Summary: A Must Read For Our Time !
Comment: After September 11 2001, this book could not be more appropriate or more timely. Many in the West are seeking an understanding of a religion that could so mercilessly and indiscriminately slaughter so many innocent people at a given moment in time. The religion is Islam.
Islam, as the authors of this book declare, is often obscured by a veil of unfamiliar beliefs, customs and practices. The book 'Unveiling Islam' is a very sympathetic yet uncompromising presentation of the entire scope and field of Islam, including it's practices, ethics and beliefs. Not least, it deals with in detail the primary differences between Christianity and Islam.
Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner, were both raised as Sunni Muslims by a leader in a Mosque and have lived the Muslim life to the full. This crucial book by the Caner brothers, both esteemed and learned Professors in their own right, is a phenomenal work. The work shows extensive research and knowledge and is articulate and authoritative, with a deep understanding and comprehension of Islamic politics, theology, beliefs and mindset.
This vivid analysis of Islam is by two former devout Muslims who are now Born Again Christians.
The authors openly reveal that at this moment for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, men, women and children are being bullwhipped into submission, tortured, imprisoned, beaten, battered and broken. Homes are being burnt and families are being executed. Conversion from Islam to Christianity and faith in Jesus Christ often means being disowned, disinherited, expulsion, arrest and even death. The authors insist and expose that if you believe that persecution, torture and murder for belief and faith in Jesus Christ are things of the past, then you are sadly, badly mistaken.
The authors dismiss the claim so popular today that 'all religions are the same' and the Muslims and Christians worship the same God. They state that either Islam is correct in the assumption that "there is only one God, Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet" or that Christianity is correct when Jesus Himself says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no-one comes to the Father except through Me." They cannot both be correct and both Gods cannot be the same. Muslims overtly declaring that 'Allah has no son' and Christianity declaring that 'Jesus is the Son of God'.
This book is not a diatribe filled with hostility against Islam. There is no hostility here at all. No hatred, only sadness and love and a desire to share the Truth that the authors have found. It is a genuine, honest attempt to portray Islam as it is and from a Christian perspective, by two learned Muslims who have been there and trodden both paths.
The authors state that the events of September 11 2001, were regretfully only a very sad validation of Islam to those familiar with the Qur'an and the Hadith, and those familiar with the protocols of Jihad and the beliefs surrounding the worldwide expansion of Islam & the beliefs surrounding an Islamic martyr's eternity.
There is so much detail here that it is not possible to cover it all in a review. Read it for yourself. We all owe it to ourselves to be aware of the entire context of what we face in the 'war against terrorism' and those who sadly fight against the West in the name of Islam.
I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Very informative someone learning about Islam
Comment: This book is a great place to start for anyone who wants to learn about Islam. I'd especially recommend it since the events of September 11, 2001.
I suspect the book was somewhat hastily put together to get it out right after 9/11; it could go into a lot more depth on many of the subjects, but it is a great place to start. What makes it somewhat unique is that both of the authors have abandoned Islam to follow Christ.
Kudos to the Caners, some of the few who have the bravery and honesty to stand up and tell the truth about Islam, a truth that our "popular media" and even our own President don't want to acknowledge: that Islam is not a "religion" of peace, but of war and of "jihad."
The Caner's don't "slam" Islam in this book; rather they present the subject in a way that urges Christians to pray for and reach out to Muslims with the Truth of the Gospel of Christ. One whole chapter is devoted to offering suggestions how Christians can witness to their Muslim friends and/or neighbors. They quote extensively from the Koran and other Islamic writings, and contrast those writings with the Bible.

Summary: Unveiling the Authors' Bias
Comment: This book is typical of books on Islam. It is written by people who wish to disparage a religion by twisting words and phrases and events in its history with a single purpose: to create a spectre, an enemy, to be despised "reflexively", rather than through diligent inquiry. It feeds on the cathartic need of Americans to hate an enemy following the tragic events of 9/11. A truly sad motive for writing a book.
If this book is your only source on Islam then you will be easily misled by the authors into accepting absurd notions. For instance, Muslim women are excluded from doing anything without their husbands; Muslim men are motivated by sex with as many women as possible; Islam is a belligerent religion that derides other religions and calls for the extermination of non-believers. On this last point, consider that Islam recognizes religious luminaries from other faiths (e.g. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, to name a few) and holds them in high esteem. In this sense, Islam serves to unify people of faith by acknowledging faith leaders throughout history. Don't take my word for it -- CONSULT OTHER SOURCES on Islam. This book does a disservice to Islam and puts into question the authors' motivations.
In short, there are better books out there on Islam without the tawdry sensationalism.
