The subject of this book is an old book which has exploded into the western world in the last 15 years or so.
Robert Spencer disects the texts which inspire more than a few lunatics in Asia and Africa - and not sympathetically, as a study of the cover art will reveal. Many non-Muslims, believing the Koran preaches intolerance and warfare, regard it as about as holy as Hitler's Mein Kampf. In fact the direct comparison has been made more than once. And that is more or less what Robert Spencer thinks too.
It's certainly an interesting - and alarming - analysis.
