This is an amazing book in its clarity and getting to the heart of understanding the psyche of Islam. The title does not do it justice. The book is a great starting point for both a beginner and an advanced student to become oriented with respect to Islamic ideology which is so different from a Western understanding of religion. The author helps you enter into an Islamic mindset as well as into the depressing psychological effects that Islam has on non-Muslims who must live in a Muslim majority country.
