I am currently in the process of reading this book. My cousin got it for me after strongly recommending it to me. Unfortunately, I am well-acquainted with Islamic history, and this book is not really history. It's more like story telling. It's a really interesting story; I just wish things actually happened the way Ansary describes them. While he does admit that this is more like a "coffeehouse" discussion, it would be very dangerous to take this book for what is not: a history textbook.
Every American should read Ansasry's book, be they Christian, Jewish, Muslim or other. It provides essential context of the most vexing issues of the day: Palestine, Afghanistan, the Arab/Israeli conflict. Ansary is a wise and gentle guide.
2 thumbs down. nothing about the truth about 911, just more slaps to the face against Tamim's very relatives that are getting out the truth about just what happened on that day. PLEASE youtube viewers, take a look at my channel and my messages for the world at large......
The loser blames his problems on someone else. European colonialists did not shackle Muslims with bronze age wisdom like: Kill them wherever you find themuntil Allah's religion reigns supreme(Koran 2 :193). Jesus father is no better. An Islam apologist (see Amazon review) cares for the destiny of Muslims, not the destiny of Man.

@rogercooke1 Do you blame the banks for the current recession? If so does that make you a loser? Try reading the book before you pass judgement, its only fair to keep an open mind.
