Islam has many faces ..

This book would prove an interesting read l am sure ..

Critiquing a book is challenging when there are so many facets, historical facts, conflicting ideologies - attempting to do this when suffering PTSD especially if your Dopamine and Serotonin are depleted. Really enjoyed the Podcast, would be really interested to learn more - so many secrets hidden within mystical traditions with their multiple interpretations .. Great stuff! Keep going David!
