Your fluency and the knowledge of the intricacies of the Arabic language are impressive. Hats off. I think your love of the language for it's own sake matches your detestation of Islam, even though these two are not related. I hope you start an arabic website to pump some sense into vast numbers of Indian and Pakistani arab wannabees who imagine themsleves to be crypto arabs. The only Indian Muslim who has seen through the verbal smokescreen of the Islamic writing and their western sympathisers is Anwar Sheikh. His writings include

  • Islam: The Arab National Movement
  • Islam: Sex and Violence
  • Islam and Human Rights
  • This is Jihad
  • Islam:The Arab Imperialism
  • Eternity
  • Faith and Deception
  • Taxation and Liberty
  • Submitting....
