This is a pre-publication of my book ‘49:49 ‘, to be published no later than 2025. In Part I I already wrote that the critic who is sober and fearless, against hotheads who demand in a high or highest tone that one must know Quranic Arabic before one can say anything about the contents of… Continue reading Mohammedanism: only for Arabs.
