Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live at a time when religious diversity has become a fact of life in our globalized societies. Yet Christian engagement with Muslims remains complex, complicated by fear, misunderstanding and a history fraught with political and cultural tensions. These essays, drawn from the 2018 and 2019 Middle East Consultations hosted by the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary’s Institute of Middle East Studies, engage the need for a carefully developed theological understanding of Islam, its origins and its sacred text. Weaving together the work of christian scholars of Islam, the Bible, theology and missiology, along with the insights of ministry practitioners, this book combines scholarly exploration with pertinent ministry practice, offering a rich framework for the church to continue its conversation about its engagement with Muslim communities and its proclamation of Christ worldwide.

Download or read book Islam Islam s holy War Against Christians Jews and Western Culture written by Gene Keith and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I believe that we are living in one of the most critical times in American history. Some have predicted, "If present trends continue, the USA is on track to become a Muslim nation between 2021 and 2035, perhaps sooner." Consider what the terrorist leaders said about their plans to turn America into an Islamic state. - "Thanks to your democratic laws we will invade you!" - "Thanks to your religious laws we will dominate you!" - "America will have a Muslim president by the year 2020!" - On August 13, 2015, ISIS boasted that they planned to behead the Statue of Liberty. We believe that Islam is one of the most critical issues in this generation. Yet, most people have no idea what Muslims believe or what their agenda is for Christians, Jews, and our beloved America. This book was written to help our readers be able to give intelligent answers to questions like the following. 1. Who was Muhammad? Was Muhammad Black? 2. Who is Allah? Are Jehovah and Allah merely different names for the same God? 3. What is the Kabba? Where is the Kabba located? Why aren't Christians allowed there? 4. What is a caliphate? What is a caliph? 5. Can you define jihad? Can you explain "stealth" jihad. 6. Did the angel Gabriel really appear to Muhammad? What did Gabriel tell him to do?7. Is Islam a religion of peace? Are we at war with Islam?8. Why won't the media use the words Islam and terrorism in the same sentence?9. Can you explain the Islamic agenda for America, Christians and Jews?10. Why did the FBI purge 700 pages from its training manuals?11. Can you name one government agency that has not been infiltrated by Islamist?12. Why have so many colleges installed basins for Muslim students to wash their feet before praying on college campuses?13. Do you believe a devout Muslim can become good citizen?14. Do you believe America is mentioned in Bible prophecy?15. Do you believe Islam mentioned in prophecy?16. Does America actually have any defense against Islam?17. Do you believe God would actually allow Islamic terrorists to conquer America and destroy our churches?18. Do you believe in the Rapture of the Church and the Great Tribulation?19. Do you believe that Islam could be the world religion of the New World Order?20. Are you ready regardless of what happens?With these questions in mind, let's go back to the beginning and take an honest look at Mohammed, Allah, Islam, and see what the future holds for Christians, Jews, America, and Western culture.

Download or read book Islamic Law and Society written by Emine Enise Yakar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book places context at the core of the Islamic mechanism of iftā’ to better understand the process of issuing fatwās in Muslim and non-Muslim countries, thus highlighting the connection between context and contemporaneity, on one hand, and the adaptable perception of Islamic law, on the other. The practice of iftā’ is one of the most important mechanisms of Islamic law that keeps Islamic thought about ethical and legal issues in harmony with the demands, exigencies and developments of time. This book builds upon the existing body of work related to the practice of iftā’, but takes the discussion beyond the current debates with the intent of unveiling the interaction between Islamic legal methodologies and different environmental contexts. The book specifically addresses the three institutions (Saudi Arabia’s Dār al-Iftā’, Turkey’s Diyanet and America’s FCNA) and their Islamic legal opinions (fatwās) in a comparative framework. This demonstrates the existence of complex and diverse ideas around similar issues within contemporary Islamic legal opinions that is further complicated by the influence of international, social, political, cultural and ideological contexts. The book thus unveils a more complicated range of interactive constituents in the process of the practice of iftā’ and its outputs, fatwās. The work will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Islamic law, Middle Eastern studies, religion and politics.

Download or read book The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Human Rights written by Marie Juul Petersen and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1969, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is an intergovernmental organization the purpose of which is the strengthening of solidarity among Muslims. Headquartered in Jeddah, the OIC today consists of fifty seven states from the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The OIC's longevity and geographic reach, combined with its self-proclaimed role as the United Nations of the Muslim world, raise certain expectations as to its role in global human rights politics. However, to date, these hopes have been unfulfilled. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and Human Rights sets out to demonstrate the potential and shortcomings of the OIC and the obstacles on the paths it has navigated. Historically, the OIC has had a complicated relationship with the international human rights regime. Palestinian self-determination was an important catalyst for the founding of the OIC, but the OIC did not develop a comprehensive human rights approach in its first decades. In fact, human rights issues were rarely, if at all, mentioned at the organization's summits or annual conferences of foreign ministers. Instead, the OIC tended to focus on protecting Islamic holy sites and strengthening economic cooperation among member states. As other international and regional organizations expanded the international human rights system in the 1990s, the OIC began to pay greater attention to human rights, although not always in a manner that aligned with Western conceptions. This volume provides essential empirical and theoretical insights into OIC practices, contemporary challenges to human rights, intergovernmental organizations, and global Islam. Essays by some of the world's leading scholars examine the OIC's human rights activities at different levels—in the UN, the organization's own institutions, and at the member-state level—and assess different aspects of the OIC's approach, identifying priority areas of involvement and underlying conceptions of human rights.

Download or read book Islam and the Securitisation of Population Policies written by Katrina Riddell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much scholarly debate on the politically disruptive capabilities of Islam and the threats to global security posed by or to Muslim states and societies, but within this dialogue there has been little recognition of the role of population policies in security issues. Katrina Riddell's study focuses specifically on Islam and the securitization of population policies and sustainability. Opening with a discussion of contemporary population discourses and their historical foundations, the book examines how population growth has become an international security issue. The author takes the examples of Pakistan and Iran to provide a nuanced understanding of Muslim states' interaction with global debates on sustainability. She also explores how Muslim and non-Muslim states, societies and agents perceive issues of population growth and control. Providing an innovative approach to the pursuit of global sustainability and security, this book presents useful material to scholars whose research focuses on Islam and the future.

Download or read book Christian Responses to Terrorism written by Gordon L. Heath and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should Christians respond to terrorism and terrorists in their midst? Terrorism is a global problem, and no society on earth faces it alone. The mainly Christian society of Kenya has suffered more than most as it attempts to counter the threat of al-Shabaab. Some pastors have asked for permission to carry guns. Many Christians support government military action, while others recommend pacifist stances, and strive for dialogue and reconciliation with the Muslim community. In this book, ten Kenyan Christian thinkers and practitioners share their experiences and insights. A response section from seven others, including a Kenyan Muslim scholar, enrich the discussion.

Download or read book The Rule of Law Freedom of Expression and Islamic Law written by Hossein Esmaeili and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of the rule of law is universally recognised and of fundamental value for most societies. Establishing and promoting the rule of law in the Muslim world, particularly in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia, has become a pressing but complicated issue. These states have Muslim majority populations, and the religion of Islam has an important role in the traditional structures of their societies. While the Muslim world is taking gradual steps towards the establishment of rule of law systems, most Muslim majority countries may not yet have effective legal systems with independent judiciaries, which would allow the state and institutions to be controlled by an effective rule of law system. One important aspect of the rule of law is freedom of expression. Given the sensitivity of Muslim societies in relation to their sacred beliefs, freedom of expression, as an international human rights issue, has raised some controversial cases. This book, drawing on both International and Islamic Law, explores the rule of law, and freedom of expression and its practical application in the Muslim world.

Download or read book Chrislam written by Jeff Morton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important study engages the question of how much one can & should remain connected to one's Muslim heritage as that Muslim comes to embrace Christ. What should we teach others to do in a Muslim context & how should we translate the Scripture for them so the message of the New Testament is clear? On analogy with the Messianic movement, the claim is that the ability exists to extensively keep both relationships. This impacts translation & practice. It is a significant claim that needs careful assessment. The emotional line between cultural sensitivity and syncretism is thin, but the theological line between them is great. One (cultural sensitivity) is important to maintain, the other (syncretism) is crucial to avoid. This study of insider movements will help you assess what is going on, and help you begin to see the crucial difference. It is well worth the time because it is a timely, insightful book on an important topic. - Darrell L. Bock, Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary The critical question concerning the so-called insider approach to missions is not the pragmatic question of what works but the theological question of what is essential to the New Testament Gospel. William Lane Craig, Research Professor of Philosophy, Talbot School of Theology The insider movement does not produce disciples of Jesus Christ but spiritual schizophrenics. The insider movement is not inside Islam and it is not inside the Gospel. It is, in fact, more an Islamic movement than Christian. It is another form of Islam. It is a perversion and disservice to Christ. Those who have the interest of Muslims at heart should read this book again and again. Moses Gbenu, President, Ministry of Eternal Affairs, Nigeria

Download or read book Human Rights and Islam written by Abdullah Saeed and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there a basis for human rights in Islam? Beginning with an exploration of what rights are and how the human rights discourse developed, Abdullah Saeed explores the resources that exist within Islamic tradition. He looks at those that are compatible with international human rights law and can be garnered to promote and protect human rights in Muslim-majority states. A number of rights are given specific focus, including the rights of women and children, freedom of expression and religion, as well as jihad and the laws of war. Human Rights and Islam emphasises the need for Muslims to rethink problematic areas of Islamic thought that are difficult to reconcile with contemporary conceptions of human rights.

Download or read book Inside Islam written by Reza F. Safa and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 1996 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former radical Shiite Muslim unashamedly speaks out and exposes radical fundamental beliefs in his book "Inside Islam." Reza Safa, openly talks about the spirit of Islam from an insider's point of view. Safa is well-versed in the laws and history of Islam. Radical Muslims claim to believe that the Bible is untrue, eternal life is only attained by sacrifice in a holy war and that Christians are naïve and weak in their beliefs. He explains that they seem to have a lust for martyrdom and their lives are lived in fear of their god, Allah. "Fear is the darkroom in which Satan develops his negatives," says Rafa as he tells how Islam contradicts the facts and truths of the Bible. "Inside Islam" is a magnifying glass that lets you see deep into Muslim culture and society.
