hey charmed,

I would like to recommend you read a book by Keren armestrong " Mohamad, a prophet for our times"

Keren is a nun ( or ex nun , i get confused:)

she has a very solid understanding of the message of mohammad and islam, rapped in her overwhelming knowledge of christianity and juadism in her capacity as a nun, yielding a bueatifull outcome really....

Also if u like there is a movie called " the message" by the prominant syrian director Mostafa al akad starring Anthony quinn...

The message is a 3 hours movie that narrates the story of the rise of islam and mohhamd's message..

an even easier way to get some basic info:) possiblly more fun as well..

off course the movie doesnt cover even half the details, but it would be a good place to start in a fun way to know a little about islam..

if there is any way i can help, dont hesitate to ask..

Have a gr8 weekend:)
