Just a note to "A. Reader". It might be fair to point out that the author is not from an English-language background. Perhaps if the critical reviewer were to write a book in Arabic, he would hope that native Arabic speakers might be a little forgiving for his lack of literary sophistication.
Having read Mark Gabriel's excellent "Islam and Terrorism", it seems to me that the important thing here is not to focus on trivial matters like literary style, but to realise that the author's message is vital and INDEED NEEDS to be spelt out plainly and clearly. Our politicians desperately need to read such books in order to reverse their blind, suicidal courting of Islam, which is in reality bent on the destruction of Western society, with a subsequent erection of Islamic states in its place.
Focus on the message, rather than its packaging!!

I am writing this review because I have been moved to start praying for Muslims worldwide after reading two books by Mark A. Gabriel.
In reading about his life (he never portrays himself as a victim), one can start to read about the pain and suffering that must have been part of his journey. His conversion from deep seated Islam to get to the place where he acknowledges Jesus as the Son of the Living God, and the Lamb of God who has taken away the sins of the world is nothing short of miraculous.
His story reminds me of the small warning that Esther was given by her cousin; along the lines of `who knows whether you are brought into the kingdom for such a time as this'. I strongly believe that this lovely gentleman has been brought in the kingdom of the Son of Righteousness who has risen with healing in his wings for such a `time as this'.
Mark A. Gabriel writes in beautiful and simple style and you can see a teacher's heart shining through his style of writing. He presents the facts as they are and it is for the reader to make up his or her mind. Another thing that shines through his writing is the earnestness and integrity of ensuring that he has done proper and thorough research. He therefore presents his material from a very rare perspective: an understanding of classical Arabic; thorough research and clarification of issues; simplicity of style and language etc.
What I note the most is that in his other book `Jesus and Mohammed' he strives to keep his quotations to the words and teachings of Jesus. It could have been very easy for him to litter his book with relevant quotes from the rest of the New Testament - especially with quotes from the Pastoral Epistles. It took me a while to adjust to this style and the constraints it poses. As you would imagine with anyone well versed in the Bible, there is a tendency to wish to quote wider than the material on the Synoptic Gospels. I read both books within 3 days.
The parallel non-accusatory style that he used in this other book was so beautiful that I started to weep - the notion is so simple: `by their fruits ye shall know them' The question in the heart of each Muslim who - I pray - will collide with destiny and read this book is this: `What fruit will/has come into my life as a result of embracing the teachings of Muhammad?'
If that person can analyse the fruit along the lines of how love in operation should act; if that person has an assurance of being accepted by God - without works; if that person can give a word in season to a person in need; if that person can understand that even our own earthly children go wrong and need correction and that the parent will still accept the apology of such a child - then he/she should continue in Islam. If on the other hand that person has but a scintilla of doubt on this very small criteria, I would urge them to embrace that life the is in the Wonderful Counsellor, the Balm of Gilead and in the Prince of Peace
I salute Mark A Gabriel for his courage; I also salute the God I serve for using such a vessel. It is so obvious to me that the Lord had a `use for him' even whilst he was a child and started to memorise the Quoran.
I should hope that he is able to meet with the likes of Faisal Malick, GJO Moshay; Anis Shorrosh etc to create a forum that both educates Christians, Jews and Muslims and has the innate resources and experience to Islam to deal with the needs who will inevitably be brought to the kingdom as a result of their ground-breaking apostolic work - Amen

This excellent and revealing book is by Mark Gabriel, a former professor of Islamic History at Al-Azhar University in Cairo. The first section of the contents of this book is devoted to his autobiography, where he is described as a former devout Muslim, who was able to recite the entire contents of the Quran by the age of twelve years. The book reveals the depth of his personal knowledge of Islam and his own participation in fanning the flames of racial hatred towards the Jews.
The autobiographical section at the beginning of this book imparts how the subject finally broke free of his anti-Semitic roots, his hatred of the Jews and tells of his conversion to Christianity. The power of the Gospel is clearly evident in this message.
The book reveals quite clearly the depth of the Islamic hatred of the Jewish people and proceeds to examine it's origins. We are treated to an in-depth analysis of this hatred with much reference to the prophet Muhammad, the Islamic holy books the Quran and the Hadith. Quotations from the latter books being frequently used to corroborate each and every issue discussed in this work. It is revealed that prior to Islam, Arabs and Jews actually "got along". Something which is studied in some detail here.

Quotations from the latter books being frequently used to corroborate each and every issue discussed in this work. It is revealed that prior to Islam, Arabs and Jews actually "got along". Something which is studied in some detail here.
The historic basis and practice of Islam is discussed together with how Jews and Christians have been historically treated by Islam. The book describes that according to Islamic law, Jews and Christians had the following options; "convert to Islam, pay the tax to the Muslim authority and remain in the faith, or be killed." In other words, "accept Islam or be killed".
Examples are cited where Jews are forced to wear "yellow" clothing and Christians "blue" to identify them as non-Muslims etc., disturbing echoes of what was to come in the twentieth century.
Even the whole basis of the Palestinian-Israeli issue is shown to be based on "religion" and having nothing to do with land. This is illustrated with numerous examples that further expose the disturbing premise that the Palestinian/Arab/Islamic world will never agree to any permanent peace treaty with the Jews, or EVER accept the existence of a Jewish state within their midst. When one hears such words from such an eminent and learned source, so conversant and experienced with the Islamic agenda, it would be foolish to ignore such a warning.
The book does not approach the Palestinian-Israeli issue from a historical or Biblical perspective, but from a Muslim point of view in order that the reader and the World can see the seriousness of the battle. The book reveals the only acceptable solution to Islam as being the destruction of Israel. Muslims believing that the land concerned belongs to Islam and not to any people group....period. Any agreement by the Palestinians or the Arab world to cede any land to Israel, or even accept an Israeli state, is not acceptable. According to Muslims the land belongs to Islam and cannot be given away. A plethora of quotations are provided to substantiate these statements.
The reader is left with a clear understanding as to why/how all the "peace negotiations" have failed at this time, despite all the offers & concessions made by Israel. The title of this work includes the phrase "the unfinished battle". Indeed it is clear that in the eyes of Islam, the battle to eradicate Israel is far from over. I highly recommend this book and wish that it could be widely read by politicians, diplomats and those behind our media entities.
A chapter of this book is devoted to the Middle Eastern Church and approaches the misconceptions of the latter about Israel and the Jews which are often sadly on a par with elements of Islam itself. Many elements of the Middle Eastern Church not recognising that the Jews have a divine right to present day Israel as outlined in the Bible.
Readers are encouraged to love Muslims in word and deed, yet to be truly aware of the teachings of Islam in relation to the Jews, Christians and the West itself. Something which the book describes as even lacking amongst many professing Muslims who allegedly just base their feelings upon what they are told and a historic hatred, without any personal experience whatsoever. The book describes that many, if not most, have been indoctrinated in such beliefs and opinions since childhood.
Might I respectfully suggest another book that could be led in parallel with this excellent work. "Islam Revealed. A Christian Arab's View Of Islam" by Anis Shorrosh. This is a book written by another author very well qualified and with much experience in this subject who is a Palestinian Christian. Thank you for your time
