Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Nabeel Qureshi—a former Muslim—come his deeply personal, challenging, and respectful answers to the many questions surrounding jihad, the rise of ISIS, and Islamic terrorism.

San Bernardino was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since 9/11, and it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. There is no question that innocents were slaughtered in the name of Allah and in the way of jihad (meaning warfare against the enemies of Islam, in this case).

But do the terrorists' actions actually reflect the broader religion of Islam? The answer to this question is more pressing than ever, as many Muslim refugees are still migrating to the West, seeking shelter from the violent ideologies of ISIS, Al-Qaida, and other radical Islamic groups.

Setting aside speculations and competing voices, Qureshi explores the answers to difficult questions like:

• What is Islam, and is it a religion of peace or violence?
• Is there a clear definition and doctrine of jihad?
• How are we to understand jihad and radical expressions of Islam in relation to our Muslim neighbors and friends?
• Why is there such a surge of Islamist terrorism in the world today, and how should we respond?
• How does jihad compare with Old Testament calls to warfare?

In Answering Jihad, bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi answers these urgent questions from the perspective of a former Muslim who is deeply concerned for both his Muslim family and his American homeland.

Fantastic as always

Very clear, logical, deep, honest and trustworthy account. It helps me to clear up my mind and understand better in the mist of all the emotions.

a must read

insightful and enlightening from start to finish. written from a place of love and compassion not fear.

Refreshing

A welcome perspective on a very pressing issue today. I hope this book finds an audience.

Different

While the material was good, it was certainly different from his other books. His other books had more emotion. Until I got to the last 2 chapters it all just seemed like facts. I didn't experience the passion I have come to love about his books until the last two chapters. Please understand, he does a phenomenal job of presenting the information and answering the questions. I really enjoyed this book.

A balanced coherent review of the history of Jihad

Nabeel does an excellent job of objectively presenting a historical overview of Jihad and its current impact today.

very educational, every Christian should read it.

It was very educational, every Christian should read it. He breaks it down for you.

Good information provided for my understanding of Islam

Very good presentation if the subject, answers many of the questions on what drives Jihad. Nabeel is a credible Christian who has was taught as a Muslim, but advicated for Jesus’ way

Great explanations to many tough questions

The book written by Dr. Quereshi is very helpful for a Christian to understand the Islamic faith and the evil of Islamic terrorism. It's not filled with politically charged rhetoric but rather facts from a informed and educated former Muslim who understands being a Muslim, especially in the West. Give this book your time if you want to understand truth of Islam in conjunction with what we see in our world today with the problem radical Islam.

Real Islam Revealed

In this book the author serves to present the real theology, history, and mission of Islam. Based on historical evidence, Islamic texts- of which are mostly available in Arabic but have been translated - the author gives light to events seen in today's headlines and past wars. A must read

Thank you!

Excellent book that answers many of the questions that arise when attempting to understand the foundations of Islam and how to approach our Muslim neighbors in a productive and compassionate manner given its violent beginnings. Truth and Love is THE answer...violence begets violence. Heed the call of this brilliant author who understands fully the foundations of Islam and the life giving call to follow Jesus.
