Product Review
This is fascinating. Two former Muslims talk about Islam from the inside. It's a fairly simple but complete read, among other things I think I now get why we supported Iraq as opposed to Iran. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but I think in this day and age, we all need to read it. (journals.aol.com 20040603)

. . . A useful framework to help Christians to witness to Muslims, particularly in the Western countries. (Christian Library Journal 20050401)

The single greatest strength of this book is that it is not published as an exercise in academic research but rather as a tool for Christians to equip themselves. (Between the Leaves )

"This informative, well-written book should be read by every Christian who desires to understand Islam and to see Muslims come to Jesus Christ for salvation" (Roy B. Zuck Bibliotheca Sacra )

Reader Reviews
What a refreshingly accurate book! Too many books about Islam are so focused on a let's-not-hate-them-or-that-would-make-us-bigots attitude that they usually make blind omissions of the most important aspects of the Koran, including its explicit rules on how to treat non-Moslems. (Take a look at "Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide" by Bat Yeor, for an eye-opening look at the way Islamic states treat their non-Islamic subjects.) One of the most startling revelations I have come across in this process of discovery is the de-bunking of the myth that "Islam" means "Peace." It doesn't. Arabic has a perfectly good word for peace: Salaam. If they wanted to name their religion "peace" they would have used that word. Instead, they used "Islam" - which means "submission." According to the Koran, Moslems must submit themselves to Allah; everyone else must submit themselves to the Moslems. I have posed this issue to several Moslem acquaintances over the years, and I usually get a response along the lines of "in submission, one finds peace." Well, in my kitchen, one can find a table. Does that make "kitchen" and "table" the same word? The western world is starving for the truth; this book offers a feast of knowledge in a way that only a former Moslem could offer. I highly recommend it. Comments (7) | | (Report this)
