A Better Way Forward Written by Nabeel Qureshi In Answering Jihad, Pakistan-born and U.S. raised former Muslim and New York Times bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi explores what jihad is, how it relates to ISIS and Islamic terrorism today, and the most appropriate reaction for Christian believers. Nabeel notes that ‘San Bernardino’ was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since 9/11, and that it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. While there is no question that innocents were slaughtered in the name of Allah and in the way of jihad, but do the terrorists’ actions actually reflect the religion of Islam? The answer to this question is more pressing than ever, as waves of Muslim refugees arrive in the West seeking shelter from the violent ideology of ISIS. In this book, Nabeel sets aside speculations and competing voices, and looks at what really is jihad. How does one understand jihad in relation to one’s Muslim neighbors and friends? Why is there such a surge of Islamist terrorism in the world today, and how is one to respond? In Answering Jihad, bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi, whose first book ‘Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus’ is autographic, answers these questions from the perspective of a former Muslim who is deeply concerned for both his Muslim family and his American homeland. Paperback, 173 pages, the book features 1) a glossary of foreign words and concepts, 2) a selective timeline of Jihad in Islam.
