Une édition actualisée qui apporte un éclairage supplémentaire sur l’évolution de l’islamisme radical dans le monde
Comment Mahomet a-t-il mené sa guerre sainte et pourquoi se poursuit-elle jusqu’à aujourd’hui? Les versets qui parlent du djihad annulent-ils ceux qui prônent la tolérance? Qu’est-ce qui motive les terroristes dans l’islam? Sur quels livres s’appuient-ils? Qu’est-ce qui distingue les musulmans modérés des musulmans fondamentalistes? Comment est-on passé du printemps arabe à l’hiver de Daech? Comment défier l’idéologie qui se cache derrière l’islam radical? Autant de questions auxquelles Mark A. Gabriel répond dans cet ouvrage unique, qui fournit une foule d’informations actuelles sur l’islam, ses croyances, ses traditions, son histoire et son rapport avec la politique internationale. Un livre qui permet de mieux comprendre le monde d’aujourd’hui!
Dr. Mark Gabriel was born and raised in Egypt in an Islamic family. By the age of 12, Dr. Gabriel had the entire Quran memorized. He graduated from Al-Azhar University in Cairo and then became a professor of Islamic history at that university. He also served as the Imam (spiritual leader) of a mosque in Giza, where the pyramids are located.
In short, Dr. Gabriel was a highly prestigious figure in the Islamic world when one day he dared to question the authenticity of the Quran. That evening he was kidnapped by the Egyptian secret police and thrown in prison where he was tortured unmercifully for days due to questioning his religion. Miraculously, just as he was about to be executed, he was delivered from the prison by a relative with political connections.
During the next year while unemployed and living with his parents, Dr. Gabriel met a Christian pharmacist who gave him a Bible. That Bible led him to Jesus, and when he read the Sermon on the Mount, he decided to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. When his father discovered that Mark had become a Christian, he tried to kill him. Running for his life, Dr. Gabriel fled to South Africa where assassins were sent to kill him. Finally he fled to the United States where he was granted religious asylum.
Today Dr. Mark Gabriel is a Christian evangelist. He is also spreading the truth about Islam. He is the author of several books, including a best-seller entitled Islam and Terrorism. He has been asked by powerful governments as an adviser. He also travels the world to speak in churches, conferences and teaching in bible schools on many different topics such as, the Christian perspective on Islam, how to reach Muslems for Christ, Middle East affairs, world religions, end of time according to Islam and Christianity and the role of women in Islam and Christianity.
