The books I have are much older than these. I would highly recommend the older books that might tend to be written by honest non revisionist historians.
I have the books in storage, and so do not have the exact titles with me, but basically they were called, World Religions.
Here is a site that sells books on this subject:
http://www.google.com/products?q=World+Religions+book&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1
Please be careful of those with an agenda. I think that they should be running rampant these says since twisted people have found out that they can write something and have people believe it because there is typically only one source that people draw from.

Best thing to do is read books and NOT websites unless you want to look up the references from what is written there. I've been to plenty of sites that really have lots of garbage on them. One of the better ones for islam is www.beconvinced.com otherwise I would recommend reading "The Bible, Quran, and Science" by Maurice Bucaille which is interesting. I have many more suggestions. Email me if you'd like a list.

I'm an atheist and a naturalistic pantheist which means that "I believe in God/dess but spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." It is sort of like a nontheistic and rational "pagan". It's paganism for the 21st century and is even more earth-centered than "mainstream" paganism which focuses on magic. It is very eco-centered and Green in focus.
Knowing of the interdependence of nature (food cycle, etc.) as well as the interdependence of actions (ancestors' past actions affect my current circumstances and my actions will affect the circumstances of my descendents) fills me with a sense of gratefulness which I demonstrate both through my actions as well as concrete actions of respect and honor.
We celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Some of us even do rituals - for myself I have developed offeratory rituals to honor Nature and the ancestors, Sacred Meal ritual, and chanting and meditation practices. These are available in the files section of the public pantheist groups here on Yahoo and on Beliefnet.

I would really recommend Gifts of the Jews and the next book in the series, Desire of the Everlasting Hills. Great history and good reading.

Salam
First read Al Quran or the meaning of Al Quran, then read the Bible all 27 versions will show you a better understanding of things and then Torah and or Old testimate. You will spend the rest of your life learning this, if you are determined.
