Phil Carter, a lawyer, but currently deployed in Iraq, has posted on the books he read to learn more about Islam. This would be a good place for anyone to start.

To the Iraq list I would add Fromkin's "A Peace to End All Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East."
