These days it is especially important that Christians–really, everyone–understand Islam. Islamic extremists threaten and kill those who do not agree with them. Why? Islamic ways seem strange and often cruel to us. Why do they do the things they do? What, exactly, do Muslims believe and why? Answering Islam is a British site which seeks to explore Islam, its beliefs and practices, by going to Islam’s founding history, documents, and important figures through history. The statements made about Islam are based on Islamic material, not just someone’s characterization of the religion. And the teachings of Islam are then compared to CHrist and Christianity. This serves the dual purpose of increasing our understanding of Islam and our Christian faith as well so that we may be ready to give a reason for the hope we have in Christ. Site Topics include Introductory Articles, Who Is God?, Who Is Jesus?, The Bible, Basic Christianity, The Qur’an, Muhammad, Women in Islam, Under Islamic Rule, Islam & Terrorism, Individual Authors on Answering Islam, and For Christians. The site is available in Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Malay, Persian, Russian, Thai, Turkish, and Urdu. This is a very valuable site with much of importance for today’s Christian. There are many articles and links to other sites in many languages. Bookmark it for the news headlines will cause you to return for a better understanding of what’s happening in the world today. You can contact Answering Islam at dialog2004@answering-islam.org.
