Foreword to Living by the Point of My Spear

Civilisation evolves and develops as time passes, values and ethics for the entire planet, not just ‘western civilisation’, are an essential part of this process and of the maturation of humanity. Around the globe people of all religions and creeds are willing to defend the values of human rights, the human freedoms of thought and speech, democracy and the rights of women.

‘Western civilisation’ and, in fact, any civilisation, must never kneel to the primitive tools of many Islamic groups who use violence and terror to further their aims. This inherently will eventually destabilise the very basis of Islam itself.

It is essential that the truth behind the dogma of fundamentalist Islamic thought is illuminated. Light must be shed on the deceits, fabrications and misguidance of many Islamic scholars, theorists, historians and so called ‘holy’ men.

The time is right for this book, this gift of mine to the world at large and the people of all civilisations and religions.
