I learned that muslims will lie to non-muslims much of the time.

The dark corner of a Muslim bookshop

I popped into a Muslim bookshop yesterday to pick up material on the deeply weird world of Islamic Creationism for a book I'm writing. It's a wonderfully atmospheric place – a cross between 84 Charing Cross Road and the Istanbul Grand Bazaar. Friendly, too.

"Community leaders" love hanging out there, and even non-Muslims stop off to buy stamps and phonecards.

I came away with an armful of books attacking the Theory of Evolution, portrayed as a vile conspiracy involving drug barons and Freemasons. No surprises there.

On the way out of the shop, a thought struck me. I asked: "Do you have a copy of...?" and I named one of the bestselling books in the Arab world.

"Oh, no, we don't stock that," replied the amiable young guy behind the counter.

I looked disappointed. "I was sure you had it. I only need it for reference purposes."

The guy looked at me suspiciously for a second, then relented. "OK, just a moment," he said, and headed for a dark corner of the shop where there was a pile of slim red paperbacks. He handed me a copy. "That'll be six quid, please."

The title of the book? You may have guessed by now: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
