Some more reading

I've just finished The Islamist by Ed Husain, which is very interesting. I wasn't expecting to find it moving but I did. I've thought about it and I think it's moving because 1) it's a nice change to read something which doesn't treat faith as intrinsically stupid, but takes a more subtle approach by looking at different manifestations of faith and 2) his anger at the way that Muslims are manipulated by people who want to turn their faith into a political thing reminds me of how angry it makes me when I feel that certain types of Christians are taking advantage of Christians like my parents.
