A new book by Patrick Sookhdeo is always welcome. Here is a review of his latest, "Islam in our midst: the Challenge to our Christian Heritage".
I've read his monumental "Global Jihad", which, not surprisingly, Islam apologists did not like, though they attack the man, in typical form, not the argument: eg, Mehdi Hasan, who Sookhdeo answered here.
Timmerman, in his review linked above says:
Because of his scholarship and his deep understanding of Islamic texts and Islamic law, it is harder for the pro-Sharia lobby to dismiss him as an Islamophobe.
This is a bit hopeful. The always ridiculous Islamophobia-watch.com will always have a go at the messenger -- any person who lays out the facts of Islam, again with slight impact on the key arguments, preferring the good old standby of ad hominem, e.g."...this right-wing evangelical Christian's bigot..."
He is not (though he is a Christian). Read what he writes and judge for yourself.
