Yes, I have read it, although I never was a muslim. "The God Delusion" is overrated by comparison, I think, although Dawkins is a brilliant writer in his area of expertise, which is zoology and evolutionary biology.
Ibn Warraq is not a real name, it is a traditional pen name for critics of Islam.
Could I highly recommend "The End of Faith" by Sam Harris. Similar themes to Dawkins and "Ibn Warraq", but much better and more profound in his thinking.

I have not read any of Ibn Warraq's books, and hence cannot comment on anything he/she says. After I saw this question, I tried to find more about Ibn Warraq and from the information I could find on the internet, I can safely say that he is basing his arguments on the way Islam is followed/practiced - especially in the Indian subcontinent. This is essentially wrong. More like rejecting Christianity because Hitler persecuted the jews. So the best way to find the merits of any religion, is to read its scriptures and not by studying its followers. So to know about Islam, study the Koran, to know Christianity study the bible, etc.. There might be somethings that all of us may not agree with, but I am sure we can come across a lot of good that we can all embrace. I am sure that when you just look at the good things in all the scriptures , the message of all religions will be the same.

Apparently it didn't set you entirely free since you claim to be an apostate but still refer to yourself as Muslimah.
Or you are just a troll trying to get a rise out of people.

I haven't read that book, but I have read objective scholarly works on Islam and biographies of the Prophet Muhammad, so I am 100% convinced of the truth of Islam.

No, I read "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I recommend it also.
