Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author of Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus Nabeel Qureshi—a former Muslim—come his deeply personal, challenging, and respectful answers to the many questions surrounding jihad, the rise of ISIS, and Islamic terrorism.San Bernardino was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since 9/11, and it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. There is no question that innocents were slaughtered in the name of Allah and in the way of jihad (meaning warfare against the enemies of Islam, in this case).But do the terrorists' actions actually reflect the broader religion of Islam? The answer to this question is more pressing than ever, as many Muslim refugees are still migrating to the West, seeking shelter from the violent ideologies of ISIS, Al-Qaida, and other radical Islamic groups.Setting aside speculations and competing voices, Qureshi explores the answers to difficult questions like:What is Islam, and is it a religion of peace or violence?Is there a clear definition and doctrine of jihad?How are we to understand jihad and radical expressions of Islam in relation to our Muslim neighbors and friends?Why is there such a surge of Islamist terrorism in the world today, and how should we respond?How does jihad compare with Old Testament calls to warfare?In Answering Jihad, bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi answers these urgent questions from the perspective of a former Muslim who is deeply concerned for both his Muslim family and his American homeland.

Goodreads review by Jessica on February 28, 2016

Nabeel Qureshi is currently my favorite author. I became a huge fan after reading his previous riveting book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. It was hard to put that book down. While this one is very different in content and style, it also captured my attention and was easy to finish (something I cann......more

Goodreads review by Douglas on April 10, 2016

Very fine introduction to the subject of jihad. For those who believe that Islam is in need of a "reformation," Qureshi shows that they are experiencing a "back to the sources" reformation right now -- which is the cause of much of the turmoil.......more

Goodreads review by Mark on February 26, 2016

This repeat performance by the author of the NYT bestseller “Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus” deserves a place in the religion section of every library, public and private. Organized around eighteen vital questions, this relatively brief (173 pp.) discussion of jihad and related topics is intended for......more

Goodreads review by Aliyah on April 07, 2020

Nabeel Qureshi has done it again. Clear presentation, compelling thoughts, and Christ-like love shining through. This is a loving yet logical, understandable and thought through approach to a difficult topic. It has a unique depth and richness to it because of the author's Muslim background and it a......more

Goodreads review by Robert on March 31, 2016

They obviously didn’t begin then, but since September 11, 2001, conversations on Muslim-Christian relations have been on a sharp rise, even more so with recent worldwide bombings. Tensions are high, misunderstandings are often higher, and hate fills more rooms than the love of Christ. This is what e......more
