ISLAM 101
"Islam 101 is
meant to help people become better educated about the fundamentals of
Islam and to help the more knowledgeable better convey the facts to
others. Similarly, my book and documentary are meant to serve as concise
explanations of the major moving parts of Islam and their implications
for Western society. Islam 101 is a condensation of the book and
documentary with the aim of lending clarity to the public understanding
of Islam and of exposing the inadequacy of prevailing views. All should
feel free to distribute and/or reproduce it." Gregory M.
Davis
