One of the reasons for posting the article was to clearly show everyone that just going about on websites does not a master of Islamic knowledge make. Nor does reading books by nonmuslims or what are being called "reform muslims" or whatever. There is such a wealth and body of information that constitutes Islam. Scholars study for lifetimes to TRY to master just one aspect. Yet, nowadays many nonmuslims jump on the board and want to argue or "discuss" how young a wife of the Prophet was, jihad, slavery, polygamy, and whatever part of Islam that have come upon with which they don't agree.
Our religion is based upon Tawheed. If one does not understand or believe in this concept then understanding in the others will rarely follow, even for fellow muslims.

Two things.
1. Does it strike you odd that a book brought to us by God would be so incomprehensible that a lifetime of study would not provide clarity in even a single aspect?
2. For the non-muslims who are looking for a resource on Tawheed I strongly recommend this section of the University of Southern California's website on Islamic studies. Judge the quality of this content for yourself. I think you will find as I have that this source is unbiased.
