About the author.

      The 19 Questions for Muslim Scholars: This book exposes the paganistic nature of the religion (in fact, sects) popular in the so-called Muslim countries, a religion that is the prime cause of backwardness, ignorance, oppression, human-rights violations and tyranny that have plagued those countries for centuries. Using powerful arguments, it demonstrates the incredible amount of distortion and deception committed by Muslim Scholars who have traded God's word with medieval Arab culture (Hadith and Sunnah), who have turned God's religion to a men-made Limited Company Religion concocted by God + Muhammad + his companions + his companion's companions + early imams + early scholars + following scholars.
       
      The 19 questions for Christian Scholars: Irrefutable Biblical and historical evidences demonstrate that today Christianity has nothing to do with the original message of Jesus, the Messiah; but it is basically a product of St. Paul, a Pharisee son of Pharisee and Clergymen.
       
      Running Like zebras. A debate between Mr. Edip Yuksel, a proponent of the Quran's numerical structure based on the number 19, and its detractor and skeptic "par-excellence" Mr. Daniel (Abdulrahman) Lomax.
       
      Why Trash All The Hadith? When followers of Hadith and Sunnah cannot defend the nonsensical and contradictory hadiths (narrations) abundant in their so-called authentic hadith books, they suggest to pick and chose those hadiths that are not contradictory to the Quran. This brief argument shows how deceptive and meaningless this apparently innocent suggestion.
       
      Unorthodox Articles. An Unorthodox approach to three controversial issues: Wife-beating, Abortion and Usury. Edip Yuksel argues that the verse 4:34 is entirely mistranslated by traditional scholars who were invariably male. He also argues that abortion is not murder if it is done during the first trimester. He uses the context of the Quran to explain the meaning of "Riba."

      Mathematical Symmetry of Divine Attributes in the Holy Qur'an. Witness the interlocking mathematical design in the text of the Quran. The frequency and numerical values of attributes of God demonstrate a miraculous pattern. The mathematical discovery also solves the mystery of "Ism-i A'zam" (The Greatest Divine Attribute) which Muslim scholars have wondered for centuries.
       
      Smile to the Child in You. A short essay followed by author's first English poem invites adults to question everything like children do with little fear and constraints. We do not need to kill the child in us when we grow up.
       
      Paranormal Issues. The author, a monotheist skeptic, in his humorous and philosophical short arguments tickles the validity of paranormal claims such as Deja vu, Ghosts, Healers, Jealous Phenomenon, UFOs, Witch-hunting, and Precognition.

      A Letter to Sign Magazine. This is a letter sent to a Magazine published in London that unjustly attacked Dr. Rashad Khalifa in its cover story. The Sign Magazine, unfortunately, did not publish the letter, except for a paragraph. This letter, also deals with those who started a new cult worshipping Rashad Khalifa by considering his appendices, footnotes, subtitles, articles, video and audio tapes as revelation and adding them to the Quran.

      Feminism; a Storm and Rainbow of Social and Political Evolution.
      The author in this essay discusses feminist movement and its contribution to the social and political structure of modern societies.

      HOMOPHOBIA-PHOBIA. An Internet argument among a group of law students, including Edip Yuksel, in the University of Arizona. Law students argue the Constitutional rights of gays. Yuksel questions their standard.

      365 Days; in the Quran. The singular word "Day" (YaWM) occurs in the Quran exactly 365 times. Followers of medieval fabrications (Hadith and Sunnah) rejected that simple fact as usual. Edip Yuksel argued with their Internet guru Lomax and his ditto-heads on this issue. After several rounds of arguments, Lomax was finally compelled to accept this Quranic fact. In the end of the argument you will see the complete list of the frequencies of three temporal words: DAY (365), DAYS (30) and MONTH (12) in the Quran.

      The Prime Argument; Edip Yuksel and Carl Sagan argue on the "mathematical structure" of the Quran and its philosophical implication regarding the existence of God. Carl Sagan, as an agnostic astronomer, expresses his doubts about such an inference. The two-round short argument provides a different perspective on the "Miraculous Code 19" of the Quran. It is a prime argument on a mysterious prime number.

      An Interview; An intreview with Edip Yuksel by Aktuel, a popular weekly Turkish Magazine, in its issue of April 2, 1997.

      An Ultimatom; In brief, members of this community are replacing the Hadith and Sunnah of Muhammad with Rashad's Appendices, footnotes, subtitles, audio and video tapes, while replacing the title "Final Prophet" with "the Messenger of the Covenant." ....... What a regression!

      The Triarchy That Breeds Human Rights Violations, Patriarchs/Priests/Preceptors;
      The thriarchy-patriarchs, priests, preceptors-need to be a focus of
      international human rights watch groups. Reforming these three institutions
      will take a long time, however, it is the only way for a long-term solution
      for violations of human rights...

      Why Do People Get Disoriented? Following Mercator's Flat Earth Instead of God's Round Earth.
      The message of the Quran has not gotten stale since centuries. It is one of
      the miraculous nature of this Book that the verses addressing medieval
      Arabs and their neighbors do not remain as historical accounts of a
      particular population lived in the past, but a guide for generations to
      come. The message of the Quran is universal....
