Islam is a socio-political system founded on a religion. Its laws are a set of irrevocable and unchanging religious commands written in the 7th century in a book called the Quran (Koran) by the prophet and warlord; Mohammed. Today; Islamic terrorists are killing innocent people and destabilizing governments around the world; but what do we really know about their religion; their beliefs; and their ultimate goals? We will answer the following questions and more: Where and how did Islam originate? What does the Quran actually say and mean? What do Muslims believe? What makes this religion so dangerous? Why do Muslims insist on using Sharia Law instead of the laws of any nation? Why do some claim Islam is a religion of peace even as it spawns terrorism? How and why did Islam splinter into so many violent groups? What are the Taliban; al-Qaeda and ISIS? Where did they come from and what do they want? Are terrorists and radical Muslims actually following the Quran? Do these Muslims really want a global war? Does the Quran actually support war; terrorism; slavery; polygamy; marriage to children; animal sacrifice; stoning; beating; amputation and decapitation? Why are many Muslim believers so eager to kill and die for Islam? Why are European countries sinking into lawless lands of rape; murder; and chaos under the actions of Islamic immigrants? What can be done to stop terrorism here and now? How can we defend our nation and our families against radical Islam? We will use direct quotes from major clerics and the Quran to reveal the truth about Islam. We will look into the plans of radical clerics to take over Europe and then the U.S. We will examine the history; beliefs; laws; aims; and goals of Islam. We will use the words of journalists and reporters to delve into recent events. We will uncover terrorist groups actually working with the U.S. government. We will read the words of noted security experts to gain insight into defense. We will understand radical Islam and be prepared to defend against the coming violence.

It is a very simple over view of a region and people through the "lens" of history and some insight of how it arrived at it's current position. Most of the pages are of drawings and writings covering very general concepts. Good for someone who wants some general knowledge on the subject. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. very good; but limitedBy MagymeI think it does an excellent job in presenting the basics of Islam. It must of course be written from a respectfully muslim perspective; which is why (understandably) Muhammad is treated with such veneration.There are some aspects in which it falls short; however. It makes little mention on how the schools of though in which Islam morphed (the Sunni side) relate to each other; and how people who sucribe to each one of those views are divided; for example.Also; it presents no criticism at all; but then again; it's not what this book is for. There are several books written on the faults of Islam to read later. Definately a book to purchase if you want a short introduction that beats the Wikipedia's.6 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding Primer for the UninitiatedBy David KearnsIf you have no knowledge or very little knowledge of Islam; and you want to get a quick overview; I found this to be a remarkable title. I've personally given away 1/2 a dozen or so.If you are looking for more in depth answers to questions that you have; I recommend visiting your local mosque or Islamic center to see if they have classes.
