The book assesses the subject of dialogue between Christianity and Islam within the context of the terrorist attack upon America on September 11, 2001. It explores the rage within Islam and seeks to answer the question as to why so many people in Islamic societies hate America.
The book is emphatic in stating that in order to gain respectability in the world, Islam has to engage in a battle for its soul against the corruptive influences of terrorist elements such as Bin Laden, while engaging in a public relations strategy to convince the world of its sincerity of not being a religion of violence.
Equally in critiquing Christianity, the book is scathing in its denunciation of the siege mentality that has taken hold of the Church in its desire for political correctness in a culture of moral relativism. The conclusion drawn is for dialogue between both religions that will enhance understanding among their adherents.
