Review:

Without a doubt the most disturbing book I have ever read.

Slavery, amputation, torture, whippings, subjugation of women, glorification of war and conquest. If these are of interest this is the book for you!

I didn’t like Islam before, now I don’t like it by an order of magnitude more.

I’m trying to think of something positive to say, but it’s just nasty, vile, and offensive to all human decency.

If you think Hitler didn’t dig Jews, wait until you have a look inside this little volume. Yikes.

No central narrative, no plot, no direction whatsoever. Just 114 Surahs, or revelations. In no order or even any coherent form.
