About this listen

 The Koran: It may be the most controversial book in the world. Some see it as a paean to peace, others call it a violent mandate for worldwide Islamic supremacy. How can one book lead to such dramatically different conclusions? New York Times best-selling author Robert Spencer reveals the truth in The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran: not many Westerners know what's in the Koran because few have actually read it---even among the legions of politicians, diplomats, analysts, and editorial writers who vehemently insist that the Koran preaches tolerance. Now Spencer unveils the mysteries lying behind this powerful book, guiding listeners through the controversies surrounding the Koran's origins and its most contentious passages. Stripping out the obsolete debates, Spencer focuses on the Koran's decrees toward Jews, Christians, and other infidels, explaining how they were viewed in Muhammad's time, what they've supposedly done wrong, and, most important, what the Koran has in store for them.©2009 Robert Spencer (P)2009 Tantor Freedom & Security Islam Politics & Government War & Crisis Middle East Iran Middle Ages Inspiring

Spencers trot through the Koran is highly informative although focused on Medina Muslim concepts. A worthwhile read for anyone interested in the theological underpinning of Jihad and misogyny

Thorough coverage of the koran

This book is well researched and shows how the Koran is utterly against the "followers of 'The Book' " (The Bible). It quotes ' chapter and verse" where it wages war on these non-believers (any religion except Islam). An informative book thzat shows how the original t ext has been modified to become. ore acceptable to the non-Arabic speakers. The original text remains unchanged in Mlilenia.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran to be better than the print version?

Yes. I think I would not have stuck with it had this been in print. The Koran is very dissjointed and that makes this kind of subject hard to follow. Listening to it allowed me to stay the course...

What did you like best about this story?

The simple explanations of how the book is constructed and what is really behind the different sections of the Koran.

What about Lloyd James’s performance did you like?

Very smooth delivery of a difficult subject.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Koran - down with the infidels!..

Any additional comments?

Having now listened to this exlanation, it is clear that there are verses that preach hate to anyone non-muslim. However, it is nearly always young impressionable muslims that carry out these terrible attrocities, so the muslim community really need to deal with this problem.

Easily shown as a justification for Jihad
