misspalah 's review for:

A World Without Islam by Graham E. Fuller

4.0

---

Funny how non muslim author managed to write a book about Islam in a much clearer and detailed manner. I thought Reza Aslan is the best writer till date, but Fuller is just amazing. It was balanced in argument and no biases detected. There are things that I disagree but that was the point of reading, to gain knowledge. In my experience of reading this book, i ended up knew about Christian and judaism faith and in the same time, got rid of my pre conceived notion that I've had for those two. Reading this definitely helped in strengthening my faith. For me, this is not a book of apology or a pile of excuses for Islam and muslims for their previous crimes or cruelty acts. It is an enlightenment of looking at different angle especially why religion shouldn't be the first thing you think whenever terrorism occurred. Why it happened in the first place could be stem from political and power struggle rather than religion itself. I rated it 4 stars, I was impressed by his honesty.
