Pittsburgh, PA -- Almost eight years afterward 9-11, a new book warns benightedness of Islam threatens America's freedom.
Almost eight years afterward our acquaintance of 9-11, Americans abide badly conflicted about the adoration of Islam, accomplished by 20 to 25 percent of the humans of the planet. In a new book just released, Journeys into the Heart and Heartland of Islam, accounting by Marvin W. Heyboer, Ph.D., appear by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc., Pittsburgh, the columnist urges readers to acknowledgment the basic question: In the deathwatch of agitator attacks and threats of jihad, how do we and how should we chronicle to Muslims? Heyboer asserts that it is not a botheration of anecdotic acceptable Muslims and bad Muslims. Rather it is a amount of compassionate the article of Islam apropos alarm so that we can accept whether acts of alarm are an aberancy of or are connected with the attempt of Islam as accomplished by its astrologer Mohammed.
In the end, Heyboer provides an acknowledgment to the question: Why do Muslims abhorrence us so much? He concludes it is because the Judeo-Christian acculturation banned to accept Mohammed was the accomplishment of the prophecies of Moses and Jesus. He sets alternating his acceptance that our affair should not be about what anniversary Muslim does or does not do but about what Islam instructs all Muslims to do. He believes that because of our benightedness of and abnegation to aboveboard altercate and alarmingly abstraction Islam, we are on a blow advance with Islamic angelic law and that America's abandon is at jeopardy. This assessment is hardly politically actual or conceivably even charitable, but the stakes are too top to avoid this able-bodied researched and thoroughly accurate work.
Dr. Heyboer is an advancing abbot is the Christian Reformed Church of North America with degrees from Calvin Theological Seminary and San Francisco Theological Seminary. He has committed his activity in the aegis of the poor and afflicted and is a bedfellow apostle on this accountable in the United States and at all-embracing conferences sponsored by the International Christian Union.
If one "Googles" American Christian angle on Islam, a array of links appear demonstrating a advanced swath of attitudes. Thomas Kidd's book, American Christians and Islam, appear by Princeton University Press, is the aboriginal access cited. According to reviews and ad copy, this book presents a appeasing and abstinent appearance of Islam and chides Americans for their abhorrence to accede Christianity's apostolic commonalities with Islam. Next there is a website that data exact assaults adjoin Muslims by fundamentalist Christians. That advertisement is followed by a YouTube video on why the babe of a Christian abbot adapted to Islam. After the video we acquisition links to analysis studies on Americans' angle about Muslims. Immediately afterward 9-11, Americans with favorable angle of Islam rose from 45 percent to 59 percent. Later acclamation showed 70 percent of Americans accept Islam is a adoration of violence.
Heyboer claims that political and religious leaders of the West parrot the claims of Islam that it is a adoration of accord and altruism while alms no affidavit that this is so and blank Islam's history of violence. He is balked at the abridgement of analytical appraisal of the fundamentals of Islam and the activity of Mohammad and abashed at the blackout of our media and politicians apropos acts of abandon and atrocity committed on an advancing base by Muslims adjoin non-Muslims in abounding locations of the world. He is afraid that America is acquirements about Islam from Islam, rather than through accurate abstraction of history and primary sources alms insights and advice about the religion.
Heyboer accordingly sets out in his book to attending at the article of the Koran, the activity of Mohammed as appear by his ancient biographer, and current-day narratives of humans active beneath the ascendancy of Islam with a ambition to actuate whether the doctrines of alarm war (jihad) and alarm chains (dhimmitude) are in actuality accomplished and accomplished in Islam. His aim is to access Americans' acquaintance of the accurate letters of Islam and to advance greater artlessness in our country appear accessible discussions of Islam. Without such discussion, Heyboer believes we will abort to assure our country's alone freedoms, abetment non-Muslim victims of abandon throughout the world, and activate and affranchise Muslim peoples apprenticed by the administrative absolutism of Islam through the artifice of Islamic law - sharia.
The columnist sites the Koran as teaching that jihad, in accession to accepting a airy quest, is aswell a charge to beat non-believers. Heyboer claims his analysis and account of this angelic book, absolute Mohammed's article on the will of Allah as anon announced to him through the angel Gabriel, has led the columnist to achieve that it prescribes it is the religious assignment of Muslims to action and abort those who abolish the faith. He describes in active detail the activity of Mohammed, from appeaser to apostle to protector to adversary to conquistador and illustrates that throughout his canicule he became added and added agitated until its acme in a acme of abandon at the time of his death. He presents testimonies of non-Muslim people, Christian Copts and non-Muslim humans of the Sudan and Nigeria, who abide beneath the ascendancy of cultural, political and religious Islam to allegorize how agitation and arrogant abandon mark the behavior of Islamic regimes.
