About this audiobook
Nabeel Jabbour has excellent credentials: He's a native of Syria, a resident of Egypt for fifteen years, a possessor of advanced theological degrees, and the author of a book on Islamic fundamentalism in Egypt. In this lecture, Jabbour outlines the tenets of Islam, addressing the issues of compassion and understanding between faiths. He attempts to answer the questions, "What do Muslim people believe?" "Is Islam evil?" and "Why is America a lightning rod for the anger of many Muslim fundamentalists?" Jabbour makes distinctions between the Muslim people and the Islamic sect of fanaticism.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5it seems extreme i only got to a couple of mins..but it doesn't seem like this is what Islam potrays
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Interesting approach where I have taken a first step in learning about the Islam
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5extremely subjective review. would be better if muslim side be mentioned along.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is from a lecture given by Nabeel Jabbour. In it he describes the different kinds of Islam: Folk Islam, Secular Islam, Orthodox Islam, Contented Muslims, Ambivalent Muslims, Mystics (Sufi), and Fundamentalists. He explains each one and then generally divides them as "honest seekers" and "fanatics". I liked his illustration of Caiaphas at the trial of Jesus, and how his response to Jesus claiming divinity has effected the way many people think of Him for two thousand years. His illustration of the gospel, was clear. Well done. I will listen to more of his books.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Absolutely wrong title. Riddled with inaccuracies about islam. It should be titled, my experiences about islam.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5They don’t even know what they’re talking about. Complete bias if you want to know about what Islam truly is you gotta do your own research and find out. Islam is broad and has lot of history
