This is a must read for Muslims and non-muslims who believe that accommodating muslim demands will lead to improved relations. Ali Sina knows the Koran and the Hadiths very well, and dishes up several nuggets, like the title quoteed from Tabaqat Vol.1 p 368. Sina also has a good command of psychology / psychiatry. He makes a very good case that Muhammad suffered from Temporal Lobe eplipesy, acromegaly and impotence. He also draws strong parallels with other violent cults. Consider that Muslims react much more strongly to critique of the prophet than to critique of the Koran of of Allah. He points out that the night flight to the temple of Jerusalem took place at a time when there was no temple of Jerusalem. On 27 August, 2009, Fadak TV, a London based Arabic television read a fatwa that appeared on the Lions of Sunna Internet forum. Someone asked if sodomy was permitted if the purpose was to enlarge the anus so that explosives could be inserted....read yourself for the answer. Salman Taseer, a prominent Pakistani politician who fought against the blasphemy law was gunned down by his body guard, who became a national hero. Suicide bombers wrap their penis in aluminum foil to shield it from the blast of the bomb, so it will be immediately serviceable in heaven. Laugh Laugh, Ha Ha, but the fact that a large community supports such narratives is not funny at all. Sina correctly identifies the "moderates" as the real problem. These are muslims who have never read the Koran but nonetheless believe that it is the word of god. They think islam is being victimized by - who else - the CIA and the Jews.This is the great mass of ignorant cowards. We must get them to read the Koran.
One point of criticism, Sina tends to wax hyperbolic "if western civilization falls, humanity will revert to a dark age from which there will be no recovery" . This sort of thing doesn't work ; let the reader draw his/her conclusions, just give the facts. Detractors will quote such statements and to show that Sina is ranting, ignoring everything else.
His website says that he offers $50,000 to any one who can find a factual mistake - so far no takers.
