Book on Islam recommendation

Islam and Terrorism Revised and Updated Edition ^ | 2015 | Mark A. Gabriel

[Capt. Tom]

I have read books on Islam from many Authors including Martin Lings, Robt. Spenser , Bill Warner , Stephen Coughlin ,the Koran and the Hadiths by Bukhari. Plus others.

For a person who doesn't want to go overboard like myself, and just wants to get the basics of what is going on with Islam and us Infidels, I would recommend a book by a former Muslim who has converted to Christianity, and changed his name to Mark A. Gabriel.

Mr. Gabriel is a former Egyptian Muslim who was educated at Al Azhar Univ. in Cairo, the most influential Muslim University in the world. He spent 11 years there getting his Bachelors -Masters - and Doctors degree in History and Culture, and Of course a thorough indoctrination into Islam.

Mark Gabriel has plenty of first hand experience all over the Muslim world since he was also a visiting professor from Al Azhar Univ. to Universities in other Muslim countries.

I would recommend reading his book because it is about 200 pages long with easy to read print and not repetitious, and very much to the point.

Besides getting information on Islam he covers some of the goings on around he Muslim world and the threats to us Infidels.

The problem us Infidels have in understanding Islam is the Koran is written out of order, and there is a big difference between the earlier tolerant Mecca Chapters and the later Militaristic killing chapters in the Medina version of the Koran which supersede the earlier chapters. These Jihadi chapters are what motivates the fundamental Muslim Jihadists we have to face in the world today.

I believe this would be a great first book to read on Islam, and a good read for people who already know about the threat Islam poses to all people who don't believe in Allah and Muhammad. - Tom

Good information there.

That early on US Govt. penetration by Islamists ,before Obama was president, is what shut down our Govt. people from sounding the alarm about the Islamic threat.

Govt. and Military Jobs and pensions were at stake if you told the truth about the Islamic problem in the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. -Tom

I'm really not trying to start a religious war. This is just my opinion.

The bible is not going to help you understand Islam.

I think it does.

John 10:10- The thief (can be translated as Satan) only comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

Seems pretty straight-forward to me. That's Islam.

The bible is not going to help you understand Islam.

I think it does.

What I mean, is most Americans are familiar with baseball and football and pretty much understand the rules of those games.

One of the most popular games in the world is Soccer, and to understand it we cant apply baseball and football rules to it.
Soccer has it's own set of rules and to understand it, or play it you have to learn those Soccer rules.

Islam is radically different than Christianity, in its treatment of non-Muslims, and you have to understand the rules laid down by Allah and Muhammad to understand Islam. - Tom
