 The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History
Excellent. Not a beach book. Leaves no doubt that mainstream Islam is a bloodthirsty, oppressive religion.
 weak Islamic bashing
This is highly selective and predictably biased. Not really worthy of
being dignified as "scholarship" at all as most balanced scholars of the history of Islam
will affirm.
 The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History
Professor Bostom has accomplished a daring feat by refuting an age old myth within the discipline of Middle Eastern History. His thesis statement, that Jews were not treated better under Muslim auspices, cuts through preconceived notions. It is an immense work that will take the avid historian weeks to go through, but it is all worth the work. Even though he is not an historian by trade he still manages to conjure new and old muslim source material, which makes his case all the more solid. It is not only a wondrous scholarly achievement, it is a stab at the greater narrative of Islamic history and religiosity. Come one come all and take a walk on the historical wild side, cause you might never come back. Read it and enjoy.
 Considerably biased
As a non-Muslim who has done some minimal study of Islam, I found this book to be very one-sided and polemical. Even a non-expert like myself can easily identify the biases and one-sided arguments in this book. Given the somewhat understandable bias against Islam in the Western world, no doubt many people will find this book confirms their views of Islam. However, I would encourage those inclined to agree with the author to consider that many Muslims do not hate Jews and to do their own research on this subject by reading or talking to Muslims. Furthermore, consider that it would be quite easy for a Muslim to write a similarly-biased book arguing that Judaism or Christianity is at its core anti-Muslim.
FALSE ARGUMENTS. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, AND MONEY
Just from my own research I found at least 23 false argumnet through out the book.
Unfourtunately, some people just want to hate others. For those people, this book might be good.
