FP: Throughout my life in academia, myriad volumes have passed before me that contained criticisms of Christianity, within which there were various mocking and ridiculing portrayals of its tenets and values etc. Your book doesnt mock anything, but just quotes Islamic sources and lets them speak for themselves. I think that it would be essential to have this book as a must-read in the curriculum for every introductory course for first-year students in the Arts in university. Why is it that it is a given that this would never happen? For instance, in many courses where the topic of 9/11 is raised, all kinds of readings are given out that blame the U.S. for being the victim in this terrorist attack. Why wouldnt they at least offer this book as an alternative explanation?

It is a given, of course, that this book would never make it on any curricula readings in academia, even in courses on Islam which profess to give all sides of the picture. Why?

Robert Spencer: Because the academic establishment the Middle East Studies Association is not interested in really giving all sides of the picture. Since the 1970s it has been dominated by Edward Saids view that any critical look at Islam or the Muslim world by Westerners was ipso facto racist and imperialist. This idea has coalesced nicely, of course, with the multiculturalist dogma that the Judeo-Christian West is responsible for all the evils in the world, and that those outside of and set against Western civilization can only be victims, never perpetrators...

Also, it is not unheard-of for outright Islamic apologists to occupy academic positions in American universities, and to present Islamic proselytizing material in academic settings. This is in part a manifestation of the general American ignorance of Islam. Universities hire Muslim professors in order to teach about Islam and the Middle East, and the other professors know so little about the subject that they cannot perform adequate peer review even if their world view would allow them to do so in the first place. The academic establishment has become so politicized that many professors of Middle East Studies are presenting as fact highly tendentious and apologetically motivated assertions about Islamic teachings and history, and their peers either dont know or dont care, or both.

ISLAM AND LOOTING ! IN ISLAM IS OK TO CAPTURE WOMEN AS WAR BOOTY AS WELL AS PLUNDER.

8[41] And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to Allah, and to the Messenger, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the wayfarer, if ye do believe in Allah and in the revelation We sent down to our Servant on the Day of Testing, the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For Allah hath power over all things.

@SexyWifey135 Each one of us, needs to know 10 times more than them what the Quran/Sunna/hadiths and history is so we RESPECTFULLY debate them- and have them see that what they follow is a purely a political ideology of domination. Please see my posts above..

[PunjabiGabroo01]

@MiracleQuranDEBUNKED Btw when u study history of India and even of Iran the same happened. Google Ahmed Shah Abdali, Timur the lame, Nadir Shah, Mohammed Bin Tuqlaq - They would plunder Indian lands and take Hindu women as Slaves- to Afganistan, Iran- Break the Temples( Somnath- which is almost like the Vatican of hindues)- Because Allah dislike Shrik. Mohammed broke the idols of Mecca- so they are just following the RESPECT of the holy prophet.

@RoadlessPath So they themselves abandon and force change of thier faith.

[PunjabiGabroo01]

@RoadlessPath No have to educate them and have them see- is this a message from God or a potlitical ideology of domination
