Answering Jihad

A Better Way Forward

De: Nabeel Qureshi

Narrado por: Nabeel Qureshi

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.

Well Researched Answers

Not only answered my questions, but addressed questions I had not thought to ask about.

The Truth

Loved thw comparison - both his experiences are coming from being a Muslim and a Christian. Best analysis and recommendations I have heard so far. Too bad he is not with us anymore - your wit, knowledge, understanding, and Christlike brotherly love are missed and are needed now more than ever.

Thorough Enough To Help

The book was short and sweet, but did the job I assumed it was setting out to do. I wanted to know a little more about "Islamic Jihad" and its roots, whether or not Jihad is commanded from the Quran or superseded by a latter command, and ultimately what Nabeel(a former Muslim) thought was the best way to witness to/win a Muslim heart over to Christ. This book did all of those things, so I give it 5 stars.

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.

Enlightening, with clear logic and thorough knowledge.

A powerful condemnation of fundamentalist violent Islamic jihad. I learned a lot listening to this.

Insightful

An excellent book. This answered a very important question for me: how can you have both radical Muslims and peace-loving Muslims in today's society?
