A POPULAR CHRISTIAN PROPHECY WRITER LOOKS AT ISLAM
Randall Price is the author of many other books, such as 'The Stones Cry Out: What Archaeology Reveals About the Truth of the Bible,' 'The Coming Last Day's Temple,' 'Fast Facts on the Middle East Conflict,' 'Jerusalem in Prophecy,' etc. He notes in the "Acknowledgements" section of this 2001 book that it was "initially completed before the September 11 attack on America and then rushed into rewrite!"
He distinguishes between "Christian" acts of terror ("committed... in disobedience to the word of Christ") and those of Muslims, who commit acts of terror "in obedience to the word of Muhammad." (Pg. 21) An unabashed "Christian Zionist," he argues that "It is not the Israelis who cooperate with terrorist organizations... who joined with Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War... who train young men by the hundreds to become suicide bombers... who danced with joy in their streets at news of the attack on America." (Pg. 53)
He admits that at the time of the 1948-1949 formation of the State of Israel, "Palestinian Arabs were literally scared away from their home by rumors of bloody massacres... this preinvasion violence led many Arabs to legitimately flee out of fear for their lives." (Pg. 165)
He asserts that "Anybody who does not believe that the Jewish Temple stood on the Temple Mount does not believe in history!" (Pg. 261) He also argues that "there is no historical basis for the Muslim claim that Jerusalem and the Temple Mount are Islamic holy places." (Pg. 271) He adds that "Judaism views Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem as essential for the fulfillment of its ultimate destiny toward God..." (Pg. 306)
Price's books are always provocative and challenging reading, whether or not one accepts all of his conclusions from his arguments and evidences.

April 30, 2026I read most all of this book. I read what was of interest. I learned more about how Muslims think about several things.
