In the aftermath of devastating terror attacks like San Bernardino and Paris, the world is left grappling with a crucial question: does the brutal violence carried out in the name of Allah and jihad reflect the true essence of Islam? As Muslim refugees flee the radical ideologies of ISIS, Al-Qaida, and other extremist groups, seeking solace in the West, this inquiry has never been more pressing. Former Muslim and New York Times bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi tackles this complex issue head-on, shedding light on the mysteries surrounding jihad and Islamic terrorism. Through his deeply personal and respectful exploration, Qureshi addresses the most difficult questions, including: What is the true nature of Islam - a religion of peace or violence? Is there a clear doctrine of jihad, and how does it relate to our Muslim neighbors and friends? Why is Islamist terrorism on the rise, and how should we respond? In Answering Jihad, Qureshi provides thoughtful, insider insights, drawing from his unique perspective as a former Muslim and his deep concern for both his Muslim family and his American homeland.
