Preface to the Second Edition

In the second edition of this work Lorin Sandor Jenis appended his legal name to the text; he no longer used a pseudonym nor his spiritual name Amin Ahmed Khalil. It was either courage or foolhardiness that inspired Mr. Jenis to sign this work with his ordinary name. The Muslim world will certainly label him a heretic because of what he wrote---and Islam has always been quick to imprison and kill its heretics. Lorin Jenis nonetheless believes that it is necessary to be completely honest in the presentation of this tiny book. Anyone who reads it will immediately understand why, for it is a work of great inner conviction and fearlessness.
