Abstract

The mass shooting in San Bernardino was the most lethal terror attack on American soil since 9/11, and it came on the heels of a coordinated assault on Paris. There is no question that innocents have been slaughtered in the name of Allah, and that jihad increasingly impinges upon people's lives. But do terrorists' actions actually reflect the religion of Islam? What about the peaceful Muslim neighbors? Setting aside speculation and competing voices, Nabeel Qureshi provides insights to the questions everyone is trying to answer. What really is jihad? Who are the true Muslims? Is Islam a religion of peace? And perhaps most important: how are people to move forward?
