Negative Positive
Title: a big joke
Review: What an inspiring example of "bravery" (as one reader called it) by ibn warraq, writing against the death threats of endless rows of maniacs and illiterate fundamentalists, showing the "secrets" of Islam, which the islamic intellectual tradition, with all its thousands of scholars, spanning 1400 years, with access to all the original texts of islam, could somehow not find. Unfortunately this book makes a joke of intellectual honesty, it being a rehash of all of the lowest, cheapest, and idiotic of so-called "arguments" by orientalist polemics, the ones who point out grammatical errors in the Quran and themselves having no more than a 3rd grade knowledge of arabic, and has nothing to do with personal experience. It would make much more sense for the person who would truly wants to learn about Islam to read the Quran...
