This is an excellent book by Roger Scruton and got me interested in Islam and eventually I converted. As you probably know, Scruton is not exactly favorable in his outlook on Islam, but he gives it a very fair treatment here, seeking to explain the anti Western perspective of orthodox Muslims and even what the human motivations of terrorists are. He ultimately sees Islam as antithetical to the "West" but keeping in mind what the "West" represents to Muslims (not a culture, but the stench of a dead culture) and why their animosity toward it is understandable.

Because I hate your awful belief system.
Why?
Because according to it I'm a pig and an ape.
Because your ""prophet" is a warmongering pedophile.
Because you want to force everyone into submission.
I do, but I'm not a catholic
Pigs and apes are considered distinct communities in Islam, which pass through their own afterlife. If you're an atheist you are actually worse.
He was a warrior, but hardly a warmonger. He married one child bride, not a proclivity.

how is saudi arabia not first world
How is Qatar not first world?
Neither of these are liberal democracies
that’s your criteria of first world? lel, it’s a worthless criteria then cuz in one hundred years or less there will be no such thing as liberal democracy. it’s not a form of government with long term viability. they’re all gonna be superseded by other models inevitably. so, so much for your “first world” i guess
Islam has shown time and time again that it doesn't recognize the importance of secularism and freedom from legislating morality. Even Turkey is falling back
secularism is a fad at best, it will be outmoded eventually. not even a muslim, but that’s a fact. the unquestioned faith in the finality of post-enlightenment secularism is really too precious lol
