“The Last patriot” is a new book that points out that their are major known discrepancies in manuscripts of the Quran. That takes a lot of guts. Brad Thor may be one of the last patriots standing today. I think Muslims will eventually re-examine their faith with a modern, 21st century perspective, as are other religions. It will probably occur after a great war with Islamic fundamentalism. It will lead to a pluralist one world religion. But that will not turn out to be good either, because contrary to postmodern thinking there really is only one truth. That truth is found in the Bible when properly translated.
Brad Thor the new Salman Rushdie?
The author of the best-selling new thriller, “The Last Patriot,” says his life already has been threatened for contending the Muslim holy book contains errors and is not based on the last revelations of Muhammad.
“What they found when they started studying them was, uh-oh, there’s stuff in here that doesn’t look like the Quran today,” he explained, “and we’ve gone around telling everybody that the Quran is perfect and now here are these discrepancies.”
More than 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide believe their holy book is the perfect, inviolate word of God – an exact word-for-word, perfect copy of the original book as it exists in Paradise and just as it was transmitted, without a single error, by Allah to the Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel.
But Thor’s main character in “Patriot” uncovers aberrations that differ from Islamic dogma, meaning the case could finally be made that the Quran needed to be re-examined in a historical framework.
Thor says “Islam is getting a free pass,” and he has the right to write anything he wants to write and Muslims have the “right not to read it.”
He adds that he’s tired of the chattering class in Washington glossing over the violent nature of Islam, sugarcoating it as a “religion of peace” that doesn’t need to be reformed.
“I hear all the time about Islam being a religion of peace and I thought, wow, that’s weird, there’s so much violence in there,” he explained in a recent interview with Beck. “And the more I study the Quran, the more I realize that it’s unlike the Bible.”
