Islam Under the Lens: The Peter Townsend Trilogy

The 'Peter Townsend Trilogy' brings together three works that examines Islam from three distinct angles. They are: Questioning Islam: Tough Questions and Honest Answers About the Muslim Religion (first published in 2014). An examination of the truth-claims of Islam 'Nothing to do with Islam? – Investigating the West's Most Dangerous Blind Spot' (First published in 2016). A deep dive into the links between Islamic teaching and violence. 'The Mecca Mystery – Probing the Black Hole at the Heart of Muslim History' (First published in 2018) A thoroughgoing analysis of the generally accepted accounts of Muslim history. Together these books represent a mini reference library dealing with key questions about Islam by focusing on its truth-claims, its history, and its role in the modern world. This collection presents readers with the opportunity to have all three books in one place and to cross-reference the implications of certain teachings across the different areas addressed in each book. This collection is offered with the fervent wish that it will equip readers to engage critically with Islam and its confidently stated articles of faith. In fact, the questioning of these articles, from a variety of perspectives, should be very high on the agenda of anyone who seeks after truth and who values justice and freedom.
