Description: I found this book to be very informative about the history and truth behind Islam. The writer was a muslim and an active member of the PLO. His family background was high up in moslem leadership. In trying to convert his wife to Islam he compared the Koran with the Bible and was surprised to find facts about Islam in the Old Testament. It revealed to him that the god of Islam is not the same as the God of the Bible. He is now serving the one true God and as a result lost his family, property and is danger of losing his life.
Details: I must admit, this book is not an easy read. It is, however, very relevant to our current events. For younger readers born in the 80s and beyond, it fills in the blanks in our history lessons as well as providing a unique perspective on Bible interpretations and the truth about Islam.
After the history lesson, beginning in chapter 6 or 7, the book caught my interest and I was unable to put it down. If you have any interest in prophecy, what Islam is all about, or you've heard Mr. Shoebat speak, then I would recommend this book.
Review Summary: Why I left Jihad....should be renamed When I started to lie
Date: 2008-04-09
Details: So now that the Haaretz and Shoebat's own family has debunked him...one wonders about his penchant for prevarication...Perhaps some Muslim imams might advise Shoebat that the Jihad he ought to be fighting is against his inner demons. Victory would be coming clean as to why he has lied for so long.and so egregiously, purporting to do so out of love for Jesus.
Review Summary: Not the greatest book I have ever read
Date: 2008-03-10
Details: The author is excellent with his background on Islam as he was a former Muslim. He warns the readers of the dangers of Islam. I commend him for that.
But the book is severely let down by his view of the end times. I thoroughly disagree with his view as it doesn't line up with the Bible. The author's problem is that he takes the view of the end times from 21st Century mindset instead of 1st Century mindset when the New Testament was written.
Review Summary: Dont need a religion lesson
Date: 2008-01-01
Details: I was looking for a book with some insight into why people get into this Jihad business, but this books spends more time quoting the Koran and Bible than any real real life experiences the author may have had. very lacking
