The Myth of Islamic Tolerance- How Islamic Law Treats Non-Muslims

1 stars (Only ever telling HALF the truth) - I am always shocked by non-Muslim writers when they write about Islam with such biased and present it as the truth! If you are going to discuss a topic academically do so critically, presenting all the information so people can make-up their own minds. I agree to a certain extent with the other reviewer (Zaid) when he says `The myth of Muslim tolerance' however I am a person who would not even like to label it under such a general title. I would prefer `The Myth of (the particular ruler of the period) tolerance', which is being far more honest. Are there no records of oppressive `MEN' throughout history in any country or in any religion? Or is this someone, having seen a market, just trying to make a buck by selling a book? Surely we have enough hate in the world! Here is a quote from the Koran. It is crystal clear. "Allah does NOT forbid you to deal JUSTLY and KINDLY with those who did NOT fight against you on account of your religion and did NOT drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah LOVES those who deal with fairness (Surah 60: Verse 8)' Just as in the Bible - in the Koran there are verses that state - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth etc. In other words you can give as good as you get, but it clearly states you cannot go beyond that and there is a clause! - if you forgive, forget and treat your offender with gentleness and kindness you get a far greater reward from Allah! How can this be a religion of violence? I advise people to not rely on books written about Islam, but instead pick up the Koran and read it - make up your own mind - don't let others do it for you. You owe it to yourself not to have your thinking molded by someone else. I rated it one star - nice picture on the cover. 1 stars (People with little background....) - I am quite alarmed by both this book as well as the reviews it has received. The book attempts to draw conclusions by assuming the conclusions are presumtively correct. There ...

Please Understand Me- Character and Temperament Types

5 stars (Outstanding tool for managing and leading) - An easy to read and understand explanation of why some things appeal to us and others don't. This is a must read for anyone that supervises or leads people. Robert Ruiz 5 stars (The Bible of Typology) - Offering a comprehensive analysis of how our temperaments affect our style of leadership, romance, childhood behavior, and overall character, "Please Understand Me" is an invaluable tool of reference that will forever change the way you view interpersonal relationships. There were moments in the book when I could not help but think to myself, "If I had just known this earlier, it would have saved me so much trouble." The universal applicability of what Keirsey & Bates discuss make this a relevant read for all of mankind, however, only the enlightened minority that actually cares to discover why human beings behave the way that they do will appreciate the content. Exceptionally practical and insightful, this is a work that you can refer back to again and again throughout the years to better decipher the actions of those around you. Highly recommended. 5 stars (How to Understand Yourself and Those Around You) - +++++ This easy-to-read book, by clinical psychologists David Keirsey and Marilyn Bates, is about character and temperament types. Character is the integration of all traits to yield a unified whole which reveals the nature or personality of a person. Temperament is an aspect of a person's general make-up characterized by dispositions toward particular patterns of behavior (for example, emotional reactions and mood shifts). The authors explain the purpose of their book: "The point of this book is that people are different from each other, and that no amount of getting after them is going to change them. Nor is there any reason to change them, because the differences are probably good, not bad." The book begins by making the reader aware that there are four pairs of "dimensions of difference": (1...
