Answering Jihad- A better way forward by Nabeel Qureshi

A former moderate (but devout) Muslim unpacks the mystery and the complexity that is Islam. Why are most Muslims (and this means millions) peace-loving, family oriented and generally good citizens; yet inextricably linked by their common religion into horror stories of genocide, terrror and unspeakable cruelties like those committed by such entities as Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and Isis ?

In a welter of extremist positions and polarized views that have escalated sensitivities to a fever pitch of fear and aggression Nabeel brings the realities together with "clarity and charity". His voice is a much needed clarion call for compassion, a clear direction in the confused state that grips the world at large.
