Over 100 Koranic verses exhort believers to wage jihad against unbelievers. When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads and, when you have laid them low, bind your captives firmly (Koran 47:4). This is emphasized repeatedly. Jews and Christians are among those to be fought: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued (Koran 9:29). There is no doubt that Muhammad meant such verses literally. Nonetheless, the fact that warfare against unbelievers is not a twisting of Islam, but the Islamic mainstream, and is repeatedly affirmed in the Koran, Hadith, example of Muhammad, and rulings of every school of Islamic jurisprudence...

Uh. The Koran pre-dates Mein Kampf.

"...... surprisingly large number of Muslims have scant acquaintance with what it actually says. This is common to a degree that may surprise non-Muslims."
Most people probably didn't know what Mein Kampf said either.....

Still, to say that the Koran is the Mein Kampf of the jihad movement is not to deny the reality that many, if not most, people who identify themselves as Muslims are primarily interested in living ordinary lives. Most Germans who identified themselves as Nazis were primarily interested in living ordinary lives. The problem was with those who took Nazi ideology seriously.

Ignoring the evil of the system itself is just as dangerous.

I posted it but that doesn't mean that I agree with that statement. I am not a big believer in moderate Republican, let alone moderate Muslims, if they exist. I'd put them in the Nessie category.

"Moderate muslim": one who has run out of ammunition.
To: unionblue83
And my comment was meant to those who made the statment.

"... surprisingly large number of Muslims have scant acquaintance with what it actually says. This is common to a degree that may surprise non-Muslims."
There are vast areas of our planet that are nominally muslim culturally but remain illiterate in their own language, let alone classical Arabic.
It has been said that no one can truly know the Koran, and therefore know the true word of God, unless he can read Arabic.
I would be interested to know what percentage of the world's self-proclaimed muslims have actually read the Koran, in Arabic. Start there. Then how many of that fraction also are familiar with the Hadith...?

If there are no moderate muslims, as Fallaci says, then we are doomed.Actually, it would be much more accurate to say that if there are no moderate Muslims, then Islam is doomed.
Islam cannot destroy the West unless we let it. The West, or the US by itself, could utterly destroy Islam in a few hours.

How many Christians actually read the Bible?

Michael Graham got fired for saying exactly what Fallaci is lauded for saying.
At least it's being said.
