Islam claims a quarter of the world’s population. Yet emerging from that statistic is an Islam devoid of faith. There are many disbelievers among the masses of Muslims across the world. The article claims Hawkin’s book ‘the God delusion’ is one of the most downloaded books in the Arab world. This should cause the Christian to pause and consider if there is any other book that would be far more helpful to the Muslim abandoning the Islamic faith.

Key textual concepts upheld by the Taliban, and the like, are described as ‘their form’ of Islam, as if it is a new, or invented, set of beliefs. Ancient traditional beliefs are set aside to a bygone world, as if that which was written in the past, is no longer relevant for today. Except that which was written in the past, is currently having a very real and negative impact the world over; The Taliban, Al-shabab, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS and more, are constant reminders of the content of Islamic ‘holy writ’. The Moderate Muslim will need to reject much that ‘writ’ to make up a religion, which is deemed acceptable to Western eyes.
