Namaste Friends,
Koran: Forbid or Rewrite? A Guide for Peaceful De-Islamicization provides an inside look into the Muslim religion. Raised as a Muslim, Hindu writer Dewanand answers many of the questions asked about the religion. His book is written to commemorate the Islamic attack on the Twin Towers 10 years ago, and to reconsider how best to tackle terrorism.

It wasnt an 'islamic attack'. Islam didnt attack the towers...muslims did. There is a stark difference. Islam is an ideology and cant attack buildings.
As far as releasing books to comemorate the 10 year anniversary of a dispicable act, i think its a low blow that someone would try and make money at the expense of peoples suffering, but someone's got to do it right?

is the Quran the cause of terrorism? If that is the case, why arent more muslims terrorists? Did Hitler act in the name of the church and the Bible? I think not.
i really do hope the OP coes come back. Im interested to see how he can liberate me from my faith, because apparently im still stuck in the 7th century.

you want to know what a real muslim is? its people like me, who work their butts off every day for the sake of their families and provide a decent meal on the table. People like me who want peace, solitude and understanding between humankind. People like me who accept and is accepted amongst muslim and non muslim peers. People like me who respect, share and discuss other peoples view points, and who appreciates open communication between all faiths and all walks of life. Thats what a muslim is. Normal every day people who dont want war, famine, poverty or death on their doorsteps.
I dont need you to tell me what a real muslim is, or what an anti muslim is. Those are just overused buzzwords that you use for your self stimulation when selling your book. We're all just human trying to get by without having to get labelled and harassed by people such as yourselves who think that they need to save muslims from themselves.
I think your books sounds like a mish-mash of rambling and incoherent thoughts to be honest. Trying to fuse Islam, Hinduism and 'western' together for an opportunistic grab to comemorate a massacre is as classy as a stripper in spider stockings and fake fur.
