Emir Caner, converted Sunni Muslim and coauthor of the bestselling Unveiling Islam, joins apologist John Ankerberg, host of the powerhouse John Ankerberg Show, to tackle a topic crucial to twenty-first-century Christianity. Caner's immersion in the Islamic worldview, from growing up the son of a devout mosque leader, gives readers an authentic picture of Islam and jihad--"holy war." He and Ankerberg go beyond the hopeful but often ignorant pronouncements of politicians and religious leaders, considering...the Qu'ran's contradictory declarations regarding conflict and tolerance; the facts that Muhammad was a warrior and Islam is a religion of battle; the deceptiveness of calling Islam a "religion of peace"; the decisive role of imams--teachers--in radicalizing adherents; and the false impressions of Islam gained by considering only North American Muslims. An invaluable tool for understanding this key issue and discussing it with Muslim and non-Muslim friends and acquaintances.
