This is a NECESSARY book, because I confirm (after reading most of the Arabic to English translations) that many (if not most) of the Muslim translation of the Koran dishonestly MISCHARACTERIZE the original meaning in order to make it less violent and and less incomprehensible.
In fact, the Koran is so confusing that it cannot be understood in the original version, and thus it cannot be translated accurately. As well, the Koran is so violent, bigoted, misogynistic and sadistic, it is not ethically acceptable in the 21st century.

Video: Robert Spencer discusses The Critical Qur’an on ‘William Ramsey Investigates’
…………….
Great interview with Robert Spencer!
And the West continues to whitewash Islamic violence. Suicidal madness.
And it is true that most in the West have *no idea* that “strive hard in the way of Allah” means wage Jihad against the Infidels.
And of course many Qur’ans add commentary such as “lightly” to modify “beat wives”. Just dishonest.
Then, the Islamic narrative does not hold up historically–but Muslims do not want *anyone* studying this.
No such problem studying early Christianity and Judaism.
Then, some of this investigation has revealed some very interesting aspects of early Islam, including the Qur’an.
And of course the fact that the Qur’an is so very violent. When I first read the Qur’an I knew nothing about the chronological order of the Qur’an or about abrogation, but it still was obvious just how horribly violent this foul tome is.
And it is true that Muslims do not consider Islam to be a young faith, but claim that all Jewish prophets and Jesus were actually Muslim.
And the Islamic claim that Jews and Christians “corrupted” their texts, which were all originally Islamic is completely unhistorical, but this is also the basis for much violence–the claim that Jews and Christians know that Islam is correct, but deny it out of perversity. Very disturbing.
And dhimmitude and Jizya ensure that Jews and Christians are treated with humiliation–Muslims who claim that Jizya is just the same as Zakat is complete Taqiyya. When Muslims are in charge they don’t pretend this is the case.
And it is true that besides everything else that Islam is very defensive–its hatred of Infidels and exaggerated virtual deification of the vicious character of “Prophet” Muhammed, whether he was a historical figure or not.
Looking forward to reading this book.

Very disconcerting to realise that now most mullahs have now realised that there is no longer any reason to be apologetic about the true message in the Qoran. The rest of the world now lives in fear, the halal economy alone is sufficient the true and only jihad, and the rest of the world is tied in knots over political correctness and Islamophobia, even the most powerful nations are trying to discover ways to placate Muslims, while the muslims revel in pleasure at this “dhimmi” resignation.
It’s high time that the leftists who are singularly responsible for the Islamists narrative building, as well as the Islamists themselves, are recognised and called out globally. Unless of course we have all resigned to subscribe to this cult’s rules and be a submissive dhimmi.
I feel so sad and despondent.

Just a correction on my earlier post. The second sentence be read as:
“The rest of the world now lives in fear, the halal economy alone is sufficient to finance the true and only jihad”
Jonsays
They tell us they are muslim. They read and live by a Book that commands them to hate and be violent towards disbelievers. They then say we disbelievers are “islamophobic.”
It’s like saying to a Uyghur they are a Sinophobe.
They affirm they are a monoculture. (This means unless you are a muslim you cannot participate amongst them.) Then they tell us we must have “strength in diversity” and “cultural enrichment.”
The rank hypocrisy is obscene and beyond breathtaking – and this hypocrisy needs to be called out. This is not morally acceptable in the 21st Century.
They are offended by everything but ashamed of nothing.
