Subtitle: The Failure of Islam and the Triumph of the West
About the Title: Alvin Schmidt, Ph.D. documents from Islam's Koran and reliable historical sources that there are chasm-wide differences between the Western world and the world of Islam.
- Jesus Christ and Muhammad, the founder of Islam, were on opposite sides of the great divide regarding the most basic ethical issues.
- Christianity in its first three centuries grew without resorting to violence as opposed to Islam, which from its beginning grew and expanded by the use of force.
- The West gave freedom and dignity to women as opposed to the Islamic world's practice of veiling and restricting the freedom of women.
- Slavery was first outlawed in the West, whereas it is still practiced in some Islamic countries today.
- There is another side of the Crusades of the Middle Ages that has not been told in school textbooks: they were largely defensive wars fought against expansionist militant Islam.
- Experimental science arose in the West, largely the result of Christian thinkers who saw God as a rational being whose world could be rationally studied, whereas Islam had some prominent philosophers, but they discovered no scientific laws.
- Separation of religion and the state is a Western practice that stems from words Jesus Christ spoke about Caesar and God. Islamic countries are all either theocracies or dictatorships.
- Many politicians say that Islam is a "peaceful religion." In fact, Islam is one of the most violent religions the world has ever known.
Endorsements:
"The Great Divide elegantly delineates the differences between the Christian and Muslim worldviews. In a world of obfuscation and "can't-we-all-just-get-along" indiferrentism, this book is a much-needed beacon." - Robert Spencer, author of Islam Unveiled and Onward Muslim Soldiers
"Schmidt addresses many issues concerning the perception of Islam promoted in the United States. Christians cannot remain ignorant to the spiritual and physical threat that Islam is to the West." - Tom White, Voice of the Martyrs
