Re: The First Muslim. Story of Muhammad(pbuh)
Finished it. Learned so many details.
She use ibn-ishaq as her primary source.
She clearly follow the line that, as quan says only miracle he(pbuh) had was quran.
Yet any early source is not with out details of light and this and that.
She mentioned it but don’t base her work/writing on it.
As she put it her self, more you take out possibility or miracle more extra ordinary life become.
She very thoroughly describe process of revolution, what might have been.
That is her talking on TED about first revolution.

Madina part is… as you know, at time less pleasant, as you might expect from a non Muslim author.
But I think every one should read this book.
Re: The First Muslim. Story of Muhammad(pbuh)
The account in the quran is very different. it is important that people get the basic story from the quran and then turn to other sources to fill the gaps if they must. islam is not a religion=system of make beleifs and useless rituals based upon blind faith but a way of life advised by Allah. any other way of life is anti islam therefore kufar.
