Muhammad, Judah & Joseph Smith: Ideologies in Conflict

Meer over het boek

The recent terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, DC, and the fields of Pennsylvania-along with the continuing upheaval in Israel-have brought into focus the differing beliefs that prompt such conflicts. But are the fundamental beliefs of these religions really so different? In Muhammad's farewell address, he emphasized three * All Muslims are brethren unto one another and equal in every respect.* An Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, or non-Arab over an Arab.* A white man does not possess any superiority over a black man, nor a black man over a white man. These points are shared throughout nearly all religions. In this book, author C. Reynolds MacKay shows the similarities to the beliefs of the Muslims, Jews and Mormons-but also why these beliefs have triggered unthinkable tragedies. This fascinating analysis shows how religious beliefs have torn the world apart-yet could someday bring them together.
