Islam & Terrorism
For many years, the "Answering Islam" project has mainly
been concerned with "theological aspects" in the encounter
between Christians and Muslims. Our purpose was to provide
both parties the best possible understanding of the relevant
arguments and questions to evaluate the truth claims of
Christianity and Islam.
Islam, however, is essentially a political ideology. The
attacks of September 11, 2001 have forced us to pay more
attention to the policital aspects of Islam and its
justification to use force and even terrorism to achieve
its goals. This section is very new, still far from
comprehensive, and certainly not "politically correct",
but we make every effort to be truthful, and documented
facts will speak for themselves.
