Format:Hardcover
Mark Siljander is the Lawrence of Arabia of our time.

This book answers so many questions about culture and faith that governments and the media have so far failed to explore.

Written as a biography and therefore easy to read 'A Deadly Misunderstanding' is in fact the summary of a life spent studying the roots of religion and most importantly uncovering truths which if widely understood would bring much needed peace between faiths.

I will never hear the words Jihad, Infidel, Terrorist and Christian in the same way again. I'm a better man for reading this book.

Format:Hardcover
This book has a clear message, simple to understand and share with others. It brings hope for a brighter future between nations/neighbours, bringing a special emphasis on creating friendships through the person of Jesus and his message, regardless of people's background/religion; not converting people, but making friend with them. Amazingly it reminded me of a passage in Dawkins' God Delusion, where he wrote humorously "I am an atheist for Jesus"; in a way, Siljander's book makes this concept possible: those who are in search of peace, unity (that is, NOT being all the same, but being united through friendship and brotherhood) could find it through an exploration of Jesus' message, whether you are Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, from another faith or Atheist!
I thoroughly recommend this book, it is a must-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Deadly Misunderstanding 9 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
Mark Siljander's book is written in an easy to read informative style which certainly challenged my own paradigm as a Christian, in relatiion to Islam. I could not put the book down and its introduction to the influence of the Syriac language of Aramaic as a key to better understanding translations of the Qura'an and the Bible into English, from Hebrew and Arabic, is groundbreaking in his pursuit of reconciliation between the West and Muslims.

Having access to the highest courts of influence around the world ensures that his academic rigour has an open door to the ears of those who can really make a difference and we should all be grateful for his sharing the results of his studies and encouraging us with the prospect that real progress can be made in drawing the hearts and minds of those previously misunderstood into a meaningful accord.
