Dear friend:
My book, The Islam Threat is finished. I believe this book is a devastating blow at Islam and it will revolutionize the way the world views this cult. I have been called extremist. I accept this charge with honor. Islam is sheer evil. It must be opposed completely. Anything less would be compromise with evil. How do you nullify a total lie? With half truths? To say we should adopt a moderate stance vis-à-vis Islam is a logical fallacy. Islam says, kill the unbelievers. How can one be moderate about that? Does moderation mean accepting that Muslims only jail or beat the unbelievers? Islam teaches one man can have four wives. Should we compromise and say two wives are okay? Extreme evil has to be opposed radically. I vehemently reject any recognition of Islam as a legitimate religion and call for its total denunciation and ban.
I need your help to find a good publisher for the book. This book is controversial and many publishers are wary of touching it. My first agent became frightened and quitted. Someone suggested I should collect 5,000 emails of people interested to buy the book, to assure the publishers that there is interest in such a controversial and potentially explosive book.
You can help and join my mailing list by adding your email address to those willing to buy the book. You will receive an email when the book has been published and is available for sale.
Thank you and I remain sincerely yours
Ali Sina

Dear Ali,
If you fail to find any publisher for this book, you can sell it on internet or E.bay in form of book or CDs.
Ali now it is right time that you come out and disclose your true identity. If the author is going to stay a ghost write in a literal sense, then book would not have much credibility. Or you can tell publishers to disclose true identity after your death, or when you think now you are too old and too sick for Fatwas by Ahemdjadin or other Mullahs. 
I went throught the out line of your book. I wish you would have included the Islamic conquest chapter for your country of birth Iran. Main line historians all over the world repeat well worn theme that corrupt Sassanid & Zorasters were ripe for conquest, There were all peaceful and volentary conversions of Persians.Islamic conquest invigorated culture of Iran, brough out best in Persians. This was golden opportunity for you to debunk this myth and could become a reference book of Iranian history. I know its a too big a topic for this book, but for any Iranian this should be priority number one. To tell the world about rape of 6th & 7th century Iran.
Reagards C.C.

Ali.... I've signed up to the mailing list.
I hope you have a chapter in your book which talks about the excuses that Muslims constantly employ to defend Islam.
For example:
The "mis-translation" excuse
The "you are quoting out of context" excuse.
Their constant use of logical fallacys... such as "tu quoque"... "ad-homimem" |

| I think it will be very difficult to find a publisher since Sina's articles are much more harsher then Islam-critic books I know (at least if the book is in the same style than the articles). And you can already have problems with those books. |

I have already signed for ali's book. By the way, it is not good idea for ali to disclose his idenitity. Also, selling on ebay is not a good start for a brillant person like ali. Lets hope we will get enough signature out there.

The truth about getting published:
Ali's plan is brilliant. No publisher likes testing an unknown author. They usually don't sell any books. However, publishers hate turning down a sure seller even more. The minimum publishing order for a commercial publisher is usually 5000 books. If Ali approaches his choice of publishers with a list of 5000 people who have asked him to tell them when they can buy the book, it's a no-brainer to give him a publishing contract.
It's actually a myth that authors make good money off being authors. Unfortunately, unless Ali has a really sweet contract, he'll never see more than about $2 per book that he sells. However, this is the chance for him to become credentialed as an author, and give himself a greater public venue. Prominent Islam apologists will find themselves under greater pressure to take Ali seriously and debate him as he's requested. Faithfreedom will become more widely known, and Ali will be able to spread his message more effectively. He can be marginalized, but not shut out of media focus.
Further, if he sells his 5000 copies over the course of a week or two, his book will be a bestseller. And if he sells them all over the course of just a single week, he'll probably make the NY Times list. That means major recognition and a huge boon to this site's cause.
Those of you who sign up, even though Ali says up front that signing up is not an obligation to buy, I ask that you would, and that you'd do it just as quickly as possible from the time of receiving the email letting you know it's ready. If Ali does become a bestselling author, then the media attention that follows is going to see to it that everyone finds out just what it is that he has to say. |

This can be a big problem for Ali. His Islamic critics and all other ditractors will fine comb all his posts of FFI, and many comments he made in heat of arguments, many frank opinions expressed when he was rattled or statements made casually may haunt him, After all we are talking about all his opinions expressed in past four years on FFI. Koranic Muslims will take it out of context and then Ali has to play a role as if he is defending Koran.  But ofcourse this can give million dollar publicity to this site. |

Quite inspiring! When all of this happens will we finally get to see what Ali Sina looks like? |

May sell it as downloadable eBook (in pdf or html files) payable via PayPal, wiring or money transfer. But the great risk is that some buyer will pirate/corrupt and distribute it freely online.

I would love to have the book in paperback or posible hardcover. Prophet of Doom can be downloaded for free, but I imagine Ali wants money for the truth since he is more upfront. Rightly deserved! Hope ya find a publisher Ali. |

This book The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie can still be bought via order from any bookstore. You can even buy it from Amazon and eBay. Anyone here knows the publisher of that book?
Why not try Prometheus Books? This is where Ibn Warraq published his books.
