The new and controversial book "Why We Left Islam: Former Muslims Speak Out" has rocketed to the No. 1 spot among best-sellers at Shop.WND.com for its lessons about what one contributor calls a mindless religion.Compiled and edited by Susan Crimp and Joel Richardson, it includes stories of former Muslims who have chosen to speak out.One contributor, Basharee, says, "People who have not lived in Dar Al-Islam cannot and will not understand the level of indoctrination Muslims undergo for their entire lives… If you've never used your mind but rather simply lived under the culture of submission ("Islam" means "submission"), your ability to think withers." he wrote.The book, even before its release, hit the No. 1 spot on Amazon's Islamic category, and it has created consternation among organized Islamic lobby groups such as the Council of American Islamic Relations, with spokesman Ibrahim Hooper denouncing it.But the work by Crimp and Richardson details the shocking and brutally honest stories from insiders who have decided to tell the world about their experiences."The Quran is full of verses that teach killing of unbelievers and how Allah would torture them after they die. There are no lessons on morality, justice, honesty, or love," wrote Ali. "The only message of the Quran is to believe in Allah and his messenger.""Quite shockingly I realized my beloved prophet is a misfit," said Divyan. "He failed to show me anything other than the dark side of human nature.""Powerfully written and deeply compelling, these accounts of people of conscience who left Islam are rendered all the more poignant by the realization that each one of them, whatever their status or situation, lives under the death sentence mandated by the Muslim Prophet Muhammad for apostates from Islam," noted Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and author of the New York Times best-sellers "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)" and "The Truth about Muhammad.""This book should be required reading for human rights activists and all those who value the dignity of the human person, so that they will see why this horrific denial of the freedom of conscience within Islam must be resisted by all people of good will," he said.Another contributor, Khaled Waleed, said he was indoctrinated with the same type of teaching as fellow Saudi Arabian Osama bin Laden."Our teacher and other Islamic scholars told us that as Muslims, we are the best people in the world," he writes. "I listened to my imams and was disturbed when they used abusive language to describe non-Muslims as the grandsons of monkeys and pigs...they told me that it was my duty to revile and ridicule non-Muslims."Waleed says the attack on the World Trade Center changed him: "On Sept. 11, 2001, I saw the real face of Islam. I saw the happiness on the faces of our people because so many infidels were slaughtered so easily. I saw many people who started thanking Allah for this massacre."To read more go to:
