He states that several of his conclusions in the book go against what Islam teaches. Is that the 'bias' everyone is referring to?
She started by assuming he had a bias, and that the bias in question affected his conclusions when it was obvious that she did not read the book. That is poor 'journalism' - and I use that term very loosely. She claimed that he is 'hiding' the fact that he is Muslim, yet, this fact is revealed on page 2 of the book. She did not even make it to page 2 and yet she feels she can critique the book. What makes it seem like an 'attack on Christianity? Because it has the word 'zealot' in it?
