“I didn’t just do research about Islam; I lived if for thirty-four years!” -Mark Gabriel

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

After earning a Ph.D. in Islamic history, Mark A. Gabriel became convinced that Muhammad did not speak for God. His search for truth led to the love of Jesus Christ, as well as complete rejection from his family and two attempts against his life by political fundamentalists. Now pursuing a Ph.D. in world religion at a Christian university, he speaks and writes about the true nature of Islam with the non-emotional accuracy of an academician. As a reflection of his new life in Christ, he has chosen a Christian name to replace his Islamic name.

I am Chinese. But I want to learn more about the continuous conflicts between Arabs and Jews (between Islam and Judaism, now I should say, after reading this book). I bought several books besides "Islam and the Jews," such as one edited by Robert Spencer, one written by Bernard Lewis, and one written by Bat Ye'or.

The book by Mark Gabriel is the easiest to read and understand. One of the reviewers said that this book has a "bad" writing style equivalent to that of a 10-year old. I should say that this book is so easy to read so that even a 10-year old will grasp the ideas very well. The writing style of Gabriel is causal, unlike the scholarly and paintaking style of Ye'or and others. For example, Ye'or wrote an entire book about Dhimmitude; Gabriel described what I need to know tersely in one chapter (Chapter 18). Despite the causal writing style, the materials are serious, the analysis great, and the attitude sincere.

Gabriel, formerly an Imam and a professor in Islamic history, is now a Christian. He dedicated two chapters to preach about Christianity as a means to resolve the Islam-Judaism conflict(like other reviewers, I don't think that will work). If Gabriel has a hidden agenda in his book, I guess it is related more to his current faith in Christianity than his bias against Islam. Everything he said seems very objective to me.

If you want to have a reasonably good and credible understanding about the conflicts in the Middle East and about those Islamic radicals, you need only to spend three hours on Gabriel's book.

I am deeply indebted to Dr. Gabriel for helping me to understand some very important things about Islam, the Holy Koran, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad. Here are some of the most crucial points the author explains:

1. Muhammad lived and preached in Mecca for a number of years, attempting to win Jewish converts with friendly persuasion and preaching in favor of tolerance. When this did not work, he turned against the Jews and declared he had received new revelations instructing all Muslims to either kill non-believers who would not convert, force them to pay a tax, or drive them into exile. The fate of all non-believers was in the hands of the Moslems.

2. After moving his base of operations to Medina, Muhammad personally led 27 massacres against Jews, and preached that jihad was a requirement for all faithful Moslem believers. Conversion and control was by the sword.

3. Anyone who attempts to read the Koran needs to have an edition that makes it clear which chapters were written in Mecca and which were written in Medina. The chapters are not chronological. The Medina scriptures supersede the Mecca scriptures, and make them obsolete if there is any contradiction.

4. Moslems believe that Abraham was the first Moslem, and that the Jews have corrupted the Torah by removing any prophecy regarding the eventual birth of Muhammad and his Islamic teachings.

5. The life story of Abraham and his sons Ishmael and Isaac, as Moslems believe it, is much different from the account in the book of Genesis. According to Islam, it was not Isaac that the Lord commanded Abraham to sacrifice, but Ishmael.

6. The goal of Moslems is to rid Jerusalem of all non-Moslems, because their presence in the city "corrupts" the great mosque that now stands atop the Dome of the Rock.

7. Jesus is regarded as merely a Jewish prophet, and his teachings are far less important than those of Muhammad, who was supposed to be the last and final prophet.

8. The ultimate goal of Islam is to conquer the world, theologically and politically. All other religions and secular governments must be abolished.

If these claims and other aspects of Islamic faith sound strange, shocking, or perhaps absurd, you will enjoy reading Mark Gabriel's book. Many Moslems will object to what Gabriel has written and deny that they believe some of these things. Nevertheless, Gabriel gives an accurate picture of what Islam really teaches, and makes it clear that the so-called "radical" Moslems aren't really radical at all, but rather practicing their faith as the Prophet Muhammed intended and the Koran (Medina scritures) teaches. He quotes extensively from the Koran and explains each of the above points very clearly and without apology. If you want to learn the absolute truth about Islam, this and Gabriel's other books are what you need.

I’ve read the author’s previous book on Jesus and Muhammad and must say this book also matches that book in level of information. Much of the information in the book is reiterated in this book. Given the current 2023 Israel-Hamas War, I thought it would be a good time to read books regarding the topic. The author has two Doctorates in Islamic and Christian studies so he’s well informed to both. As a ex Muslim and having growing up in Nasser era Egypt, he knows how Arabs feel about the State of Israel and Jews in particular. In the book he argues, using experience, the Quran, and hadiths, that Islamic religion and culture is the main driving force in the Arab conflict and refusal to make peace. And it’s a convincing book.

That said, I will be taking a star off due to two facts. One was the author saying that the Reformation was God punishing the “Roman” Catholic Church by taking away its power. That does not fit with the scriptures saying God desires us to be one. Two he presents the Crusades as morally equivalent to Jihab and does little explanation about the events themselves or why they were fought. (No mention of the Byzantine emperor’s call for aid because of Islamic advances in Anatolia, the Muslim occupation of Spain, or Arab slave raids in the Mediterranean.) I will acknowledge though this book is about 21 years old and the author was educated in an evangelical Protestant university and probably social bubble. Hopefully if he ever does a revised edition, he’ll work on some of the scholarship regard this and writing format.
All in all it’s an easy read and can be finished in two days at an average pace.

The book is a powerful book in understanding about the Islam and Jews. My heart broke and cried for all muslims and Jews as well as other nations. We are all so broken, fighting with each other, for what? For land and religion! It is 2018 and we have not moved on.
A must read for everyone who has Muslim/Jew friends. Be kind to them.

I am writing this review because I have been moved to start praying for Muslims worldwide after reading two books by Mark A. Gabriel.

In reading about his life (he never portrays himself as a victim), one can start to read about the pain and suffering that must have been part of his journey. His conversion from deep seated Islam to get to the place where he acknowledges Jesus as the Son of the Living God, and the Lamb of God who has taken away the sins of the world is nothing short of miraculous.

His story reminds me of the small warning that Esther was given by her cousin; along the lines of `who knows whether you are brought into the kingdom for such a time as this'. I strongly believe that this lovely gentleman has been brought in the kingdom of the Son of Righteousness who has risen with healing in his wings for such a `time as this'.

Mark A. Gabriel writes in beautiful and simple style and you can see a teacher's heart shining through his style of writing. He presents the facts as they are and it is for the reader to make up his or her mind. Another thing that shines through his writing is the earnestness and integrity of ensuring that he has done proper and thorough research. He therefore presents his material from a very rare perspective: an understanding of classical Arabic; thorough research and clarification of issues; simplicity of style and language etc.

What I note the most is that in his other book `Jesus and Mohammed' he strives to keep his quotations to the words and teachings of Jesus. It could have been very easy for him to litter his book with relevant quotes from the rest of the New Testament - especially with quotes from the Pastoral Epistles. It took me a while to adjust to this style and the constraints it poses. As you would imagine with anyone well versed in the Bible, there is a tendency to wish to quote wider than the material on the Synoptic Gospels. I read both books within 3 days.

The parallel non-accusatory style that he used in this other book was so beautiful that I started to weep - the notion is so simple: `by their fruits ye shall know them' The question in the heart of each Muslim who - I pray - will collide with destiny and read this book is this: `What fruit will/has come into my life as a result of embracing the teachings of Muhammad?'

If that person can analyse the fruit along the lines of how love in operation should act; if that person has an assurance of being accepted by God - without works; if that person can give a word in season to a person in need; if that person can understand that even our own earthly children go wrong and need correction and that the parent will still accept the apology of such a child - then he/she should continue in Islam. If on the other hand that person has but a scintilla of doubt on this very small criteria, I would urge them to embrace that life the is in the Wonderful Counsellor, the Balm of Gilead and in the Prince of Peace

I salute Mark A Gabriel for his courage; I also salute the God I serve for using such a vessel. It is so obvious to me that the Lord had a `use for him' even whilst he was a child and started to memorise the Quoran.

I should hope that he is able to meet with the likes of Faisal Malick, GJO Moshay; Anis Shorrosh etc to create a forum that both educates Christians, Jews and Muslims and has the innate resources and experience to Islam to deal with the needs who will inevitably be brought to the kingdom as a result of their ground-breaking apostolic work - Amen
