An Eye-opening Look at the Deadly Beliefs of Every One in Five People on Earth Thumb through any newspaper, listen to any newscast, and the terms "Islamic Al Jihad" or "Shi'ite Muslims" will inevitably be linked with bombings, hijackings, and other terrorist acts. What do you know about this religion that boasts "the greatest joy is to kill and be killed for Allah"?
Dr. Anis Shorrosh explains the driving force behind the fanatical, as well as the moderate and conservative, sects of Islam in Islam Revealed. Drawing on his experiences as a Palestinian-born Arab Christian and years of research and study, Dr. Shorrosh lays open the inner workings of an ever-growing religion that currently numbers its members at a staggering 900 million. Through comparisons of the Islam "bible," the Koran (Quran), with the Hebrew-Christian Bible, you will see the contradictions and inaccuracies that form the basis for the Muslims' beliefs.
Also, the turbulent life of Islam's sixth-century prophet, Muhammad, is contrasted with the holy, virtuous life of Jesus. With world tensions continuing to explode in the Middle East, you'll depend on this timely reference to help you better understand the whys and hows of Islam.
