The book is called "Arab conspiracies against Islam" but the latest edition of the book is called "Mental Bondage. The author (Aidid Safar) claims that the Quran has been grossly mistranslated and many of the meanings of the words have been twisted to promote idolatry. The author is non-sectarian and believes Islam is not a religion but a system. Bro Simple sent me a copy of the book. But when it arrived Damon told me on PM that it was available on-line lol
here's the link....

Salaamun alaikum Sugar,
I personally discussed this issue with Aidid so barring the obscuring passage of time, I hope my explanation is fairly accurate
Aidid considers 'worship' to mean 'performing meaningless ritualistic acts' and feels that 'worship' has no place in deen al-islaam. Rather, he feels that we need to serve God by being good and following God's laws.
Ho9w would men be able to follow God's law since their deen is not Islam. how could they do itu since Islam is not a power to implement it.
Rituals is needed (QS.62/9) as a system to communicating Islam to societies.
