This is a book about the religious origins of the violent clash between Western and Muslim societal values. It places before Muslims, as well as Jews and Christians, questions calling for immediate answers; questions that because of political/religious correctness are not being addressed in the general discourse. It is also a book that maps a road out of this internecine morass.

The reality is that those in all three of the religions of Abraham who hold fast to an orthodox view of their beliefs are embarked on a dangerous spiritual and ideological—as well as geopolitical—miscalculation, one that already is having dire consequences for all of human kind. Recent world events have shown that the beginning of the tragic outcome of this miscalculation is coming fast upon us. There can be only one way to remove ourselves from this dilemma. As those who will become the next generation and then those to follow grow into adulthood and form their own thoughts about themselves and the world around them, they will have to face far-reaching questions about the religious beliefs of their mothers, fathers, and spiritual mentors. The way each and every one approaches these critical questions will make a difference in some way, large or small, for the entire world.

The author brings together a wide range of his interests in this book, namely; theology, philosophy, geopolitics and history. Over forty years, as an international risk manager for several of America's premier institutions, he became aware of the role of religious belief as a major underlying force driving the geopolitical decision making process. In this book he discusses the origins and interconnection of Jewish, Christian and Muslim beliefs, how many of them have led to the world conflict we see today and what this now means for the future of human civilization.
