    <![CDATA[<p>For 6 months, Richard Dawkins vitriolic attack on religion-<em>The God Delusion</em>-has ridden national bestseller lists. <em>Publishers Weekly</em> said this about Dawkins' book: &quot;The antireligion wars started by Daniel Dennett and Sam Harris will heat up even more with this salvo from celebrated Oxford biologist Dawkins. For a scientist who criticizes religion for its intolerance, Dawkins has written a surprisingly intolerant book, full of scorn for religion and those who believe.&quot;</p>  <p>As the antireligion wars escalate, what's needed is a rational, articulate response to this breed of &quot;New Atheists,&quot; such as Dawkins. In <em>The God Solution, </em>noted theologian James A. Beverley, Ph.D., professor of apologetics at Tyndale University College and Seminary and writer for <em>The Toronto Star</em>, provides just such a response. Writing in an accessible, estimable style, Beverley helps readers understand the many flaws in Dawkins arguments against God and religion and helps them renew their faith in a God who has proven himself again and again.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Almost one-fifth of the world's population belongs to the Muslim faith, making Islam the second largest world religion.
