Book Review: Answering Jihad by Nabeel Qureshi

November 18, 2016 by Bob Trube 1 Comment

Summary: Contends that there is a basis in the foundations of Islam for violent, and not merely defensive, jihad, which neither can be ignored, nor assumed of all Muslims, but calls for a proactive response, particularly of Christians, of love and friendship with the hope of breaking the cycle of violence.
