Now on C-Span2: Karen Armstrong: Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time

[AlamoDemoc]

'Karen Armstrong talked about her book Muhammad: A Prophet for Our Time, published by HarperCollins in the Eminent Lives series. In her biography of the prophet of Islam she describes Muhammad as a respectful man who lived a decent life. Ms. Armstrong argues that while the Islamic religion is often represented as cruel, inherently violent and intolerant, Muhammad taught tolerance toward Jews and Christians to all of his followers."

3. She knows her stuff, and always presents information

that's easily understood. Too bad we didn;t have HER on tv every day in 2002 to fill us all in BEFORE junior went off the deep end.

Instead, we got Bill Bennett, Bill Kristol, Dick Cheney etc..
