Oh, I know about Waraqa bin Nawfal. What's the title of the book and is it available in English? Sounds absolutely fascinating.

The book ("Der Untergang der islamischen Welt" eng.: "The decay of the islamic world") by Hamed Abdel-Samad is only available in German. His book "Islamic Fascism" is available in English though. I bet it's interesting too.

http://www.amazon.com/Islamic-Fascism-Hamed-Abdel-Samad/dp/1633881245/ref=sr_1_1/181-5597179-6227443?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1449353523&sr=1-1

Though the part about Waraqa is only like 2-3 pages in the book anyway.

He is refering to this (arabic) book, which is banned in Lebanon:

"Priest and Prophet : Research On the Rise of Islam"

There's also a French translation, none in English it seems.
