So surprise, surprise, a Jewish lady writing a biography of Muhammad comes to a conclusion as to who the true infidels are, but have a listen, you may be more more surprised than you think, though it is not to everyone's taste - as one of her detractors said "She might as well have told the story of Harry Potter and how Voldemort is a fundamentalist...", and while I am not a big fan of TED another protagonist claimed the talk was not "TED-worthy"!
On Muhammad, the relationship between faith and doubt, and the travesty of fundamentalism
for some background, her blog:
The Accidental Theologist - an agnostic eye on religion, politics and existence
and the New York Times review of her biography of Muhammad - "The First Muslim"
The Messenger and the Message - ‘The First Muslim,’ by Lesley Hazleton
And just remember "TED talks are there to make you think about things that you haven't thought of before" - or perhaps discussed on a gay forum before!
and yes I do have a spare grain of salt and a truck if you feel the need!
