Nabeel Qureshi

30 | JULY 2016 From New York Times bestselling author and former Muslim Nabeel
Qureshi comes this personal, challenging, and respectful answer to
the many questions surrounding jihad, the rise of ISIS, and Islamic
terrorism.

San Bernardino was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since
9/11, and it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. 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. Setting aside speculations and com-
peting voices, what really is jihad? How are we to understand jihad in
relation to our Muslim neighbors and friends? Why is there such a surge
of Islamist terrorism in the world today, and how are we to respond?
In Answering Jihad, bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi (Seeking Allah,
Finding Jesus) answers these questions from the perspective of a former
Muslim who is deeply concerned for both his Muslim family and his
American homeland
