Synopsis

Islam has presented two contrary faces to the outside world. The face presented to us when Islam is attempting to gain influence and converts is one of peace and mercy. The face we are shown when Islam is in control or is seeking to punish those who refuse to submit to its demands is one of threats, violence and hatred. Both faces are clearly presented and advocated in the Quran and exemplified in the attitudes and practices of Muhammad. So which face of Islam actually reveals the true Islam for today?What is the basis for this determination of authentic Islam? What evidence is there to support claims for the divine origin and reliability of the Quran? How can we genuinely evaluate Muhammad's claim to be a prophet? These and other questions are thoroughly answered from the Quran, by Muhammad and other Muslim and non-Muslim scholars.
