HiddenSpring

An antidote to "The Truth about Muhammed"
I enjoyed this biography very much. I thought it struck a nice balance of respect and context driven history. The book is a nice antidote to the vitriole of "The Truth about Muhammed" by Robert Spencer on the one side, and the overly reverential view of Martin Lings ...
