"These two religions [Christendom and Islam], and as far as I am aware, no others in the world, believe that their truths are not only universal but also exclusive. They believe that they are the fortunate recipients of God's final message to humanity, which it is their duty not to keep selfishly to themselves like the Jews or the Hindus, but to bring to the rest of mankind, removing whatever barriers there may be in the way." — Bernard Lewis

Not that socialist, communist but Bernard Lewis, the greatest expert on Islam. His books and articles should serve as primers for anyone seeking the truth regarding Islam and the West. May you live to 120!
