It is the intention of this thread to place Islam in focus without any political correctness of the time, and to truly, genuinely and honestly undestand it.
Here are specific resources viewing Islam from a positive point
The Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America iiasa.org
Islamic Affairs Department of The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia iad.org
About "Jihad" alhewar.com
American Muslim Alliance website amaweb.org
A rather more positive interpretation/translation of Koran
submission.org
Human Rights in Islam
islam101.com

A positive spin on Islam's treatment of Women

And Here is a powerful argument that Islam treats women well, actually better than Judaism and Christianity:

There is also a book titled Why I am Not a Muslim written by IBN Warraq (himself a former Muslim).

And here is the teachings of one of the most prominent disciples of Mohammad and Islam which are based on his interpretation of Quran and the book of Hadith:
