Editorial Review:
Product Description: An instant buried in fourteen centuries of desert sands comes to life with its bygone splendor.
As interesting as any outstanding thriller, the historical Koran is presented in modern sparkling English with its selected chapters and verses reordered to glamorize the intrigues, disputes, battles, anecdotes, Mohammed's love affairs, his frustrations and his teachings.
This work will dazzle the minds of those who know the power of communication. To capture the imagination, hearts and minds of an ignorant and illiterate people by mere words, just words, written and read out, and move them to believe in an abstract God and fight for Him and their personal freedoms, loose and yet fight on until overwhelmingly victorious, has no historical parallels.
After Mohammed's murder, his successors turned to dictatorship, oppression, torture, injustice and corruption. They called it Islam. They still do.

This book can be viewed as an autobiography of a revolutionary.
Since revolution and revolutionaries were not in vogue at that time, they came to be known as prophets. The medium was religion, faith in God and his laws. By so charmingly rewriting the Koran, Thor Speare has taken a step in the unknown. I don't mean he has changed the meanings of the verses but he has dared to choose the verses he considers relevent to the plot of his book. And changed the sacrosanct order of the chapters too. ...

I had never thought so much was hidden for so long. This book with its straightforward translation of relevant passages and transparency of expression lays bare an era which is so important in the understanding of the Arab psyche, their deviousness, ignorance and the lightning speed with which they changed back to their customs of paganism with a mix of Jewish Law. They called the amalgam Sharia, the Islamic law. Comparing the contents of the book 'Was Prophet Mohammed Murdered' with what we hear in ... Read More

I was thrilled by the fluency and accuracy of the Koranic verses in this work. I had not read anything like this before. It sums up the whole range of the Prophet's activities. In short it is the gist of the most applicable concepts in the Koran that meet the chalenges of modern social and political studies. I believe this is a very interesting historical document and something humanity can be proud of. I had always wondered why the Koran was such a powerful element in its day. It aroused so many passions ... Read More

The author sets out to prove that Mohammed was murdered for his ideology and teachings. HIS TOOL: A new powerful compilation of selected verses and chapters of the Koran that recounts the struggle between Mohammed and his erstwhile supporters that led to his murder. The supporting material criticizes the manner of compilation of the Koran and the mischievous role of the Muslim clergy in changing the form and logic of the book to establish their own supremacy. It is the gist of Mohammed's life, social ... Read More

Such a book was long overdue. This is a work of scholarship and skill in which the author methodically unravels the history and ideology of Mohammed and the Koran. Interesting and informative it covers a romantic range of virgin territory. It is the only readable work on the subject in which the author braves Muslim opinion to say the Koran is different from Islam in every respect. Islamic law ordered stoning a woman to death for adultery in Nigeria while the Koran orders confinement of women to their chambers ... Read More
