A review by bartimaeus2002
The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran by Robert Spencer

3.0

(Aud) So, I'll preface this by saying that I don't know anything about the author, apart from what I briefly scanned through other Goodreads reviews. I honestly thought it was a 'Koran for Dummies' type guide - what I got was equal parts 'dummies guide', 'angry white dude' rant, and well researched theological review. It's an op-ed basically and like most op-eds there are parts that I've learned from, there are parts that I find abhorrent and there are parts that make a lot of sense. So, a 3-star it is. Like any holy-book review, it's all about the interpretation and more importantly the application of that interpretation. We are human and the mechanisms we have created can generally be used for good or evil based on our mood.
