Summary: Provocative and informative...
Review: Another excellent work by Muhammed Asadi!This book is very easy and enjoyable to read, while at the same time dealing with very intriguing topics. This book does a very good job to show what the Quran and Islam are *really* about. Years of corruption, misrepresentation, high-profile fringe groups, and simple ignorance have clouded the west's view of Islam. This book does an excellent job of cutting through the misinformation. If for no other reason than to understand what Islam is really about, Christians should read this book. Christians may choose not to agree with everything in the book, and that is fine. However, it should be eye-opening to see that two of the major western religions have more in common than they might realize.

Summary: The Truth
Review: I gave this book a 3 because it was readable but does not tell the complete truth. This is also a book Christians should read but not because Islam is the truth but because the author is unable to reconcile the reality of Jesus with the unlikely prophethood of Muhammad. The reader should first study Muhammad, his life, his behavior and his obvious weaknesses. Even the Koran itself informs us that Muhhamad broke promises when he found it advantageous. Readings in the Koran and from Muhammads life will point to a man searching for God, who created a religion by copying ancient Biblical and Judaic texts, combining those with his own cultural nationalism. For example: A. Deedat claims that the Koran is a mathematical miracle based on the number nineteen. Readers of the Bible realize that many ancient peoples used numerology to hopefully become one with God.
Yes a book worth reading..It confirms that Jesus is the Prophet.

Summary: TRUTH OF ISLAM DEMONSTRATED
Review: Review by Zaine Ridling Ph.D. Of all the books, namely the Quran, that your church would NOT want you to read as a Christian, Asadi's pinpoint comparative examination between the scriptures of the Quran and the New Testament is one of them! First, the book relies on historical and anthropological research, along with how the Quran in many instances seeks to correct the idolatry of Christianity (which, of course, the Jews recognized right away), but then shows how during the first century CE, Christianity turned the wonderful prophet Jesus into a mythical character, and eventually established him as God in its own scriptures. Asadi then comes back around and shows how Christianity could be reconciled if only it could alter its seminal view of Jesus and get back to the religion that Jesus himself practiced throughout Israel. Asadi does not disparage the New Testament, but shows how the Quran, as the Final Testament of God, is the pure and uncorrupted Word of God. This book does certainly force a paradigm shift on those who read it, perhaps because Asadi not only argues cogently, but writes with a clarity that is rare.
