SECRETS OF THE
KORAN
If one ignores the central message of this book, one does so to one's own peril. Some have said ignorance is bliss. They are wrong. Ignorance can cost one dearly. And this applies to the topic of Islam.
Whenever one discusses Islam, two choices are left: (1) speak the truth and make some people very upset, or (2) sugarcoat the facts and be quite popular. Don Richardson chose the former.
He is a truth speaker. This will not make him popular, but it will make him historically correct on the issues. I have only two more words to say about Don's book: read it.
DR. JIM GARLOW
AUTHOR, A CHRISTIAN'S RESPONSE TO ISLAM
Secrets of the Koran, written by one of the foremost missionary statesmen of our day, is a timely book for all those who love the truth. The same Jesus who had to go through Samaria (John 4:4) went out of His way to minister to one woman (love) and then told her, when she confidently referred Him to their place of worship, You Samaritans worship what you do not know (v. 22) (truth). Don Richardson's book will serve to educate Western Christians and leaders about the truth concerning the Islamic religion while maintaining the imperative of reaching the Muslim masses with the gospel.

There is little doubt that a major obstacle to reaching unsaved people in the world today is the dark spiritual power behind Islam named Allah. The first step toward binding this strong man is to understand what we are dealing with under the surface. I know of no better place to start than Don Richardson's powerful book Secrets of the Koran.

The Koran's 109 War Verses
On September 11, 2001, the world took a major turn. In the spiritual realm, a demonic force made a new declaration of its existence, purpose and resolve. In the natural realm, the free world faced a new challenge threatening its very survival. This so-called faceless enemy is not a philosophy, such as communism, but one that has a fearful theological ideology that has penetrated, to one degree or another, the hearts of 1.2 billion people around the world.
In the political arena there are always compromises because of the nature of the system. Truth can be a relative issue depending upon whom it will benefit. For example, after September 11, politicians and news reporters declared that Islam is a peaceful religion and that groups such as al-Qaeda are just the fanatical offbeat type that do not represent true Islam. Few ask upon what basis their assessment is made. Are politicians and reporters relying upon their personal knowledge of the teaching and the traditions of Mohammed, the most holy prophet of Islam? Or are they relying upon the teaching of the most holy script of Islam, the Koran? Or the 1,400-year history of Islam?
In the United States, our judicial system is based upon facts, not hearsay, emotions, feelings or think sos! In other words, we as jury members in the court of public opinioncannot base our assessment of the intentions of a religion with which we are unfamiliar upon the opinions of our political analysts. We must have facts because the lives of millions of people depend upon our assessment.
If Islam is a peaceful religion, then why did Mohammed engage in 47 battles? Why, in every campaign the Muslim armies have fought throughout history, have they slaughtered men, women and children who did not bow their knees to the lordship of Islam? The reign of terror of men such as Saddam, Khomeini, Ghadafi, Idi Amin and many other Muslim dictators are modern examples. If Islam is peaceful, why are there so many verses in the Koran about killing the infidels and those who resist Islam? If Islam is peaceful, why isn't there even one Muslim country that will allow freedom of religion and speech? Not one! If Islam is peaceful, who is imparting this awful violence to hundreds of Islamic groups throughout the world who kill innocent people in the name of Allah?
The undeniable truth is recorded in the history of what Mohammed did in his lifetime and what, as laid out in the Koran, the god of Islam requires of his followers. The Islam that Mohammed proclaimed in the seventh century is something for all of us to take a closer look at because that version of Islam is more violent and has more resolve than many might think.
Seventh-century Islamic despotism continued until the fall of the Ottoman Empire, then lay relatively dormant for a season. But since the statehood of Israel was established in 1948, the Islam of Mohammed of the seventh century has been on the rise. It showed its capability and its nature with the revolution of the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1978 in Iran. And ever since, men such as Ghadafi and Osama bin Laden have been blowing the dust off the sword of a forceful world-invading religionthis true Islam is on the rise. The question is how do we deal with it?
