He also dug up a lot of interesting information concerning the Quran, and Islam itself, along the way, while writing the book. Like the fire from Heaven that burned Elijah's sacrifice and scorned Baal's, showing Israel the one true God, this book yields a clear, unequivocal, decisive conclusion, exposing the Quran's true nature.
