On the Sunday following September 11, 2001, Reverend Kenneth Cragg worshipped as usual in his sanctuary, located directly across the street from a Muslim mosque. In a gracious act of good faith, the Islamic congregation invited the Christian congregation to join them after worship for an introduction to Islam. This event inspired Cragg to learn more about the true tenets of Islam. Was Islam really what the terrorists were saying it was, or were their beliefs terribly skewed by a deceptive human agenda? Cragg soon realized that Islam is not the enemy, terrorism is. In this study, Cragg carefully traces the history of Islam, clarifying the differences between true believers and radical terrorists. He encourages followers of Islam and Christianity alike to wage war on terror by acting as partners to build shared communities for a peaceful world. Cragg allows us to see Islam as one of the worlds great religions, not a front for terrorism.
