Islam for pigs, apes, mules and other beasts
It seems that Dutch Arabist professor Hans Jansen from the university of Utrecht had enough. Enough of relativism, enough of uninformed people and enough of the over the top cowardliness, especially when voiced by the Dutch government. On his website he announced his upcoming book as “Reading the Koran for unbelievers”. But now with all the idiocy going on in The Netherlands about the Islam critical film Fitna, he seems to have changed his mind. The title of his new book is now “Islam for pigs, apes, mules and other beasts”.
The title of the book is of course a reference to how the Koran speaks about the unbelievers. A book that, so believe the Mohammedans, is the literal and eternal word of god. Thus it’s God him selves that describes unbelievers as either pigs, apes, mules or worse. This is of course, from our Western viewpoint, not a very flattering picture about Islam. But Jansen does want to provoke Muslims. He wants unbeliever to understand the religion, as far as that is even possible if you’re not grown up with these dogmatic teachings. At a very minimum people should at least understand that Islam is in important aspects very different from Christianity.
