From Mr Robert Spencer.

Sir, Karen Armstrong in her review of my book The Truth about Muhammad says I do not mention Koran 29:46, in which Allah instructs Muhammad to tell Jews and Christians that "we believe what you believe; your God and our God is one". In reality, I discuss this verse twice (pp 17 and 51). She also says: "When discussing Muhammad's war with Mecca, Spencer never cites the Koran's condemnation of all warfare as an 'awesome evil' ". Yet the verse she quotes (2:217) actually says only that warfare during the "sacred month" is an "awesome evil", and adds: "Persecution is worse than killing."
