Judaism's Strange Gods, Michael A. Hoffman, self-published, 2000, 115 pages with 13 pages of references.

I read this book in 2001 and was stunned by the things about today's Judaism that I didn't know. You can get this book at Amazon where there is a LONG raging debate on it through comments and book reviews. Some people defend it as refreshing expose. Others attack it as neo-nazi and offensive. A friend of mine who was a CONVERT to Judaism attacked it as neo-nazi and filled all the margins of my paperback copy with notes. Read it yourself and decide. I just here want to point out that Mohammed lived in Bhagdad for a time BEFORE he started The Koran in Arabia. Many items from Jewish texts seem to have found their way into The Koran. This book might be useful as a beginning point for a series of book reviews I am about to start (hopefully 1 per day) about Islam, Jihad, the United Nations, nuclear weapons, and politics and prophecies of The Middle East. These books are by some well known authors. The extensive list of references (~10% of the book) is impressive. Hoffman, who is Jewish himself, was a reporter for The Associated Press and has authored several books.
