Considering some of the awful things done by people calling themselves Muslims, critics are not entirely to blame for their somewhat negative impressions of Islam. However, the techniques they use to study Islam, such as the use of historical material that is not accepted by all Muslims and cherry-picking Quranic verses cannot possibly give the best results.
A Closer Look at Islam looks into these dubious techniques and the impressions they generate. It goes on to explain the teachings of Islam based on a proper study of the Quran and the resplendent virtues of some of its truest believers. And it also discusses the doubts of some critics in the existence of God and the prophet Muhammad.
