“It was intended as an introductory book, mostly for non-Muslims,” Sultan says, “but what I found very interesting is that a lot of Muslims, both young and old, found the book to be beneficial and still to this day write to me asking questions and engaging with it.”


Yes, the book IS useful to Muslims, to help them keep the lies and deceptions straight, to effectively fool Koranically illiterate infidels into believing that the ROP is peaceful, and “extremists” are an aberration.

So... Jihad means the peaceful, non-violent conversion of unbelievers. It’s not about convert, pay Jizya (nonbeliever tax), or die. There are so called Christians who claim homosexual acts aren’t sinful, too. We call them heretics.

I completely agree. ISIS is a fundamentalist Islamic organization. Muslims who don’t follow the Koran are like Christians who don’t believe in Christ.

I have no doubt there are many Muslim heretics in the world. They may say they’re Muslim because they were raised that way, but if one were to question them on which Islamic tenets they follow, one would find they’re basically unbelievers. They are similar to Christians who believe Christianity evolves with the times and no longer believe fornication, divorce, or homosexuality are sinful.

Two books by that title, one by Robert Spencer the other by Abdel Speaker. Which do you recommend?

“My book makes very clear that jihad that the Koran talks about would never allow for the brutality and the type of violent extremism that we find ISIS and other violent groups partaking in."

Another taqiyya based islamist liar.

That is where your assumption could cause you your life.

A muzzie who ‘finds religion’ must go on a killing spree as per the Koran, a Christian who gives up on his religion just becomes a lax Christian but does not become a danger to his environment.

In a recent article for TIME, Sultan wrote that the Koran "warns its readers to not be swayed by charismatic figures who, in reality, only spread evil in the world."

>> Too ironic a statement, for any sort of reply.
