Muhammad – A Biography of the Prophet – by Karen Armstrong

“In the West, we have never been able to cope with Islam; our ideas about this faith have been crude , dismissive, and arrogant, but we have now learned that we cannot remain in an attitude of such ignorance and prejudice.”

Again, Karen Armstrong is my favorite, current day, religious scholar. This book will challenge your ignorance and confront your prejudice.

Read it. It’s fascinating.
