Book Reviews of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)

Book Review: Good work!
Summary: 5 Stars

I first read the Quran, and was quite appalled; I checked the verses I found terrible in different english & french translation: no point, the substance of the text was the same. In order to understand better, I read some more (islamic documents such as Hadiths, Sira, Tafsirs, Fiqh manuals, and books from some authors such as Ibn Warraq, Bernard Lewis, + french ones, + history books, + a lot of web sites - from islamists to reformists or secular "muslims"). Now I'm sure of something: there might be moderate muslims, but Islam IS NOT moderate - those "good" muslims are actually bad ones according to the dogma, and that's a religion I prefer not to see too much around me until it has reformed a lot of things!

So... About the "PIG to Islam...": I didn't actually learn a lot in it, because apparently I already knew quite a lot. But Mr Spencer's work is a very good one in terms of popularization. If you wish to learn "basics" about islam, that's a great book, and there're quite a lot of other readings suggested. "Oversimplified", as some critics puts it? maybe.... but that's the point, ain't it, in a 200-pages book? If people want to know more, well they just have to "dig" more...

I just wish we had such a book in the french-speaking world....
