I have read this earlier under the name of &quot;true history of Islam by shabir ahmed&quot; and I think I forwarded here in this forum as well.

The book, no doubt, is of great interest. Although many of his evidences were [b]funny and illogical [/b] 
but I like this man because he did show courage and did some research and then exposed the biased interpretation of Islam even from some genuine and sincere scholars. 
Especially about women. Our most  scholars, being male, could not judge many things correctly about women and treat them inferior and sometimes as mere comforter and soothing object for men. This attitude should be changed as this is not the reality in true Islam.

Nevertheless, his language is not as scholastic as it should be. Respect should be given to all scholars because [u][b]criticism with respect [/b] [/u] is also the Islamic teaching which he lacks.

Maybe he is also frustrated just like me (haha)...with wrong interpretation of Islam by those scholars..so could not control his emotion.

to me it is worth reading and then with respectfully we should also do some efforts to find out how Islam is misinterpreted by our many authentic scholars in present and past. And then try to educate others.

But be careful, as one great scholar of Pakistan who has been doing it (correcting the wrong interpretation of Islam) with great logic and authentic evidences, is now living in exile????............

God knows better...
