only *one* source, Sandra? You're relying on only one source?! I mean, it can be a jumping off point but to "*know*" from only one source?

I thought I credited my source pretty well. The Great Books are easy to
find. That's where I read it and I just reported it here in case anyone here
hadn't known about that either. I'm no expert, but it was information I
hadn't had before. Other things on Islam I'd read or been told or seen in
videos before, but that one aspect was new to me, when I stayed at my friend
Kate's house in Denver last year and picked that book off the shelf to read
in bed.

SO. How do you unschool?

Is this nyah nyah stuff really necessary? Seems to me the Koran would be a
reasonable *start* if you wanted to find out more about Islam. And she did
mention some supporting materials.
