This book by Peter McLoughlin and Tommy Robinson is a thoughtful and easy-to-read discussion of some of the difficult passages in the Koran/Quran. It is not an anti-muslim book. It is not a hateful book. It is certainly not inciting violence - just the opposite; it is warning against the likelihood of violence. Criticism of Nazism in the 1930s was not hateful then; criticisms of the ideology of islam are not hateful now. If you are seeking an understanding of why terrorism is almost exclusively committed by islamists, or why islam's borders are bloody and always have been, then this is essential reading. It demonstrates that hatred and violence are intrinsic to islam in a way they are not to any other religion. There is a huge difference between the descriptions of violence or savage and manipulative sexual behaviour in the Old Testament, for example, which no Jew or Christian takes as being a model for behaviour, and the prescriptions to commit violence inscribed in the Koran which apply as commandments to all muslims in every time and every place. There is a huge difference between Jesus, the model for all Christians - gentle, respectful of women and the poor, self-sacrificing, and Mohammed, a serial torturer, murderer, slave owner and rapist, who is the "perfect example of conduct" for all muslims. Until islamic leaders acknowledge this and reach a point where they can disown the behaviour of Mohammed and these parts of Koranic teaching, there will be no peace between the house of submission (islam) and the house of war (every other belief system). This is an important and timely book, which will no doubt make a great many people uncomfortable, and even angry...
