Why I am Not a Muslim by Ibn Warraq
1.0
What a load of crap. In short, Why I am Not a Fan of this Book:
1. Poorly poorly written: The prose is like that of a 18 year old college dropout who forgot to take the freshman 'Critical Writing 101' class. Disorganized and at times, felt like a rough collection of truths, half-truths and other people's opinions.
2. Inaccuracies: I, unlike many others who'll read this book, actually bothered to cross-reference some of what he has cited. To sum this argument up; at one case, Ibn Warraq, the idiot that he is, actually cited a Quranic verse that does not even exists.
3. Polemical: the arguments that are structured are those of a seasoned politician whose target is the masses with single-digit IQs devoid of the ability to think and reason. His reasoning, at times, is no different than that of Donald Trump and Michael Savage.
4. Questionable sources: Ibn Warraq has heavily relied on third-grade scholars and moreover, he dissed the scholars that are actually considered as the respected ones. LOL, how can you take the person who considers Bat Ye'or a 'serious scholar' seriously?
In short, if you are looking for a critical study of Islam, go elsewhere. Any serious skeptic, Muslim or non-Muslim, believer or atheist, wouldn't take Ibn Warraq seriously.
