	Islam at the Crossroads: Understanding Its Beliefs, History, and Conflicts
	by Paul A. Marshall, Roberta Green, and Lela Gilbert Sales Rank: 789640	$2.32 At Amazon on 12-2-2008.

*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 128 pages Published by: Baker Books August 2002 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0801064163 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0801064166 Book Dimensions: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.4 inches Weighs: 6.6 ounces *Product Description* Islam at the Crossroads traces how the vibrant history of Islam has been inspired by specific core beliefs, including jihad or holy war. Written in a popular and engaging style, it begins with a panoramic view of invasions and campaigns, including those of the Prophet Mohammad, and quickly moves to today's events, including terrorist attacks over the past five years. This historical survey reveals how certain Islamic beliefs have created an international network of violent groups, including Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden's operational base. The authors explore the differences between these militant groups and the peaceful majority of Muslim people and consider the question as to which form of Islam will prevail. The voices of moderate Islamic scholars and clerics then conclude the book with the call for a rejection of radical Shari'a law and a focus, instead, on an inner battle against evil. Readers interested in understanding the history of Islam and its conflicts with Christianity and Judaism, including pastors and theology and political science students, will benefit from this objective book and its illustrative stories, maps, and charts. *About The Author* Paul Marshall is Senior Fellow at the Center for Religious Freedom in Washington, D.C., and the author of several books. Lela Gilbert is a writer and editor whose work includes both fiction and nonfiction books. She and Marshall co-authored Their Blood Cries Out, which won a Gold Medallion. Roberta Green is an award-winning journalist and an expert on Islamic history. *Reader Reviews* I picked the book up from curiosity; I am a Muslim. Did an 'open to' test and opened to the sixth page of the first chapter. Saw that in listing what Muslims believe he wrote that we must believe in "Allah's Angels (Jinn)". Yes, we must believe in Angels, and we do believe in Jinn, but these are completely different creations. Jinn live amongst us and like us have the gift/burden of free will. Angels only serve Allah and don't have will. If such a profound misunderstanding (and poor editing I must add) is in such a crucial and basic section early in the book, where can this book go when it delves into things less clear? The trash.
