Muslim: What You Need to Know About the World's Fastest Growing Religion

De: Hank Hanegraaf

Is Islam a peaceful and tolerant religion?

For all the debate over Islam and its growing presence in the world, one thing is often overlooked: Islam is not a religion in the sanitized Western sense. It is, in contrast, an all-encompassing sociopolitical legal matrix that has bred a worldview antagonistic to anything but itself. While there may be millions of peaceful and tolerant Muslims, many of them our neighbors, Islam itself is hardly peaceful and tolerant.

Islam is the only significant religious system in the history of the human race with a sociopolitical structure of laws that mandate violence against the infidel. The current narrative is that to tell the truth in this regard is tantamount to radicalizing Muslims and exacerbating hostilities that may otherwise lie dormant. A common refrain has reverberated throughout the West: "Islam is not our enemy." As well-intentioned as this mantra may be, it is a potentially dangerous stance once someone understands Islam in full. Despite its incoherence, Islam - one billion six hundred million strong and growing - is poised to fill the vacuum left by a Western culture slouching inexorably towards Gomorrah. Demographics alone are alarming. While polygamist Muslims boast a robust birth rate, native Westerners are moving rapidly toward self-extinction. Filling the void are multiplied millions of Muslims who have no intention of assimilating into Western culture.

Equally grave is the specter of global Islamic jihadism now exacting mass genocide on Christians in the East and ever-multiplying terrorist attacks throughout the West. We are also witnessing the co-belligerency of fantastically wealthy Saudis spending multiplied billions of dollars exporting virulent Wahhabism to the West. Worse still, Western governments, academic institutions, and media outlets seem bent on exporting a false narrative respecting the religious animus animating global Islamic jihadism.

In Muslim: What You Need to Know about the World's Fastest Growing Religion, Hanegraaff not only outlines the problems in accessible and memorable fashion, but moves toward potential solutions in the clash of civilizations.

Better soon than later!

Such great information, learning how to understand the Muslim culture and language will help us to be more loving toward them as we seek to share the truth of what the Bible teaches. Hank Hanegraaff doesn’t leave a stone unturned as usual! The true gospel message is expressed beautifully and would be a great read for anyone seeking a relationship with God.

Very Insightful

Loved the narration, breakdown of the religion of Islam, and the comparison between Christianity and Islam.

equipped!

in my journey into Pastoral ministry as a student and lover of Gods Word..I am called to shed light on the dark areas of world religions. So blessed to have read this great resource

Very Educational

How can a religion born out of violence be true? Showed the clear contrast to Biblical Christianity.

Critically important

Hank has summarized this topic perfectly. This is simply one of the most important books anyone could read.

Very Informative

It was full of information and truth which is very hard to come by these days. I'd rather hear a hard truth than a sweet lie.

Eye opening

Very good information you won’t hear in the mainstream media. Suggest everyone read this book for the rest of the story.

Not even laughable

This man clearly knows nothing about Islam so he needs to stop writing about it and stick to something he actually knows something about. This book is nothing but another tool for those who don't understand Islam to use to steer others away.

Too onesided

I had hoped to gain an understanding of the religion but it is clear the author has a negative perspective and only highlights negative points.
