Actually, people DO need to know more about Islam - a lot more.
Right now the liberals and media-idiots manage to stick their heads in the sand about the “details” of the subject. The more that the average American knows about this fruitcake religion, the sooner it will be rejected!
Yup. Just as focusing on Al-Qaeda alone as offensively Muslim is a mistake, focusing on the Koran alone is an even bigger mistake.
The Koran is only 14% of the written word that rules and inspires Muslim daily life. The majority of Islamic doctrine on war, punishment, etc is in the Siras and the Hadiths, and they are the triumvirate pillars of Islam completely unrecognized by our politicians in general, out govt. and most of Western Culture...at our existential peril.
Some useful links:
http://cspipublishing.com/statistical/index.html This one has SEMINAL info on the Trilogy of the Koran, Siras, Hadith, completely analyzed. Part one shows the very small contribution to understatnding Islam and its political and cultural behavior that the Koran alone makes!!
Other links among hundreds that allow one to follow Islam’s almost unimpeded advancement into the cultures of the West while we chase a tiny part of Islam’s offensive.
