...If one wants truth about islam or jihad, one has to go to an ex-muslim scholar; Dr Anwar Shaikh is one such courageous scholar(website: knowislam.org). He is perhaps the first muslim in history who has put his life on line and exposed islam for what it is by writing well researched books since 80's and selling openly (from Cardiff, England). Surprisingly he is still living. Dr. Ali Sina (faithfreedom.org) and Dr. Ibn Warraq (secularislam.org) are pioneers for using internet in this effort.
