Never before has one book contained such valuable information
about the Islamic faith, beliefs, and traditions, as well as
historical and political insights. In an easy-to-read format, Dr.
Mark Gabriel shares the truth and tells you everything you need to
know and understand about Islam.
“What is the solution? Is there any solution at all? Is there any hope for peace to be established in the Middle East? With the pages of this book I try to provide the dimension of understanding that is difficult to find in the world of secular and politically correct media.” (source)
“You may wonder how I can be so confident that I understand the mind-set of the radical Muslim. The reason is that with my background, I could have become one of those radicals. I grew up in a conservative Muslim household in Egypt. I started memorizing the Quran at the age of five and finished when I was twelve years old. I went on to earn a doctorate degree from the famous Al-Azhar University and was given a teaching position. I had several friends and students in my classes who were active in jihad.” (source)
“Another important part of my story is that I am no longer a follower of Islam. This allows me to speak more freely about the teachings of Islam, but it also puts me at risk of punishment from the radicals. I have been stabbed, shot at, and threatened multiple times.” (source)
“IN THIS CHAPTER I will explain how the hope of the Arab Spring resulted in a new level of Islamic extremism as radicals took advantage of a vacuum in leadership to gain new ground for their cause.” (source)
“In order to grasp the position and influence of Al-Azhar, we can say that for Muslims it is what the Vatican is for Catholics.” (source)
