Product Description:
Christianity or Islam: which is the real "religion of peace"?
Almost any liberal pundit will tell you that there's a religion bent on destroying our Constitution, stripping us of our liberties, and imposing religious rule on the U.S. And that religion is . . .Christianity! About Islam, however, the Left is silent--except to claim a moral equivalence between the two: if Islam has terrorists today, that's nothing compared to the Crusades, inquisitions, and religious wars in Christianity's past.
But is this true? Are conservative Christians really more of a threat to free societies than Islamic jihadists? Is the Bible really "just as violent" as the Qur'an? Is Christianity's history really as bloodstained as Islam's? In Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't, New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer not only refutes such charges, but also explains why Americans and Europeans must regain an appreciation of our Christian heritage if we ever hope to defeat Islamic supremacism. In this eye opening work, Spencer reveals:
* The fundamental differences between Islamic and Christian teachings about warfare against other religions: "Love your enemies" vs. "Be ruthless to the unbelievers"
* The myth of Western immorality and Islamic puritanism and why the Islamic world is less moral than the West
* Why the Islamic world has never developed the distinction between religious and secular law that is inherent in Christianity
* Why Christianity has always embraced reason--and Islam has always rejected it
* Why the most determined enemies of Western civilization may not be the jihadists at all, but the leftists who fear their churchgoing neighbors more than Islamic terrorists
* Why Jews, Christians, and peoples of other faiths (or no faith) are equally at risk from militant Islam
Spencer writes not to proselytize, but to state a fact: Christianity is a true "religion of peace," and on it Western civilization stands. If we are not to perish under Islam's religion of the sword--with its more than 100 million active jihadists seeking to impose sharia law--we had better defend our own civilization.

The title of this book saved me the $$ that this book costs and a lot of time and mental-bandwidth too. Please keep coming up with such intuitive titles to save me the time and money.
No, I'm not a Muslim.
Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ and pray to him and Mother Mary every morning and evening.

Robert Spencer has become one of my favorite writers after this effort (Religion of peace?). He is articulate, reasonable and, has an elegant writing style.
This book is interesting and well researched. The author puts to rest a lot of misconceptions about the Judeo-Christian civilization while, at the same time, he indicts Islam for the numerous alleged transgressions of modern civilized ways.
This is the best book on this subject that I have read so far.

The title of the book is full of prejudice ... obviously the author has a very set, pre-judgment, which he wants to make the world aware of. Just because Robert Spencer writes something and it's published, doesn't make it a fact. If he knew 100 people, who each knew 100 Muslims who lived up to the unoriginal stereotypes and blatant lies this book is filled with, that would still only make 10,000 Muslims. That is less than 1/100th of 1% of the world population of the nearly 1 Billion Muslims alive ... Read More

This volume by Robert Spencer should be placed alongside Paul Fregosi's "Jihad In the West", Andrew Bostom's "The Legacy of Jihad" and Ibn Warraq's "why I Am Not a Muslim". Spencer et al show conclusively that the notion that "Islam is a religion of peace" is one of the greatest frauds ever pulled upon the human race.

Don't listen to the reviewers who say Robert Spencer is not knowledgeable enough about Islam. He could teach quite a few Muslims about their own books and history, I have studied it deeply for seven years myself.
Also bear in mind the doctrine of Al-Taqiyya and Kithman or kitman, which began as a shia practice (they claim)but is widespread in all of Islam to protect the faith from outside critcism for some of it's questionable teachings. I deal daily one on one with Moslems real time, online ... Read More
