FREE PDF: “Islam and the Problem of Israel,” by Dr. Ismail al-Faruqi

First published in 1980 by the Islamic Council of Europe; republished in 2003 by the Other Press, Selangor, Malaysia.

From the back cover:

“The problem of Israel confronting the Muslim world today has neither precedent nor parallel in Islamic history. The Muslim World has tended to regard it as another instance of modern colonialism, or at best, as a repetition of the Crusades. The author shows how Israel is neither one of these; but that it is both and more. The book goes into the nature of Zionism, its history, what has kept it alive, Islam’s verdict concerning Israel today, the question on whether the secular Palestinian state is an answer to the problem of Israel, and many other topics about this great problem.

Professor Ismail Raji al-Faruqi (1921 – 1986) is widely recognized as an authority on Islam and comparative religion. A Palestinian by birth, Faruqi was the author of several books, among them Al-Tawhid: Its Implications for Thought and Life, Trialogue of Abrahamic Faiths, Christian Ethics, Historical Atlas of the Religions of the World, and The Cultural Atlas of Islam which he co-authored with his wife Dr. Lois Lamya al-Faruqi. The Faruqis fell victim to an assassin’s knife in the early hours of May 27, 1986 in their house in Philadelphia, USA.”
