	On September 11, 2001 the lives of Americans and the world were forever changed as an act of terror, in the name of God, suddenly, and without notice, claimed nearly 3000 lives as planes crashed and collapsed the buildings which signified the pinnacle of American monetary and military might, the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Osama Bin Laden recently wrote [1] of the true motivation behind these acts, and whatever you believe as to the extent that this belief is also held by other Muslims, it has by no doubt brought a heightened awareness of Islam to America, and left many with questions such as: Has the peaceful religion of Islam been *"hijacked"* by radical fundamentalists? What do its variety of followers believe? What exactly is jihad anyway, and why is it waged against Americans? How does a Muslim get to Paradise? Is it true that Islam is the fastest growing religion today? Why is that? On the other hand; What is Christianity? How does the Jesus in the Quran differ from the one in the Bible? What do Chrisitians believe? Overall, how do we know the true God and what the truth is anyway? The bottom line is: your life HAS been affected, and will likely be affected again, while the underlying tension continues between Islam and Christianity. You owe it to yourself to understand what's behind these tensions and more about the core beliefs of these religions and to ultimately find the one true God.
