Ahmed Rehab of the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations says many people still are under the false impression that Islam is a radical religion, and that its believers want to change the U.S. into an Islamic state.

"I think it's very clear that the book has an agenda and is anti-Muslim," Amina Shariff, CAIR Chicago, said. "If they are trying to imply subliminally some kind of Christian-Muslim conflict here, I think that that is very dangerous and completely inappropriate."

"The difference between us and those that we fight, in the form of Al-Qaeda and other militant radical groups is that we are a nation of values. We're a nation of laws.
