Title: Understanding Islam requires understanding Christianity
Product review: The biggest problem here is that Phipps does not discuss the Christian and Jewish sources of Muhammad's revelation. Muhammad thought he was a prophet in the Jewish sense and when the Jews of Arabia rejected him he decided to pretend he was more a follower of Abraham than were the Jews. It is clear here that both Islam and Christianity were attempts to steal the religion of the Jews and make them unbelievers despite their pretense of belief. This has great meaning today when Islam is the enemy of the Christian West and of Israel. Islam is a Judaeo-Christian heresy and not a religion in its own right.The Jews have suffered from Christians and Muslims for the same reason: they are made to be bad believers, yet Christians have in fact become polytheistic with their Trinity and Muslims have become Jew-haters and bible distorters.
