Then why are you procrastinating Mystic? You have a supportive environment for the work and it just may help evolve your religion to something a bit more up-to-date and less Iron Age nonsense.

No reason. I already wrote a book with 28 problems (originally intended for my family), but it's grammar is horrible and I got to make it more friendly, and polite and eloquent (and it's not something that would get published).

If you live in Canada, go for it. Nobody has murdered Pat Condell. If people don't criticize Islam because of fear, basically Muslims win the discussion by default, and not because they are capable of intellectually representing their arguments. I'm know that critiques by Arabic speakers already exist but I hate that whiny "oh boo hoo, you don't speak Arabic so you aren't allowed to say anything about Islam" argument so much. It's just what Muslims say when they can't defend actual points.

I'm sure there are a number of people on here that would be willing to help you edit, myself included!

Well you aren't very nice, going against people's beliefs, no matter how much sugar you put into them, you still going to offend them. What happens to your philosophy now? Big Grin

That does put you in a unique position of insider knowledge. And you speak/write Arabic?

Have you read "Why I Am Not a Muslim" by Ibn Warraq? I'm thinking of reading it. Heard it was good.

You should do it. It could be groundbreaking. I've edited a few books, if you need help.
