inveterate aversion and deeply rooted hatred

I found a lot of rubbish sayings and explanations from people who are religious merchants in those 20 pages! And when Holland used the USA's allegory, I almost felt off laughing!

This book is so good!

This oath became known as the famous Pledge of the Tree in Islamic
annals. Muhammad had excited his followers’ religious fervor in the camp
to such a degree that all of them were in a suicidal mood to rush upon the
enemy at once. Just about this time, Othman returned to the camp avoiding a sheer bloodbath.

great intoductory for the barbaric Saudi-arabian religion that inflicted our region with corruption and destruction but I hope someday someone has the nerve to write the same book about Zionists and what Israel does to women and children every hour because those people want to live their lives without boundaries like Jews do! What a fucking hypocritical world with double-standard people we live in!

Suppose a man from anywhere in Saudi Arabia, goes to Mecca and declares in front of an assembly of Muslims that he has received revelations from the true God; that Islam is false; that the Ka’ba is the sanctuary of his own God; and that Muslims should abandon their false creed and embrace his new religion.One should have no difficulty in figuring out what would happen to this alleged new prophet!

According to a prophetic tradition, Waraqa said to Muhammad: ‘That is the same angel whom Allah sent to Prophet Moses. Should I live till you receive the Divine Message, I will support you strongly’ [Bukhari 4:605]. However, Waraqa never embraced Islam and died as a Christian.
