followers in less than ten years. So for us non-Muslims, the
intended victims of Islam, it is obvious that this later part of
the Koran is the most important. So, if you are only going
to read part of the Koran, we urge you to read the first
part, called here The Later Koran – Mohammed’s Success.
Our aim is that you should understand the threat to non-
Muslims within minutes of reading this Koran rather than
you spend months trying to wade through the traditional
jumbled-up (encrypted) Koran.
Remember, that any verse which says something like
“strive in Allah’s way” is in fact a verse of poetry which is
commanding Muslims to conduct jihad.^380 Any reference to
“Gardens” is a reference to the Paradise of the after-life (a
place with rivers flowing with fresh milk and wine,
surrounded by fruit trees, an oasis). In Islam the only
guaranteed entry to Paradise is to die fighting for Islam. In
the doctrines of Islam, unbelievers burn in Hell; only those
Muslims who die as jihadis are guaranteed entry to Gardens
of Paradise. To show how Islam is obsessed with the
opposition between belief in Islam versus other beliefs
(religious, secular, political, atheistic), all words referring to
the opposition between Muslims (believers) versus non-
Muslims (disbelievers, idolaters) have been rendered in this
kind of typeface: BELIEVERS. [Where we summarize
some highly significant or poetic part of a verse, we enclose
that summary in square brackets, as we have done with this
sentence.]
Towards the end of this Koran you will encounter the
earlier verses, some of which have been marked as
“cancelled”. Verses marked in this way are cancelled
