The Truth About Islam and Jihad

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.
