An excerpt from my latest book, Israel and the Middle East: Will There Ever Be Peace?
What does the Bible and the Qur’an say about Palestine and Palestinians?In a word: Nothing! The two words do not appear anywhere in the Bible or the Qur’an. The terminology is a fairly recent invention of militant Arabs living in the Jewish Promised Land in an effort to corrupt and hijack both biblical and traditional history.
Throughout Islamic history, Arabic Muslims, following the teaching and example of Muhammad, have relentlessly persecuted the Jews—not only in what Muslims consider Palestine, but throughout the world. The claim of Arabic Muslims is that Palestine—that is, Canaan or the “Holy Land”—was always the inherited land of Muslims and that the Jews have no right to it and are to be driven out. Yet, the Qur’an—and this will be a shocker to both Muslims and infidels—states that Allah promised Moses and the Jews the land of Canaan or the Holy Land.
And when Musa [Moses] said to his people: O my people! Remember the favor of Allah upon you when He raised prophets among you and made you kings and gave you what He had not given to any other among the nations.
O my people! Enter the holy land which Allah has prescribed for you and turn not on your backs [i.e., turn away or depart] for then you will turn back losers (surah 5:20-21, author’s emphasis).
Four things are noteworthy in the preceding surah. The entire rendition of Moses and the Promised Land, along with its incongruities, in surah 5:20-26, is taken from the Bible version in Numbers 13. It is not unique to the Qur’an. The Bible story tells of Moses sending the twelve spies into the Promised Land with ten of them returning fearful and only two, Joshua and Caleb coming back with a positive report. The Qur’an tries to copy the story, but leaves all the significant details about the spies.
First, it is revealed that God (not Allah) did, indeed, promise the Jews that they would occupy the Holy Land or Canaan.
Second, there were no kings ruling over the Jews during Moses’ lifetime. Moses died before the Jews entered Canaan and almost 200 years before the prophet Samuel anointed Saul as the first king of the Israelites.
Third, Allah tells his followers that he gave the Holy Land to the Jews and no other nation among them.
Fourth, God (not Allah) commands the Jews to never give up the land of Canaan that he has prescribed for them. It is important to note that Allah never spoke to the Jews, but the Qur’an claims that he did. Despite this revelation of the Jews’ right to Palestine in perpetuity in the Muslim’s own holy book, Muslims are bent on annihilating or forcing the Jews from their rightful homeland as guaranteed to them by God in the Bible and Allah in the Qur’an. Nevertheless, in surah 7:157, Allah commands his followers to follow that which is written in the Torah and the Gospel.
There is, however, another convoluted possibility when considering Muhammad’s mindset and theology. Remember, Muhammad claims that Allah revealed that all the prophets of the Bible were indeed Muslims. Therefore, in surah 5:20 when Allah is talking about Moses and his people, maybe Muhammad believed that Allah was proclaiming the holy land was for Muslims since Musa (Moses) was a “Muslim.”
Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought His wrath upon [the Jews], and whom He made apes and swine, and he who served the Shaitan [evil spirit, demon, Satan]; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight path.
Surah 5:60

“Dr. Gauss, in this profound study, is upholding the truth of the Gospel, revealing the fallacies of a false religion. His pen is sharp but the imprint of his spirit is marked with compassion and love for a lost people who believe they are worshipping the one true God.
“I commend Dr. Gauss on writing such an informative book bringing out the darkness that covers every page of the Quran and delusions of the Islamic faith.
“May there be more voices such as Dr. Gauss proclaiming the truth of God with boldness and in the spirit of Christ. And may we witness freedom for millions of Muslims who are bound by a dark and evil force!

“James Gauss’ Understanding Islam in the Light of Christianity is a thought provoking and needed resource which brings deep truths into a discussion which continues to be mired by lies and deception. Challenging the doctrine of Islam from a factual yet loving basis, Gauss exposes how normative and universally taught Islam is directly contrary to the basic teachings of Jesus and his Church. This book promotes great discussions and offers a significant amount of information which is valuable to students of history and of the truth. I recommend it for all open-minded and open-hearted people wanting to expand their understanding of these matters.”

“In his true prophetic manner Dr Gauss has pointed to a clear and present danger most of us have not realized. Islam is a foreign government along with a belief system which has come into America in like manner as the Trojan Horse. Dr Gauss says the Gospel is all that can save any Muslim. Preach it to them. He warns us to not allow Islamic leaders to come speak to your congregation. The Church and it’s leaders need to read and heed this book before it is too late!

Introduction
(Excerpted from Embracing the Anti-Christ: The Heresy of Interfaith Dialogue, by James F. Gauss. To be released in late July, 2020).
Muslims are the first victims of Islam. Many times I have observed in my travels in the Orient, that fanaticism comes from a small number of dangerous men who maintain the others in the practice of religion by terror. To liberate the Muslim from his religion is the best service that one can render him.
Ernest Renan (1823-1892)
French expert on Semitic languages and civilizations, and biblical scholar.
There is a huge battle raging for the soul of the Church in America and the West and it is being waged against the Church by those within the Church. It is unfathomable to me, as someone who has studied Islam and talked to hundreds of Muslims and former Muslims since 2001, how many learned people, university scholars and church leaders have been so thoroughly duped by the ideology of Islam and by deceiving Islamic leaders.
Certainly, many, if not most, Christian leaders and church congregants who are participating in the interfaith dialogue with Muslims firmly believe they are following Christ’s dictate to “love thy neighbor.” However, they are being misguided by false premises in the understanding about Islam and its adherents. Islam is not like other world religious ideologies or doctrines of faith. Other faiths and their followers desire only the freedom and peace to practice their faith. The primary tenets of faith of Islam are quite different. Unlike other religious beliefs, Islam seeks world domination and demands of its followers to achieve that goal by any means necessary, including lying, deceit, infiltration, persecution and murder. While interfaithers’ goals of serving their Muslim neighbor may be genuine and an expression of Christ’s love, they appear oblivious to the weightier matters of the Gospel of Christ.
All over the world hundreds of thousands of Muslims are coming to a saving knowledge of Christ and leaving Islam and its tyrannical ideology. However, in the United States, where an estimated 3-6 million Muslims live and Christians still have the freedom to preach and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there is very little conversion of Muslims to Christianity. Why is that so? In Islamic countries where freedom of religious expression is condemned; Bibles and prayer groups banned; preaching the Gospel is forbidden, Muslims, at the risk of persecution, imprisonment and death are choosing Christ as their Lord and Savior.
In 2018, Pew Research Center released two polls on Islam in America January 26 and April 17). In the one poll, of the Americans who were converting to Islam, a whopping 77 percent were raised as Christians. By contrast, in the other poll, Pew discovered that of those Muslims in America that left Islam, only 22 percent converted to Christianity. Why such a disparity? Islam, it would appear, is having a far greater influence and impact on Christians, than Christians and the Gospel message are having on Muslims.
The Two-prong Attack. Thanks to America’s worldwide unique Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights, and America’s largely unbridled freedoms, Muslims have successfully infiltrated every aspect of American life: education (both primary and secondary), politics, law enforcement, military (including Homeland Security), America’s legal and judicial system and the Church. The latter, along with the driving forces of education, have become the second prong of Islam’s attack on American’s 300+ years of culture and Judeo-Christian foundations.
In most primary school districts in America, Islam has found fertile ground to promulgate its lies and deceptions and pollute the minds of America’s impressionable children—all with the blessings of school boards, school administrators and teachers, but usually without the explicit knowledge of parents. Muslim culture, beliefs and practices are being impressed upon America’s children, often starting in kindergarten, while textbooks used for history, civics, geography, social studies, etc. are heavily edited and ladened with favorable and proselytizing portrayals of Islam, while, at the same time, denigrating Christianity and Judaism.
As Muslims attempt to convert America’s youth from K through 12th grade and on into college, the Church has remained silent and neutralized. Although many Christian denominations train hundreds of missionaries to go abroad to minister to Muslims in far off lands, it appears that most churches see little need or urgency to reach Muslims in America with the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Rather than share the Good News of Jesus with Muslims, most denominations seem to be content with embracing Muslims as “brothers” who share the same god and Abrahamic heritage. They just want to be “good neighbors” and maintain community harmony and cohesiveness. Never mind that the Muslims they claim to “love” are spiritually lost and condemned to hell without the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Those among the interfaith dialogue with Muslims movement chose to ignore or make excuses for 1400 years of Islamic history and barbarism. While Christianity has gone through a number of reform movements to cleanse itself of false doctrines and heresy and will continue to do so, Islam has never had a reform movement and never will. The Muslims of today still follow the same tenets of faith that their predecessors did fourteen centuries ago. For the basic beliefs of Islam to change would require its adherents to confess that Islam is a lie and a fabricated doctrine—not revealed by God, but created by man to dominate his neighbors, far and wide. True adherents to Islamic doctrine are taught and commanded not to adopt the culture and ways of their host country, but instead, are ordered to do everything possible to infiltrate, change and dominate the people and culture where they live until all is under their control for the glory of Allah.
. . . True believers in Jesus Christ and His unadulterated Gospel have been struggling to push back the powers of darkness since the first Christian believers gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem after Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. For the most part, up through World War II, the Church in America was at the forefront of doing battle against evil. However, after the war-weary victories in Europe and the Far East in the mid-1940s it seemed that the Church fell back on its “laurels” and got fat and lazy and let down its guard and offensive thrust against those who sought to undermine its very foundations.
Over the last several decades—and likely much longer—America has become a culture of death and decadence. Why has America—once the center of Judeo-Christian principles and experience—degenerated into a wanton, hedonistic society? The reasons, from this author’s perspective are many, but a few glaring ones will be listed. . . .
Author note. The book should be available in paperback format on Amazon in a couple of days. My apologies to those of you (and I am one) who would prefer not to do business with Amazon. I have looked at various Christian alternatives, but none are feasible for me at this time (too much money up front; restrictive editing or only they only want big names). I am also considering an e-book version. Amazon also offers worldwide distribution which is essential for this book and its message.
Please spread this information far and wide. Not for my sake, but for the Church and the salvation of Muslims.
