Muhammad's Wrath R Mott

There can be little doubt that we are living in a world where extremist views and fanatical religious ideology are at the forefront of our minds. This is particularly so with the collapse of several Middle East states and the rise of groups such as Islamic State. Since September 11, 2001, there have been more than 30,700 deadly Islamic terrorist attacks. Why? Perhaps if we try to understand, or at the very least acknowledge, what Islamic terrorists use as their motivational literature we can discover a way to communicate with them before violence becomes their only perceived alternative. Muhammad's Wrath: The Dark Side of Islam takes an impartial look at Islamic literature that many extremists use as their inspiration. It exhibits quotes from the Quran and Hadith that many non-Islamic people around the world find offensive, disturbing and threatening. Many of the verses chosen have been cited by extremist and terrorists as their inspiration for horrifying acts, or as tools to attract and recruit new members and until we can discover what sets them on this path, we will see more bloodshed. Muhammad's Wrath is not meant to promote hate or prejudice against Muslim people. It is it my intention to insinuate that all Muslims are extremist, terrorists, or violent. It contains only my own opinions of the Islamic faith, drawn from personal interpretations of Islamic text and the Holy Quran.
