In 2007 Daveed Gartenstein-Ross wrote a memoir entitled: My Year Inside Radical
Islam. The book outlines a journey starting from a liberal Jewish background, to becoming a Muslim, and,
finally, converting to Christianity. A critical fulcrum which leveraged his journey toward the latter
conversion involved becoming entangled with a fundamentalist group of Muslims in Ashland, Oregon when he
was still a Muslim. The present critique of Mr. Gartenstein-Ross's book takes issue not with the decisions
he made at various junctures along his journey, but, rather, explores the manner in which Mr. Gartenstein-Ross
came to permit a Muslim group of spiritual counterfeiters to distort his understanding concerning the actual
nature of Islam.
