Ignorant or Deceitful Regarding the Koranic Doctrines of Jihad and Dhimmitude?
Mohammed Zuhdi Jasser has just released his first book [2] with the understated title, A Battle for the Soul of Islam: An American Muslim Patriot’s Fight to Save His Faith.
Dr. Jasser’s egomania aside, the striking disingenuousness which characterizes the book is epitomized by his summary comments [2] on the Koran which glibly dismiss multiple verses that sanction the jihad conquest of non-Muslims, including their subjugation and justified humiliation for a myriad of so-called “offenses.”
The Qur’an…is not actually a text that was written with the idea of conquering those of other faiths. Throughout the Qur’an, the debt to Christians and Jews, for their teachings and prophets, is acknowledged over and over again in their common origin from the God of Abraham.
