1. RE: A total piece of trash...

Well, Mr. Anonymous, it would help if you told us why you consider this book a piece of trash instead of just trashing it. I for one would much more readily trust Spencer than any Muslim, scholar or not, given the fact that they are barred by definition from being critical, even in the slightest, about Muhammad and the Quran. In other words, if you want the truth, don't ask a Muslim. On the contrary, stay away from them. And if this wasn't bad enough, they are also authorized by the same Quran to lie through their teeth as long as it is "for the good of Islam" (whatever that means), and especially if the lies are directed at the non-believers (aka "Kaffirs"). Spencer is one of the best sources for someone looking for a reasonably critical assessment of Islam and Muhammad, but there are others as well, especially Ibn Warraq, himself a former Muslim who broke the taboo and omerta (Maffia rule of silence). Not surprisingly, his life (and Spencer's) are routinely threatened. So much for the religion of Peace. For more books on the charms of Islam (with a critical look, that is), look up www.mideastbooks.com/islam.html . Happy reading.
