About this listen

The Koran: It may be the most controversial book in the world. Some see it as a paean to peace, others call it a violent mandate for worldwide Islamic supremacy. How can one book lead to such dramatically different conclusions? New York Times best-selling author Robert Spencer reveals the truth in The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran: not many Westerners know what's in the Koran because few have actually read it---even among the legions of politicians, diplomats, analysts, and editorial writers who vehemently insist that the Koran preaches tolerance. Now Spencer unveils the mysteries lying behind this powerful book, guiding listeners through the controversies surrounding the Koran's origins and its most contentious passages. Stripping out the obsolete debates, Spencer focuses on the Koran's decrees toward Jews, Christians, and other infidels, explaining how they were viewed in Muhammad's time, what they've supposedly done wrong, and, most important, what the Koran has in store for them.©2009 Robert Spencer (P)2009 Tantor Freedom & Security Islam Terrorism

Great analysis

I have read the Koran and did get much from this analysis. It is an insightful and easy to understand interpretation of what I read in the Koran. Since I have read a few different translations I wanted to see what is said about the different versions. I am not surprised to find out that what I read is what it says regardless of translation and the only reason it cannot be agreed on attributed to translation is not in fact a language problem but a deception problem.

Is "complete" acurate?

Perspective felt so one-sided that its hard to judge how truely factual/balanced it is.

Shocking violence of this he Koran

I think this is a must trade for all our leaders of all nations. And what's good for Christians and Jews? Should also be the same for Muslims

We get it, you can stop.

The author droned on about the reason to hate this religion. Offering evidence from the Koran itself, I think a critical account like this can be said of most religious books.

Informative

Would you listen to The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran again? Why?

I'll probably listen to it again, there are a lot of layers to the analysis, the first read will give a good overview.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran?

The history of how the Koran actually came about and how many muslims have not read it in their native language.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it's a little too analytically intense to do in one sitting.

Interestingly informative

I've read the Koran 3 times, first to see who was right after 9-11 when it came to the news backgrounds on the killers concerning possible motives and such, the arguments among friends and strangers and of course the speeches and declarations coming from those who supported the killers proudly. I read it twice more to reafirm my understanding of what I had read with my own eyes. This audible book is a friendly voice, explaining in depth what my brain had already determined from 3 readings, and I reccommend it to anyone willing to hear something they never have, it will change their opinion of past and current politicians.

Scholarly and entertaining

This book dissects its subject matter one piece at a time, until there are no more questions about the true nature of the Koran. You'll learn the real reason for all of the violence, hatred, and fanaticism coming out of Islam.
