The Criminals of Islam by Dr. Shabbir Ahmed

By Shabbir Ahmed M.D.

Introduction

Dear Reader,

This book is being written exclusively with the Muslim reader in mind. Although no intellectual endeavour should be confined to a certain group of people, Muslims will be in a better position to understand the contents presented here.

The reader can choose one of two reactions. The easy but futile one is anger and denial. The difficult but productive reaction would be that of sincere contemplation about how to stop this dubious conspiracy. The author will welcome suggestions from any quarter.

Being a student of history, philosophy and religion, I have encountered some bizarre, outrageous and awful statements in many so-called “authentic” and “respected” books of Islam.

I believe that enlightened Muslims could have never said, or written what we see in these works. I would have cared the least about personalities.

However, these crude stories bring a bad name to the glorious religion of Islam, the Qur'an, the Holy Messenger Mohammad, and his companions. People reading these "insults to human intelligence" find them highly distasteful and get a very negative picture of Islam, which in my opinion is the only hope for the future of humanity.

It is amazing to see that most Muslims are not even remotely aware of the problem. I would have failed in my duty as a Muslim and as a truth-seeking individual if I had kept this painful discovery to myself. Concealment of the truth in scholarship is a crime according to the Qur'an (2:42).

As a rule, a true Muslim will under no circumstances propagate shirk (polytheism), immodesty, and absolute nonsense. He or she would not indulge in making a mockery of faith in Allah and His messengers. Therefore, my understanding is that enemies of Islam (from within and without) are tampering with our sacred books. How long has it been going on? It is difficult for us to determine at this stage.
