                                       The Dark Danger




                    While there is no distinction among people on the sub-
             ject of superiority when they are addressed in the Qur'an, the use
             of the term "the sons of Adam" shows that in that respect all people
             are created equal:

                 We have honored the sons of Adam and conveyed them on land
                 and sea and provided them with good things and favored them
                 greatly over many We have created. (Qur'an, 17:70)

                 The way that a religion that offers no pretext for warfare is her-
             alded by many as a religion of war stems entirely from the practices
             of the peddlers of superstition. Some people are generally mistaken
             about Islam because they are simply unaware of these clarifications
             regarding it and only witness the practices of the radicals. People

             with a radical mindset are unaware that they are applying com-
             mandments outside the Qur'an and have adopted another faith quite
             different to the true Islam; and that is just what we are trying to rem-
             edy with this book.


             It is usually radical groups that are encouraged
             to wage war, but those who need war for their
             own evil ends manage them all.
