Letter from the Editor

Dear Bookseller:

In depressing economic times, it is difficult to focus one’s attention past the immediate travails at home. And yet, the fact remains that America is at war on two fronts in the Middle East: Iraq and Afghanistan; the issue of Palestine remains as intractable as ever, and much of the Arab world is deeply suspicious of American intentions, if not outright hostile to the American way of life. It is a clash of cultures, of religions that increasingly seek salvation through the utter destruction of the other.

According to bestselling author, Joel Rosenberg, amidst this overarching conflict there's a revolution going on in the Muslim world with different factions vying for control. He identifies and analyzes three specific factions, two of which are friendly toward America and one of which wishes no less than the total destruction of our country—or the conversion of every one of our citizens to Islam. Mr. Rosenberg takes us deep inside all three factions, portraying both the threat and the hope that lie in the balance of the Islamic revolution.

The Radical faction envisions a world populated only by Muslims and intends to achieve its objectives either by converting "infidels" or by destroying them. The Reform faction envisions a world where there is mutual respect and understanding among people, regardless of their religion. The Revivalist faction envisions a world where, increasingly, more and more Muslims abandon their religion and convert to Christianity, denouncing jihad and embracing the concept of God's love.

Personally, I put my faith in the reform faction and those who would follow a middle path. For the others mentioned, and even those not, I can offer only a divine man’s allegory—who instructed a follower to remove the mote from his own eye, to see more clearer how to remove the mote in another’s.
