| Résumé : |
For many in the West, the worldwide presence of Islam has gone largely unnoticed over the years. Islam has simply been perceived as just another world religion. Meanwhile, Muslims have been quietly establishing themselves in most Western cultures and nations, and their places of worship have risen alongside the existing churches and gathering places in these communities.
Suddenly, however, Islam has become "the enemy," a force to be reckoned with and confronted. With catastrophic terrorism and war zones dotting the globe, Western nations are desperately trying to understand what lies behind all this hostility. In Sword of Allah, author David Zeidan explores the meaning of today's alarming events and paints a sobering picture of how we've come to this place. By drawing heavily from Islamic history and original sources, Zeidan creates a fascinating context for contemporary Muslim rage. Even more importantly, he provides a foundation for understanding the Muslim mindset by carefully comparing and contrasting it with Christian history and evangelical thinking. Along the way he explores: - How violence and warfare emerge from the heart of Islam, not just from its radical fringes - Why the Islamic fundamentalist minority enjoys popular support within the much broader Islamic community - The extent to which true Muslims are devoted to God, scripture, and political control - Why terrorism and martyrdom make sense from an Islamic perspective - How Christians and evangelicals should frame their perspectives and response to contemporary Islam. A concise yet thoroughly documented work, Sword of Allah will make an important contribution to the perspective of anyone attempting to reconcile current events with Christian convictions. |
