Norman L. Geisler, Ph.D., is president of Southern Evangelical Seminary and the author of more than fifty books, including the Baker Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics. Abdul Saleeb is a former Muslim who has intensively studied differences between Christianity and Islam. What are the fundamental beliefs of Islam and how can Christians respond to them? Answering Islam evaluates the claims of orthodox Islam and examines the evidence for the Christian counterclaim, preparing you with strong apologetic answers. This revised edition contains more resources and updated information throughout.

This exceptionally fluid argument against militant Islam reports more Islamic savagery than Robert Spencer's IslamUnveiled and critiques Muslim theology more thoroughlythan Timothy George's Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad? Its most important distinction is Trifkovic's insistencethat the "problem [for the West] is not prejudice about Islam, butfolly in the face of its violence and cruelty," manifested today insuch horrors as the ongoing slaughter of Sudanese Christians and theappalling anti-Semitism of the Islamic press and such Islamic legalauthorities as the mufti of Jerusalem. Trifkovic doesn't endorse war againstIslam. Instead, the West must defend itself against Islamic aggression(e.g., by restricting immigration and reducing dependence onIslamic-controlled oil) and help non-Muslims oppressed in Islamicsocieties. Powerful stuff powerfully presented.
No, nor to take the trouble to read the post which Truthfinder has put up.
He is not promoting Islam at all those sites are critical of it. Ib, you remind of those dumb Christian missionaries in the Middle East, who attack Arab Christians, calling them "wicked Muzleeems".
