Bad Islamic Books need to be shelved

June 29, 2015June 29, 2015 Mike Ghouse 3 Comments

Don’t jump to conclusions, it is not the Muslim thing to do. Muslims never had the freedom to speak out, even though freedom of speech is one of the greatest values of Islam. Quran positively asserts on freedom – there is no compulsion, period! In the 1400 years of our history, we did not get…
