ajiss-2497	Ba-Yunus, Ilyas	Muhammad: A Biography of the Prophet By Karen Armstrong. San Francisco: Harper, 1992, 290 pp.	1993.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1570	69	62	The main strength of the book lies in the fact that the author is not a run-of-the-mill orientalist With experience as a free-lance writer, com­ mentator, and television documentary producer, Armstrong does not avoid the themes so dear to European critics of the Prophet, but deals with them directly. From the very beginning, it is apparent that this book is written with an unsurpassed empathy and that it contains a degree of dismay and resentment that the truth about the Prophet and Islam has been compromised and hidden by ethnocentric European writers inspired either by the Christian church and its missionaries or modem secularism.	cache/ajiss-2497.pdf	txt/ajiss-2497.txt
