Customer Reviews

Book was very very informative ,I now am beginning to understand the mind set of Islam! Thank you.

There is a lot of very good and power information ,they are also put together in an understandable way that all can understand. I have been praying for a time for a book that went in depth to the mind set of the enemy (Islam) the mindset of the god they the muslim serve. It was worth every penny I spent . I would recommend this book to all to read.

An Authentic and Revealing Exposure Indeed.

The Caner Brothers have done a really good and bold job. They not only write symphatetically on Islam, their former religion they had left, but also very factually indeed. Being one who is knowledgeable in Islam, I can vouch for the originality and inherent authenticity of all they've written What the detracting reviewers are frustrated about, like the one below, is the shining and unmistakeable expose of the inconsistencies, incongruencies and glaring fallacies that are found all over the Quran and in Islam itself.Thats why its not just the Caner brothers who have given up Islam, but there are many learned and intelligent muslims too, who are likewise making the right, wise and bold step of leaving this oppressive religion and ideology. Which can be best described as a true cultic heresy of Christianity and Judaism that has taken on unwarranted political and militaristic proportions.This great Book really deserves SIX Golden Stars for its refreshing but TRUE expose!! Congratulations to the Caner brothers.

A Must Read For Our Time !

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 mart

Great reference, a little preachy.

Being an atheist with a thirst for knowledge of religions, and already knowing a great deal about islam, I picked up this book to check out what an insider felt about the religion. These guys have compiled a great quick read of some of the beliefs of islam. Obviously this book is biased, but the arguments are incredibly well supported. The book is kind of geared towards a christian who wants to witness to a muslim and that gives it an even more biased feel. If you don't believe what these guys are saying, I suggest you follow up on some of their references, especially those references that support the goodness of islam. The book is great, and I recommend it to anyone wanting to get a quick grasp of what the muslim beliefs are. You should also keep in mind that just as there are christians who never go to church and never read the bible and don't really understand their onwn religion, so are there muslims who do the same. Not all muslims believe in the causes for jihad, and they just want to be peaceful. The difference is these muslims are contradicting and being hypocritical to their professed belief system.

Best book available on Islam

I have been studying Islam since 911 and have read over 14 books on the same, including two translations of the Qur'an. This book is, by far, the best-of-the-best.This book is factual and tells what other books will not, because of PC. It tells the truth about Islam and gives quotes from the Qur'an and the Hadith to support the Caner brothers' statements.Great book...very timely.
