As the book club matures please post a separate thread for each book discussion. That would go a long way in terms of ease of access - especially for potential participants - Thanks - Dave D.

Dave- I definitely planned on it. I think my sanity would suffer otherwise!
I might get a list of vocabulary up as a reference at some point this weekend.
Dayuhan,
Already thought of it.We'll work through one book (perhaps an article or two?) every two months.
I chose this book to go first for a number of reasons. Most importantly is that Brown does a great job of covering a good amount of history, vocabulary, and 'current' events while explaining things in an approachable fashion. It's a very condensed version of Islam 101, basically. Articles, however, tend to assume the reader has a fairly good background knowledge to begin with. It's why they can have such manageable discussion points. If you don't have that background, they're 30 pages of misery.
Perhaps the next thing we read will be an article. I have one in mind already
