Product Description
What Fuels the Conflict?

To make sense of the headlines today, you need a clear understanding of the teachings of Islam.

¡§I didn¡¦t just do research about Islam; I lived it for thirty-four years!¡¨

Learn the truth! Author Mark Gabriel presents facts, not opinions, about what is going on in the Middle East, especially between Muslims and Jews. Dr. Gabriel describes:

ľ Why Palestinian Muslims reject peace offers
ľ Why Muslims commit suicide to kill Jews in obedience to Allah
ľ The real reasons radical Islamic groups want to destroy the state of Israel
ƒæ Why the Quran calls Jews ¡§the children of monkeys and pigs¡¨
ľ The truth about the Arabian holocaust led by Muhammad against the Jews

Dr. Gabriel¡¦s purpose is to expose the teachings of Islam, not to hurt Muslims. He says, ¡§Muslims are my people, my family. I love Muslims. The problem is with the teachings of Islam, not with the people. Muslims are suffering from Islam more than anyone else in the world.¡¨

Special chapters include:
ľ Stories from former members of the PLO and the radical Islamic group, Hizbollah
ľ A comparison of Islamic holy war and the Crusades
ľ An explanation of the role of Abraham and Ishmael in Islam

This book will show you what started the unfinished battle between Islam and the Jews and what it will take to bring the battle to an end.

Reader Reviews
This excellent and revealing book is by Mark Gabriel, a former professor of Islamic History at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. The first section of the contents of this book is devoted to his autobiography, where he is described as a former devout Muslim, who was able to recite the entire contents of the Quran by the age of twelve years. The book reveals the depth of his personal knowledge of Islam and his own participation in fanning the flames of racial hatred towards the Jews. The autobiographical section at the beginning of this book imparts how the subject finally broke free of his anti-Semitic roots, his hatred of the Jews and tells of his conversion to Christianity. The power of the Gospel is clearly evident in this message. The book reveals quite clearly the depth of the Islamic hatred of the Jewish people and proceeds to examine it's origins. We are treated to an in-depth analysis of this hatred with much reference to the prophet Muhammad, the Islamic holy books the Quran and the Hadith. Quotations from the latter books being frequently used to corroborate each and every issue discussed in this work. It is revealed that prior to Islam, Arabs and Jews actually "got along". Something which is studied in some detail here. The book pulls no punches in showing that Western politicians and our media have been utterly and completely duped by the Islamic world into thinking that Islam is in any way a "peaceful" religion. The historic basis and practice of Islam is discussed together with how Jews and Christians have been historically treated by Islam. The book describes that according to Islamic law, Jews and Christians had the following options; "convert to Islam, pay the tax to the Muslim authority and remain in the faith, or be killed." In other words, "accept Islam or be killed". A sizeable section is devoted to this particular issue, some of which readers might fight disturbing. Examples are cited where Jews are forced to wear "yellow" clothing and Christians "blue" to identify them as non-Muslims etc., disturbing echoes of what was to come in the twentieth century. Even the whole basis of the Palestinian-Israeli issue is shown to be based on "religion" and having nothing to do with land. This is illustrated with numerous examples that further expose the disturbing premise that the Palestinian/Arab/Islamic world will never agree to any permanent peace treaty with the Jews, or EVER accept the existence of a Jewish state within their midst. When one hears such words from such an eminent and learned source, so conversant and experienced with the Islamic agenda, it would be foolish to ignore such a warning. The book does not approach the Palestinian-Israeli issue from a historical or Biblical perspective, but from a Muslim point of view in order that the reader and the World can see the seriousness of the battle that Israel faces and the real issues underlying the conflict. The book reveals the only acceptable solution to Islam as being the destruction of Israel. Muslims believing that the land concerned belongs to Islam and not to any people group....period. No peace negotiation with Israel is acceptable...period. Any agreement by the Palestinians or the Arab world to cede any land to Israel, or even accept an Israeli state, is not acceptable. According to Muslims the land belongs to Islam and cannot be given away. A plethora of quotations are provided to substantiate these statements. The reader is left with a clear understanding as to why/how all the "peace negotiations" have failed at this time, despite all the offers & concessions made by Israel. The title of this work includes the phrase "the unfinished battle". Indeed it is clear that in the eyes of Islam, the battle to eradicate Israel is far from over. I highly recommend this book and wish that it could be widely read by politicians, diplomats and those behind our media entities. A chapter of this book is devoted to the Middle Eastern Church and approaches the misconceptions of the latter about Israel and the Jews which are often sadly on a par with elements of Islam itself. Many elements of the Middle Eastern Church not recognising that the Jews have a divine right to present day Israel as outlined in the Bible. There is absolutely no hatred in this book towards Muslims. In fact readers are encouraged to love Muslims in word and deed, yet to be truly aware of the teachings of Islam in relation to the Jews, Christians and the West itself. Something which the book describes as even lacking amongst many professing Muslims who allegedly just base their feelings upon what they are told and a historic hatred, without any personal experience whatsoever. The book describes that many, if not most, have been indoctrinated in such beliefs and opinions since childhood. Might I respectfully suggest another book that could be led in parallel with this excellent work. "Islam Revealed. A Christian Arab's View Of Islam" by Anis Shorrosh. This is a book written by another author very well qualified and with much experience in this subject who is a Palestinian Christian. Thank you for your time.
