Story of Mohammed Islam Unveiled

This process has been so effective that now, when people hear someone criticizing Islam, they
instinctively believe that person to be an evil and dangerous bigot. Consequently they will do
anything they can to avoid listening to your arguments.
For people to come around to your point of view, they will have to admit that they are the ones
who were wrong. Those who understand human nature will know that threading the proverbial
camel through the eye of a needle is easier than forcing such an admission from most people.
This reaction came as a shock to me, and I still find it hard to believe just how effective this
process has been. Listening to otherwise intelligent and rational people refusing point blank to
listen to a perfectly logical statement, as if they might become infected by it, is an eye opener. This
will probably be a shock to you also, but once I understood this reaction I found ways to get around
it.
When I started writing this book, I sent it out as a series of emails to friends, who would write
back criticizing me for being so intolerant and bigoted. I therefore carefully rewrote it to be as
neutral as possible. I studiously avoided criticizing Islam, especially in the early sections to prevent
people’s brainwashed reactions kicking in. This careful approach has worked well, with many
people learning the truth who would otherwise have been hostile to it.
At first glance, this approach may seem wrongheaded. After all what’s the point of telling people
about Islam if not to criticize it?
The advantage is however, is that once people understand Islam, you don’t need to tell them it is
bad, just let them make up their own minds. Having explained how Muslims are obliged to emulate
Mohammed’s behaviour, all you have to do is show them his biography, and even the most
politically correct will understand the problem.
Whenever I want to introduce someone to the subject of Islam, I always tell them that I have
“been researching Islam” or have been “reading a lot about it” and tell them how interesting it is.
Most people are keen to know more about Islam as much of what they have heard doesn’t seem
quite right.
At this point I try to avoid getting into much discussion outside of the basics. I might tell them
that Muslims must emulate Mohamed and how the Koran is so difficult to understand. Then I offer
to give them some interesting material.
I always recommend this book, not because it is my own, but because it is the best way I know of
to explain the subject to beginners, especially sceptical ones. It also carries the advantage of being
available for free on the net at:

Few people will read a book this long on the computer unfortunately.
There are other books, by people like Bill Warner, Daniel Scott, or Brigitte Gabriel which are
superior in different ways, but as a starter to the subject I think it does the job better than any other.
By all means recommend a different book, but be sure it is not too confronting, especially in the
early parts as it can be a real turn off for the more politically correct.
Above all, avoid criticizing Islam until you can see that a person has come to see the truth, and
even then allow them to take the lead so to speak. If people are not interested don’t push it on
them. Often times they will see something themselves which will cause them to question and will
come back at a later date to ask you. Having planted the seed, it will often grow down the track
without any further help from you.
Any time people are hostile to the truth, again don’t push them too much. Leave them with
suitable material and let them decide. Drop the subject and keep your friendship. Later on down the
track it is surprising how many will come to the truth on their own. If you push them it will only
strengthen their barriers. Taking this approach will save you much heartache and make you far
more effective in spreading awareness of the dangers of Islamic expansion.
