It is an informative, intriguing and inspiring document dealing with the beginning of Islam in mysterious Mecca all the way to bustling Baghdad of today. Dr. Shorrosh asks the questions, is Islam a schizophrenic religion with a face for peace and one for war? Can Muhammad be blamed, the Quran or both for the violence of Islam? Will devoted American Muslim citizens support the constitution or the Quran in the next few years of world-wide conflict with Islamic terrorism?

Was the attack on America on 9/11 an act of terrorism per se by fanatic Muslims, a 9/11 call from God, or Islam’s retaliation for Christian’s jihad by leading nearly 3 million Muslims to the faith every year since 1991? Who are the Black Muslims? What are Al Qaeda’s history and goals?

Will the emerging democracy in Iraq cause a domino effect among the 22 strategic Middle Eastern countries which are basically autocratic and dictatorial? Has America sold its soul for cheap crude oil? What happened to the weapons of mass destruction? Will the Arab-Israeli conflict ever be solved?

The above questions and many others are answered clearly and eloquently by Dr. Shorrosh. He has been to the Middle East over 40 times since he moved to America in 1967. In preparation for the last chapter, "Iraq, Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" the author made two special journeys to that troubled country. His views are vocal, vital and relevant to any student of the Middle East situation.
