„Es ist ein Segen, dass wir diese Wissenschaft der Reinigung haben, ein Segen, dass es diese Lehre in der Welt heute gibt. Was für uns bleibt, ist, dass wir diese Lehren ernst nehmen. Gehen wir also durch, was hier von diesem großen Gelehrten erklärt wird und lernen wir über die Krankheiten des Herzens, erkennen wir ihre Ätiologie, also ihre Ursachen, ihre Anzeichen und Symptome und schließlich, wie man sie behandelt." Hamza Yusuf
Joram van Klaveren, also called ‘the crown prince of Wilders’, was a famous critic of Islam. As a former member of the Dutch Parliament and a representative of the Party for Freedom, he submitted numerous bills related to Islam, such as those calling for the closing of mosques, for removing the Quran from parliament and for banning Islam from the Netherlands.In order to reinforce these thoughts and opinions, he — as a Christian — began to write a book critical of Islam. During the process of writing, however, he found an increasing number of matters that challenged his views of Islam. In this book, Joram describes his personal and theological journey and the development he has undergone.During this journey, questions arose such as: does God even exist? Is the God of the Quran the same as the God of the Bible? Does Islam teach people to hate disbelievers and oppress women? How did Joram’s negative view of Islam develop? What emotional and social struggles did he have to face? And where has this journey eventually led him?A must read for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
