One of the most depressing realities of modern life is the regularity with which deadly attacks are carried out in the name of Islam. Almost as depressing are the invariable reassurances by Western political leaders and media elites that these acts of violence have “nothing to do with Islam”. As part of these reassurances, we will also regularly hear the terms Radical Islam, Islamism, Militant Islam, "so-called" Islamic State (ISIS) and Jihadist bandied about as if people who act violently on behalf of Islam are somehow perverting the pristine teachings of the Muslim religion.

Understanding Islam From A Western Perspective
Revisado: 06-20-19
“Nothing To Do With Islam” arms you with detailed information about the Quran’s teachings from Mecca to Medina. It’s very helpful to a Western mind, explaining the ‘what’ and ‘why’ about how devout Muslims, who take the Quran's teachings literally, find it difficult to integrate into western society. It helps one understand why some are called to commit terrorist attacks against the west, including all non-believers. Since much of our life nowadays is spent online, esp. on social media, the author explains the many misnomers about Islam that are pushed and posted online. He breaks down how certain Islamic phrases and teachings are used out of context or used to push a certain narrative about Islamic beliefs. The Audible version is quite easy to listen to, flows well, and the narrator speaks clearly with precise pronunciation. The Audible book allowed me to complete the book quickly, but now I want to purchase the physical book for my library as a reference. I personally recommend this book, it does not ‘bash’ Islam or Muslims, it details the Quran’s teachings, and helps the Western mind understand Islam.
