Middle East Angry Over New Book on Islam

Aug 20, 2008
"Turkish news agencies have attacked the author as being a Christian
Extremist."

AKRON, OHIO — Markus Aurelius’ explosive new book, "Bleeding for
Allah: Why Islam will Conquer the Free World, What Americans Need to
Know" has Muslims from Turkey to Saudi Arabia blistering with
rage. The new book, which took more than four years to research and
write, scrutinizes Islam from its very birth. The Koran, the holy book
of more than one billion people worldwide, is systematically analyzed
by the author to reveal the true nature of its message. "Bleeding for
Allah" goes the full distance in detailing the uncomfortable and
painful truth of that message.

Turkish news agencies have attacked the author as being a "Christian
extremist" (Ankara News) and of "promoting culture wars" (Jurnalturk).
Dozens of websites in Turkey, Syria and Saudi Arabia have condemned
the work as nothing more than propaganda of the Bush administration.
The Turks appear particularly sensitive to Aurelius’ gruesome account
of the Turkish propagated Armenian Genocide. The Turkish news outlets
reiterate that Islam is only a religion of peace.

Although touted as a peaceful religion and Islamic terrorists
dismissed as misguided fanatics, it is clear that the very words of
Allah, as voiced through the Archangel Gabriel to the Prophet
Muhammad, are anything but peaceful. Markus Aurelius’ breakthrough
work, in clear and concise fashion, gives countless examples of
Koranic verse that readily demonstrates its militancy and
violence. While Aurelius is quite sensitive to the influence of
cultural bias on interpretation, he finds it extremely difficult to
dismiss the troubling tenor of so many of the Koran’s verses, such as:

-Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your
friends.– Koran, 5:51

-Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal
sternly with them. — Koran, 66:9

-When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find
them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for
them. –Koran 9:5

In an effort to further reduce cultural bias but still illustrate the
militancy of Islam, "Bleeding for Allah" includes a unique comparative
analysis of specific words between the New Testament and the
Koran. For example, the words "punishment" and "torture" appear 600
percent more in the Koran while the word "love" appears 500 percent
less.

Additionally, Aurelius carefully examines the Prophet Muhammad’s life,
including the gruesome details of his ruthless rise to power in the
early seventh century. "The shrewd Prophet creatively found divine
words of support from Allah for his banditry and mass murder,"
Aurelius writes. "Sadly, more than one billion people believe those
words today."

Americans are woefully in the dark regarding the Koran, but few have
taken the time to read it. The author challenges the American public
to examine the Koran and draw their own conclusions.
