$10 says it never makes it to a second edition...Asma Gull Hasan wrote her new book, "Why I Am A Muslim: An American Odyssey," on a Mac. It is being published this month by Thorsons/Element, a division of HarperCollins.
The Mac operating system was created from scratch with the goal of being simple. When you turn a Mac on, the desktop is not an artificial environment created to navigate through DOS but is, in fact, the actual environment.
Islam and Mac both started revolutions. Mac is a computer designed to be easy to use. Islam is a religion designed to be easy to use.

Do you really want to choose a religion based on its ease of use?
PowerBuilder is an "easy" programming language that nobody uses anymore because it sucks.
People eat at McDonald's all the time because it is "easy".
Watching TV nonstop is "easier" than spending time with your family.
etc. etc. etc.
Religion is (usually) all about discipline. Discipline is the exact opposite of "easy".

When you turn a Mac on, the desktop is not an artificial environment created to navigate through DOS but is, in fact, the actual environment. Muslims are encouraged by the Koran to look at the world with curiosity and wonder, not to be afraid of scientific discovery. God's creations are "signs" to us of his design, which God wants us to explore and theorize about. The Koran liberates us to ask, "Why?" This accessibility to God is a major attraction for many Muslim converts. Being Muslim, and also being a Mac user, is empowering because both put me in control.
