Thomas Jefferson's Qur'an: Islam and the Founders by Denise Spellberg
4.0
A *very* comprehensive look at virtually everything the Founders wrote and said about Islam and religious tolerance. It shows the complex - and often contradictory - attitudes they and other Americans have had towards Islam during the past four centuries.
Sometimes Spellberg gets bogged down into too much fact-listing to tell a clear story. But I do think it was right for the book to attempt to include everything. I'm naturally suspicious of writers who are selective with facts when it comes to topics as potentially inflammatory as this one is.
