About
this book
More
in Common Than you Think, the Bridge Between Islam and
Christianity efficiently
explains what is islam and clearly answers the following
questions:
Does
Islam, the fastest growing religion in the world, really threaten
and oppose the democracies of the west?
Are Christians and Muslims headed for an inevitable clash reminiscent
of the ancient crusader wars?
What common ground or teachings are shared by Islam and Christianity?
Can Christians and Muslims live in mutual respect and in peace with one
another?
"We
muslims And Christians together make up more than half of the
world population today. Better understanding, communication
and peaceful relations between our communities are not only
good but they are essential for our well being and for the
well being of the world at large. The present volume is a valuable
effort in this direction. I admire Dr. William Baker's contribution
in building the bridges of understanding between Christians
and Muslims. I agree with him that we have much more in common
than we think or accept."
Dr.
Muzammil H. Siddiqi, President, The Islamic Society
of North America,

County,

"The
coming century will most surely witness either a coalition
or a collision between Islam and Christianity. I have a dream,
that positive believers from both religions will find each
other, and once finding each other, and helping each other,
can and will write a new history, a new legacy for the world:
from collision to coalition. True believers in God must move
our society and our world from compatibility to compatibility;
from intolerance to tolerance; positive Christians and Muslims
becoming partners in Peace. I am convinced this book by Dr.
Baker will prove to be a significant contribution in bringing
Christians and Muslims together to live in peace and mutual
respect."

Robert H. Schuller, Founding Pastor of the Crystal
Cathedral

Letters
about the book
Dear
Representative:
As
concerned citizens of this country, we are pleased to present
to you the book, "MORE IN COMMON THAN YOU THINK: THE BRIDGE
BETWEEN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY" by Dr. William Baker.
The book, which is listed by Amazon.com and Bornes and Noble
as among their top ten best sellers, presents the common ground
shared by the two largest religions in the world, Islam and
Christianity. We believe the many commonalties far exceeds
the difference between Christians and Muslims and form a solid
base to build good community relations between our faiths.
The author, Dr. William Baker, a Christian Scholar, has spent nearly
thirty years of his life living and studying in various Muslim and Arabic
countries, and has long envisioned the faithful followers of Jesus and
Muhammad living in peace, tolerance, and mutual respect.
The followers of Islam and Christianity now comprise nearly half of the
world population. We, Christians and Muslims, believe that through greater
understanding of both religions, peace and continued progress are assured
across America and around the world.
The coming new millennium will most surely record either a collision
or a coalition between the members of our respective religions. We believe
now is the time to form a lasting bond of friendship, tolerance, and
understanding between ourselves. We hope that you will read the following
book and will then promote and support various opportunities for peace
between Christians and Muslims around the world.
We would value any comments or questions you may have. Thank you and
may God bless you for helping us spread the word of peace and understanding.
Dear
Dr. Baker:
This letter is to express my gratitude for your remarkable book, More
in Common than you Think, the Bridge Between Islam and Christianity.
For such a true and eye catching title, I anxiously read your book from
cover to cover in one sitting. It deeply touched my heart. The subject
matter and the information it provides is truly timely and relevant.
This book is much needed for our time. As the west faces and deeply suffers
from the misrepresentation of the religion of Islam, your book comes
as an excellent means of presenting a true picture of Islam and Muslims
and in providing many common points between Islam and Christianity. What
makes this presentation extremely convincing is the fact that it is coming
from a respected Christian scholar. To help prevent a collision between
Muslims and Christians, and help change the public-opinion towards Islam
and Muslims, I believe your book is an effective tool in America and
the world.
I would like to tell you about two events which confirmed my belief in
the important role of your book in America. The first event was with
my supervisor at work, to whom I had given your book. After he read it,
he approached me as a whole new person with a new understanding and respect
for Islam. He thanked me for the book and told how impressed he is for
its truth and valuable information. He then asked me where to buy it.
When I told him it was not yet available in any book store or library,
he was disgusted and responded: "This book should be red not by
every in America only, but by very one in the world." I shall never
forget the look upon his face concerning the limited ability to obtain
and advertise such a valuable work.
The second event involved one of my co-workers whose view of Muslims
and Islam was quite negative. I offered him your book and asked him to
read some of it. Though skeptical, he did accept my offer. When I gave
him the book while waiting at the airport for our different flights for
different destinations, I expected him to glance at it and return it
back to me. Instead, however, he looked it over and continued to read
it for the next two hours. In a somewhat apologetic manner, before his
departure, he thanked me for the book and said: "This book has taught
me things I never knew before. It has changed my belief about Islam."
Your work has successfully brought people closer together and has made
the possible enemies friends. I hope and pray that Allah rewards you
greatly and in abundance for such a blessed, precious and beautiful book.
Peace be with you.
Sincerely,
F. Burhan, Director, Center for Islamic Studies.
