Summary:For the first time Islam is uncovered and exposed for what it is. While other authors attempted to be objective they all have failed perhaps because of the Salmon Rushdie affair. Not this author. Solomon Tulbure is not afraid to write the truth even while he received death threat of having written essays and articles exposing Islamic law and doctrines which are kept under the covers by the Muslims.
If you liked Dr. Solomon Tulbure�s earlier book, G. W. Bush Is a Moron: Islam is NOT Peace, then you ought to love his latest offering, Islam Exposed. It is more than four times longer, and it presents a much more detailed look into the dark side of Islam. There is also substantial new information on Muslim reformers and apostates. Although a few of the chapters will seem familiar, Dr. Tulbure has expanded most of those to include new material, and he has also added several all-new and even more exciting chapters.
Detailed Summary:
Several chapters cleverly expose the false claims of literary, numerical and scientific "miracles" in the Koran. In spite of the teaching that Muslims must seek out knowledge, Islam Exposed shows that most Islamic writers and apologists are quite often very ignorant of modern science. Islam, as it is practiced in most of the world today, appears to be trapped in an earlier era, without the benefit of the western advances during the Reformation and the Age of Enlightenment. Little has changed in Islamic culture over the past 500 years.
As the book suggests, part of the problem may be that Mohammed is not just the founder of Islam, but is also considered to be the perfect moral role model. But of course, considered in the light of modern moral values, he is not that at all. Dr. Tulbure uses the Koran, the Hadith and other documents to expose just what sort of person Mohammed really was.
Over 40 pages have been added on the status of women in Islam, and its surprising connection to modern forms of slavery in the Muslim world. In those pages, Dr. Tulbure gives us a detailed look into the abominable lives of many Muslim women. That chapter, �The Slavery of Women in Islam,� is truly one of the gems of Islam Exposed.
Another real gem of Islam Exposed is the chapter on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Most of those pages are dedicated to a thorough, objective, but easy to follow, history of the entire conflict from the 3rd millennium B.C.E. to modern times. Most people would be quite surprised to learn that this battle did not begin in the 20th century, but thousands of years earlier. This chapter alone would make an excellent book, disclosing just why this conflict appears so intractable.
A central theme throughout is the struggle within Islam between democratic values and the oligarchic forces of Islamic theocracy. It explains how and why political Islamism has managed to marginalize democracy-loving Islam reformers, and what can be done about it.

Writer Tulbure has crafted an interesting work following what must be years of intensive research. Author Tulbure has an excellent understanding of how to the hook the reader, draw them into the work then hold their interest from first paragraph to last page. Often documentaries tend to be dry, dogmatic or argumentative. Writer Tulbure has avoided these pitfalls. Careful attention is given to details, using quotes from Islamic writing to provide a basis for his statements and a reluctance for sensationalism.
This is not a book to rush through, or read piecemeal. Rather it is a carefully wrought work meant to be read over a period of time with ample time allowed for the reader to assimilate, ponder, perhaps check some of the references and to really inculcate the knowledge Dr Tulbure would like to impart to those who use his book.
