No I did not read that book. Me, coming from a staunch Muslim family just wanted to know what a Western guy i.e Robert Spencer thinks about Islam. That is the reason I read it.
Being a Muslim myself until I was 21, I know about majority of the things that Robert Spencer talks in his Onward Muslim Soldiers book. However, it was encouraging to see that people in the West are slowly but clearly coming to understand Islam is unlike other religions- a violent and murderous idealogy of Jihad.
While other major world religions like Christianity, Hinduism and Budhism do not motivate their followers to kill, Islam is the one and only religion that advocates killing infidels aka non-Muslims. There are around 150 verses in Quran that preach murder.
It is interesting and ridiculous to see CAIR spokesman and his fellow Islamists always mentioning how Islam's Allah is compassionate and how Islam is peaceful just like Christianity is.
As for me, I do believe in God but do not believe in any religion.
Growing up in a diverse multi-religionist, multi-cultural/traditional country like India gave me an excellent opportunity to study various religions;some indepth and some I studied to understand the main theme of a religion.
Based on my understanding, it is my opinion that entire Christianity may be summed up into one simple verse and entire Islam can be summed up into the last Sura according to Mohammed's al-Quraan. The verse in Chapter 13 of I Corinthians "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
To sum it up, while Christianity preaches "Forgiveness", Islam preaches "intolerance against non-Muslims whether in the form of Muslims treating non-Muslims as second class citizens in their own countries or in the form of Muslims believing in the violent Jihad against non-Muslims.

Thanks for such a thoughtful reply. Maybe I should try his Onward Christian Soldiers book first. I am sending you a private reply.

Oh they're out there all right.
Ever since Malkin said that every Muslim should be rounded up and put into concentration camps for the rest of their lives, they have become more vocal about it.
I guess they're too blinded by their own hate to realize that what they're advocating is genocide and in the end history would regard us as being worse than the Nazis ever were.

This Marines actions are honorable, but they do not get Islam off the hook for all of the havoc that the religion has brought on the world in recent years. Most Muslims on the planet are not out there killing Americans, but a lot of them seem to condone people doing it in the name of the religion. The Muslims who are moderate are essentially nonpracticing Muslims because the Sharia Law (The Law of the Quran)condones and commands horrific acts, like beheading people who convert from Islam and stoning women for adultry.

It seemed a little strange. It had an aura of liberal, Islamist-apologist propaganda.

Here is my solution, the Roman Solution (referencing the Roman destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem in 70 AD)
1. Western Countries "Everytime Muslims kill foreigners in the name of Islam, we will drop a bomb on the Ka'bah."
2. We will continue to bomb mecca everytime a terrorist act is carried out, until the bloodshed is stopped.
3. When we Christians suicide bomb Muslim populations, we will bomb one of our own churches to avenge you,
4. And by the way, our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan cover their bullets in pig's blood.

Remember kids, it's not genocide if it's against the "Muslimes". Gas chambers, concentration camps, and firing squads are perfectly okay if it's "Muslimes".
