Westerners need to understand the beliefs of other religions, especially Islam. We take for granted the freedom and prosperity of our culture and falsely believe most everyone else shares our values of moral relativism and multi-culturalism. The book is an open window into Islamic Culture and its responce to Christianity.
In free societies one may choose any religion, the state has no interest in religion, so long as it doesnt try to force itself upon the state. In Muslim countries, even those pretending to be 'secular' anyone who dares to convert to a non-Islamic religion is persecuted and in many cases imprisoned. In Muslim countries such as Malaysia and Pakistan, this 'religion of peace' has made it illegal for a Muslim to be converted to another religion. These are true stories of what it is like to live in these societies, from real people who experienced this persecution. The message is clear, we must open our eyes to the truth going on in the Islamic world, and to a culture that is in opposition to all those values of the rest of the world. This is not about Jesus, this is not about how wonderful Christianity is, rather it is about tolerance. In Western Universities students are propogandized about the 'tolerance' of Islam and the 'protection of the peoples of the book'. In The West Students are encouraged to convert to Islam, and every major Western college such as Oxford of Harvard has million dollar muslim endowments for the spread of Islam among the students in the guise of 'education'. Until westerners read book such as these they will never understand that verys oon their society will revert to the intolerant baseness and reactionary fascism of regimes that are in place in nations such as Malaysia and Saudi.
