### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Outstanding If You Really Want to Know
  

*by K***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019*

This is my first book by Mark Durie and it is outstanding. If you're interested in learning about Islam here is a book. The Author is very careful to show things as unbiased as possible. He is not a right-wing, anti-Islam nut case. He is very measured in his writing, his assessment and leaves the conclusions to you the reader. I have read a lot on Islam from many different angles and this one is unique in its approach. It has the background, the detail and is laid out to understand. It is not a quick read but a thorough one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    well-written and sourced
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2021*

Mark Durie does an excellent job tracing the historical and doctrinal basis of the Dhimmi, as well as other aspects of Islam.  He uses original Islamic sources, including the Quran and the hadith considered authentic by most Muslim authorities, while also citing writings by recognized and respected Muslim and non-Muslim scholars alike.  Durie presents the information in a thorough, clear manner, and doesn't engage in polemics like many other writers.  At the same time, he also doesn't shy away from, water down, or make excuses for practices that often prove to be debilitating for those living in "dhimmitude."  A highly recommended read for Muslim and non-Muslim alike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Easily the best available introduction to Islam
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011*

This man knows how to write.  His sentences are transparently clear and sometimes distilled to an almost magical purity of meaning.  It's not a long book and it's easy enough for people with no knowledge of Islam, yet experts will probably be able to learn a lot from it too, because of the author's outstanding mastery of his material.  The book manages the feat of combining tremendous readability with great scholarly thoroughness.  It also manages the feat of being both more hard-hitting and yet more compassionate than any other book out there on Islam.The Third Choice should be a top contender for best single introduction to Islam and also to the Islamic textual and historical basis of "dhimmitude."  Dhimmitude means turning non-Muslims into second class citizens subject to various kinds of legal and social discrimination.  The institution is reminiscent of Jim Crow era segregation or South African apartheid, but dhimmitude is based on religious rather than racial discrimination, and is often considered by Muslims eternal and unchangeable till the end of time, because sourced in the eternal word of Allah in the Qur'an, and in the example of Muhammad in the canonical Islamic traditions about Muhammad's life.The Third Choice employs Durie's conscientious and insightful style to make a powerful case that Islam and creeping dhimmitude pose growing dangers to civil liberties and open societies.  He makes the case through a consideration of core Islamic texts, Islamic history, modern media reports, and his own experience living in Indonesia.  Durie evinces a profound knowledge of the core Islamic texts and what those texts direct Muslims to do about unbelievers.  Despite the book's relative brevity, it's almost miraculously comprehensive and thorough, pulls no punches, and reveals the darkest underbelly of Islam with unmatched effectiveness and yet with genuine compassion.  A work of genius.
