Take the Pledge: Read the Quran: Read and sign the pledge here:

Some people say Islam is a religion of peace and that Islam has been hijacked by extremists, terrorists, and stealth jihadists who twist and distort the peaceful teachings of the Quran and quote it out of context.

Others say that political, supremacist, and even violent teachings are fundamental to Islam, and that people who say otherwise either haven’t read the Quran or are protecting Islam with religious deception (taqiyya).

We have important decisions ahead of us, and we need to be knowledgeable voters. I therefore pledge to read the Quran and find out for myself what is true about Islam.

Why Take This Pledge?

Because some people speak confidently about Islam without any real knowledge of it, and because some who know a lot about Islam speak with another agenda besides simply speaking honestly, and because of the principle of taqiyya, the only way to know for sure what's true about Islam is to read the Quran yourself.

Once enough of us read the Quran, we will know enough to vote into office representatives who understand Islam and will propose and endorse informed policy decisions.

Please join with us and take the pledge to read the Quran. And please convince everyone you know to take the pledge.

An exceptional version of the Quran is now available. It is 203 pages, written in modern English. It contains all the information in the Quran without any repetition. And it gives you enough background information to understand what each passage is about. Perhaps most importantly, it is written in chronological order (this is important because of the principle of abrogation).

The book is An Abridged Koran published by CSPI. When you are done with this book, you will know what's in the Quran.

If you want to make sure you have read every single word of the Quran — repetition and all — we recommend: A Simple Koran, also by CSPI.

Read more about why the standard Korans are usually so difficult to decipher.

We've created a page on Facebook where we'll be posting reasons to read the Quran — not to convince you, but to help you convince your friends. If you become a friend of the page, you can share these reasons easily with your Facebook friends.

When I was growing up, we were often told about the coming of the Anti Christ. I believe he walks among us now. I dont belong to a corporate religion any more as they do not address the "foot soldiers" encounter with Islam. We are left alone to fight. And fight we will, with or without them. And, in spite of those who do not believe we can do this, Just Watch Us. We will defeat Islam. Sorry to say, Obama may be the AC. Think about it.
