A Reading List for Inquiring Minds

There has been a lot of talk about Islam lately, mostly because it keeps wanting to kill us or conquer us. Such actions tend to promote discussion, and I would argue a righteous and well-deserved backlash.

But before things go nuclear, and our media runs cover for the mushroom cloud, I recommend acquiring knowledge on the subject via books.

That said, I've compiled a list for your reading pleasure:

1.) Any work by Bill Warner, PhD. A mathematician by trade, Dr. Warner made it his life's mission to break Islam down using scientific methods and mathematical analysis. He then compiled several wonderful books that can be read in 1 hour or less. My favorite title is "Sharia Law for Non-Muslims," but all of his stuff is worthwhile.

2.) "A Civilizational Reckoning: Recognizing the Threat, Reclaiming the Future" by Elaine Ellinger. You'll find a little bit of everything in here, and Mrs. Ellinger makes it easy to go further by clearly referencing all pertinent material. This book is perfect for someone just getting started in their studies on Islam.


3.) The Koran. Be advised that a classical one will not read chronologically or from beginning to end. Rather, it skips around, and for this reason, readers often find it confusing. Several authors have made strides to rearrange the timeline of this book. I recommend Bill Warner's "A Simple Koran," or Tommy Robinson's "Mohammed's Koran" if you want an easier version. The Noble Koran is a good classical version.

4.) Reliance of the Traveler. This book discusses Sharia Law and all its quirks. You'll get further insight into why Princess Jasmine almost lost her hand. That's a real punishment based on Sharia Law, and it's not the worst...

5.) The Sira. This is a collection of stories or biographies of Mohammed. Since Mohammed is considered a "perfect human being" to be emulated in every way by the Muslim community, this explains a lot of their behavior.

6.) The Hadith. 60% of the total text of Islam. This is actually a larger text than the Koran, and here you can find all kinds of goodies- like how to lie and slaughter puppies! No, those last two words were not a typo...sadly....

Well, there you have it, infidels! I hope you find this helpful. Until next time...
