Mark's book is the first book that I have read that used a simple approach towards a better understanding of the history of terrorism. His life as a Muslim, a scholar, and, now, Christian, he offered simplified, intelligent suggestions on how to end the war on terrorism. If you are confused about the history of Islam and its role in shaping the Muslim fundamentalists and moderates, this is an easy read.

I've a large collection of books on Islam and read most of them. I've read all the four books by Dr. Mark Gabriel. In my opinion, this book is the best on the subject. All political leaders and government servants and all those who are concerned with the rise of Islamic terrorism should read this book.

It has often been asked "Why do the Islamic terrorists hate us and use such violence?" But how many people search for the answer? In reading this book I have gained an understanding. I hope many others will read this book and find the answer to their questions.
