Dr. Bill Warner has been a physicist, businessman and professor. He is now the director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam and writes articles and publishes two newsletters, the Bulletin of the Persecution of Christians and Bulletin of the Oppression of Women on his web site www.Politicalislam.com. He has devoted himself to the study of religious texts and is the first person to use the scientific method in the study of the Koran. The result, A Simple Koran, is the first Koran that can be read and easily understood. Dr. Warner also made the other two sacred texts of Islam, the Sira (Mohammed’s biography) and the Hadith (his Traditions) simple to read and understand as well. In addition, he wrote the best-selling Sharia Law for Non-Muslims. Thus, today any high school graduate can read and understand all of Islam’s sacred texts. Using simple statistical methods, Warner shows that the establishment history of Islam and the West is wrong: There was no real Islamic Golden Age; Islam has profoundly shaped Christianity; the Crusades were defensive; and Islam caused the collapse classical civilization, including the Roman Empire. Also, contrary to current history dogma, Islam ran the slave trade that included Africans, Europeans, and Hindus. In addition of writing over a dozen books on Islamic doctrine, Dr. Warner has developed the first self study courses on the subject. The Foundations of Islam course introduces you to the Trilogy of Islam: the Koran, Mohammed’s biography and his Traditions. Also, he has created a three level training—A Self-Study Course on Political Islam, that explains Islamic political doctrine. Dr. Warner is a renowned national and international speaker on the topics of Islamic doctrine and history.
