I strongly recommend actually reading The Koran.
It's not what we're all told it is, you know ... most of the Evil Rhetoric™ that we hear about is the result of exortations of individual clerics and sects.
The Book itself is pretty mild. Occasional smitings by God, relatively few exhortations to smite, and clear indications that there should be good relations with Jews and Christians.
Of course, I could have read the "watered down for better PR edition." I did buy it after 9-11.
