One complaint about the book is, it emphasizes too much on 'shia' world. And doesnt critque clearly on shia ideologies and formations as he does for the "sunnis'. However, I do recommend everyone/anyone to read this book and form their own opinions.
