I have begun reading the Koran in an attempt to understand where the Muslims are coming from. As an atheist, my reading is trickly for informational purposes and I can read it from an objective point-of-view. I am approximately 150 pages into it currently.
Before it I read "End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason" which discusses Islam and terrorists, citing the Koran several times.
In the Koran, "unbelievers" or, non-Muslims, are banished to eternal hell and punishment and aren't even allowed to be friends with Muslims. They are, however, said not to attack first, but if provoked, you must be willing to die for your God and dying for Allah is the greatest thing.
