Top Highlights
“In pre-Islamic Arabia there were over 360 gods and idols. Each community, tribe, clan, or town had its own god. These gods were both male and female and included three that were called the ‘daughters of Allah,’ Lat, Uzza, and Manat.” (Page 16)
“Folk Islam is a mixture of orthodox Islam, local indigenous beliefs, and animism. Animism is the belief that all objects are filled with unseen personal spirits and impersonal forces and powers. These spirits and powers have influence and control of human lives.” (Page 11)
“Christians should fast and pray that God would illuminate Muslims in order that they might see and accept Jesus as their personal savior. After all, ‘the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much’” (Page 7)
“These all provide the focus of attention for Folk Muslims and increase their fears. Its adherents exist in a world filled with fear.” (Page 12)
“What would you say to a Folk Muslim about fear? How would you present the gospel of peace to a Folk Muslim?” (Page 12)

As with all these journals of Islamic Biblical apologetics, only buy this if you are looking for polemical attacks on the faith of Islam. It has some interesting points to make, but makes them in a condescending and often vitriolic way. Any set of books about Islam that starts in the introduction with a call for America to bomb Mecca and Medina into the dust needs to be taken with a liberal scattering of salt, and the tone of the following information does not significantly improve. Don't avoid, but please remember, while reading, what kind of Spirit we are born into. Calling down fire like the sons of thunder earns a rebuke from our saviour. Muslims, though wrong, are no worse than us, nor more deserving of wrath, nor less loved by God.
