Eleven Reasons Christians Should Study Islam

Eleven Reasons Why Christians Should Study Islam

1. Their ignorance of Islam -- don’t know anything about Islam.
2. To rid themselves of misconceptions about Islam – what they do know is flawed.
3. To overcome their fear of Muslims.
4. To overcome the fear of speaking with someone of another faith.
5. To discover the similarity and differences of beliefs.
6. To learn that “difference” does not necessarily mean “wrong.”
7. To learn how to appreciate the dedication, disciple and determination of Muslims.
8. Because the world is rapidly becoming a “global village” and Muslims and people of other faiths are not only “over there” but “right here.”
9. Because of the sheer numbers – 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and the number is growing rapidly.
10. To find freedom from their feelings of elitism and superiority in religion.
11. To assist in helping Christians see all peoples as creations of God and loved by God.

I want to explore how faith transcends the limits of creeds and find ways to work with others to prepare the world for the kingdom of God.
