It failed to even slightly prove that:1) Islam is a real religion.
2) Muhammed was a prophet of God.
3) God and Islam view everyone equally regardless of race, age or gender.
That being said, I put my atheist beliefs aside and attempted to read the book with an open mind. And I learned some new things. I didn't know much about the five pillars of Islam and my only exposure to the story of Muhammed was through a children's picture book in primary school, so I actually came away from this with more information than I get from most. That was a bonus.
But it still didn't prove anything and I haven't been converted. The example quotes from the Qu'ran were frequently repeated and often irrelevent... apparently a woman being punished for starving a cat has something to do with human rights - well, this is news to me!
At only 70-something pages, though, I read it in no time and, like I said, I now have a slightly greater knowledge of Islam than I did an hour ago.
