In the Arabic translation of The God Delusion, under the title, Bassam added the words: “This book is banned in Islamic countries.” It is fortunate and wonderful that the banning of books in the Arab and Islamic worlds is no longer feasible in our new age of information. I was able to read the book while I was still in Morocco, where I was born. Some atheist friends even managed to get hold of the book in Saudi Arabia. The dark times of censorship, in which knowledge for the people was confined to carefully curated books and resources, are gone and will never return.


The translator naturally received death threats and accusations of conspiring with the Zionists to corrupt the youth. He was forced to close his social media accounts and stop posting for a while.

Considering who is behind the theory the odds of them being close to right is really, really high. If anybody gets upset the film has achieved it's sole purpose. Muslims are the 2nd most sensitive group that believes in the very same God. They are hardly the kind to throw it out there and let the cards fall where they may.

Muslims are like other God's servants; there is the good and the evil among them, there is the believer and the disbeliever, there is the monotheist (who devotes himself to God) as there is the associater (who, through the enthusiasm, associates Mohammed, Ali, the imams and sheikhs with God in the worship and glorification.)

There is among them the believer and the atheist: and all that depends on God's guidance.

Of course there are many of people who encourage and want the atheism to prevail: these are the Satan worshipers and Zionists: from whom every evil stem: they encourage and make parties and organizations for this purpose; or else how do these atheists have such propaganda and support!?

The idea humans are special is very neive. But I can understand why stupid people would believe it. It feels good to be more special then the rest of all the other living things.

When one investigates such books of the atheists, like this book, he will be certain of many points:
1- There is the assertions of many ideas, and this atheist speaks them as if they are facts.
2- There is much propaganda and support for such atheist and his books.
3- Such ideas have been discussed and refuted and answered by many books and many thinkers.
4- The atheist in such book uses the way of displaying various religions and mixing them together so that the truth is confused with the falsehood.
5- Many things said by this atheist and ascribed to religion while they are not cited in the Glorious Quran
e.g. the age of the earth as less than 10 000 years, which is not in the Quran; the Quran tells us that the earth and the other planets have been transformed from a flaming sun to an earth with a cold crust in a period of 6 000 years, and this happened since long time ago. In other words: this period of the six thousand years had passed away since long time ago, which is not stated.

Both Selfschlong and Megapuke believe they be special and "enlightened" and everyone else is a moron. This is what happens when your ego evolves into full on retardo.

Eee and how about you, he he he. Only a rusted tank.

The idea humans are special is very neive. But I can understand why stupid people would believe it. It feels good to be more special then the rest of all the other living things.

Very neive, and you cannot underatnd. It feels good and the rest Bronx cheer.

Simple creatures these religious zealots. I feel I'm watching animals in a a zoo.

Religion was a control fix for a ailing slavery economical system that was slowly breaking apart. The same way Credit was our fix to our failing capitalism. :lol:

I can't believe someone still believes in BS from 3 economical system ago. :lol:

I think 90% of the world population are dimwits.

Muslimes are so stupid they never rejected slavery as the acceptable economical system. They never even made it to feudalism. :lol:

And here we are 3 1/2 economic system ahead of them.
