Admittedly the book was put together by a Christian organization who works with Muslims, so the book does have a Christian slant, but there's plenty of great information inside no matter what your belief background is (I'd just skip the chapter on church planting... in fact, I only skimmed it as that section wasn't interesting or relevant to me).
As a primer for learning about Islam, this textbook starts from the very beginning and takes you all the way through the history, social / political basics, beliefs, and so on. Very well put together. ( )
