A "MUST read" for all in Western Civilization
For all of us who wish an un-hyped understanding--without politically correct filters--of one of the worlds largest political/religious belief systems, this book delivers. Mr. Spencer provides historical context and a great understanding of the Islamic world in this easy-to-read, easy-to-understand book. This is a MUST read for every man, woman, and child in the West.
Ignore the bad comments by muslim propagandists
INFIDEL, because they already consider you one anyway...... Dont believe me, go to your nearest Mosque and pick up their koran with your bare hands..... have no fear, its the religion of peace after all.
This book is an excellent no holds barred look at the REAL propose of islam without the rosy PC glasses the liberals or the ACLU think everyone has to wear..... call me an islamaphobe, but while you're calling a spade a spade be honest with yourself about islam. I deployed to Iraq March of 03 and have seen it in its purest form..... What will it take people? How many backpack bombs need to go off in a mall before you admit you were wrong to defend islam? How many female 'circumcisions' or honor killings? The 'moderate' muslims NOT committing these attacks aren't evil, but cant say they are truly following islam word for word either. The late chronology parts of the koran from mohammed's time in Medina that "abrogate" the peaceful earlier parts from his time in Mecca spreads hate and intolerance and should be received as such. The only peace to be found in the koran is muslim to muslim (unless any number of circumstances apply) Buy this book and WAKE UP!!!! Look up "sudden jihad syndrome"
An honest account.
When I first looked at the book I wondered how Robert Spencer would manage to fit a good account of the Koran (and its place in the other sacred Islamic writings) in a slim volume - but he manages it.
It is a solid account, not without humour but not obsessed with making the subject "light". Nor does Mr Spencer avoid the times when Muhammad actually says something moderate (such as that a man should beat his wife with a "toothbrush").
The general picture that Mr Spencer presents is not a comfortable one for those who wish to pretend that only a few "extremists" have hostile intent towards nonMuslims, the problem is not with a few "extremeists" but with the basic Islamic doctrines themselves. Doctrines that Muslims do not believe were created by a man called Muhammad - but are the eternal doctrines of God (doctrines as old as the universe - and which will last as long as the universe does) that were communicated to Muhammad
Again not a comforting message - but the truth. And we must face the truth if we are to have any chance of thinking and acting rationally.
You must read this book! Your life may depend on it!
Every American should read this book and vote accordingly. We are in great danger, and we need a proper understanding of what we face in order to decide how we must respond.
Necessary Reading
This book, while introductory, is necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand how the Koran leads radical islamists to commit acts that seem horribly incomprehensible to people in the West. It is extremely important for Westerners to understand that terrorists and those who support them are not crazy, nor do they hate us for our policies vis-a-vis Israel. They hate us because we are not muslims and do not live under islamic law. Because of that, the Koran allows --even encourages -- them to kill us in whatever way they can. When they do so they are (according to the Koran) rewarded in the afterlife. The fact that most of the word's muslims do not believe or act on these Koranic passages does not mitigate the fact that they are in the Koran and hence have the entire power of the religion of islam behind them, for those who choose to believe and act. To understand why the above is true you must read this book. The muslims and multiculti apologists who criticize it have not pointed out any factual errors; their approach seems to be to say suimply that the author should not be saying these things about islam. Read the book for yourself -- you'll be glad you did.
