This book is excellent and should be read by anyone concerned by the intentions of Islam. The format focuses on the fundamentals of how and why the Muslim and Christian think and act as they do, based on the stark differences in religion and thought.
The authors have impeccable credentials to know both Islam and Christianity intimately. Their scholarship is not only first class but is easily understood.
The book is set out so that future reference to specific topics is easy.
Presentation of the material is factual and unemotional, showing the situation exactly as it is, largely based on thorough familiarity with the writings of both religions.

The Caner Brothers expose the spiritual poverty of Islam and their antagonistic detractors only reinforce their argument. If Islam is superior on its own merit, why are Christians so feared? Perhaps Islam provides no answers to the yearnings of the human soul, i.e. Does God love me? Like all totalitarian systems, Islam thrives through force, represssion, exclusion and fear. Jesus Christ and his message of love appeals to every seeking human heart and it is this truth that Islam cannot abide.

Well written and documented! It is the best book I've read on the subject so far and I have read over twenty books.
 Jesus Loves You, Muhammad Doesn't. End of Argument! September 23, 2006

When I first learned about their book "unveiling Islam", it surprised me, not because it was promoted as a methodological and balanced attempt to compare the Islam and Christianity from a textual perspective, but because it was done by authors who described themselves as Ex-Muslims. I expected evidence based insider comparison on the superiority of the Christian faith to its Muslim counterpart. It took me twenty pages to learn the book was nothing but another sensational attempt to score a timely hit in church propaganda.
The misquotations and translational mistakes were so ridiculous that they couldn't come from anyone with basic knowledge in Arabic, let alone original Islamic texts. For example, their interpretations of the concepts of love, hate, despise, inspiration, speaking to the dead, and many others.
The authors provided a strong argument for Muhammed's delusions, which they based on a historically discredited text that was mentioned in another widely disputed book, "Satanic Verses". In another argument, they mention a story about a man who defected from Islam, fled Medina back to Mecca, and claimed that he used to write the Quran in words other than those dictated by Muhammad, without him knowing. What the authors failed to report was the rest of this man's story, in which he later admitted that he was lying, converted back to Islam, and actually died while praying in Tunisia in which he served as one of the great military leaders in Muslim history.
Dozens of such obvious mistakes made me suspect they were not innocent misinterpretations. This last book confirmed my suspicions. It's a plain old church pamphlet. Looks like the authors finally gave up their claim of scientific analysis in their approach to compare Islam to Christianity and reverted to the old: you should come to us because Jesus loves you, while Muhammad doesn't. For those who love this kind of talk, fine. For those who want serious comparative religion studies, try somewhere else. My personal favorite in this regards is J. F. Dirks' "The Ibrahamic Faiths" and "The Cross and The Crescent".
