The Great Divide: The Failure of Islam and the Triumph of the West

Alvin J. Schmidt, Ph.D.
This book documents from Islam’s Koran and reliable historical sources that there are chasm-wide differences between the Western world and the Islamic world. Such differences include how Jesus and Mohammed (the founder of Islam) viewed the most basic ethical issues; how Christianity’s first three centuries grew without resorting to violence as opposed to Islam, which since its beginning expanded by use of force; and how the West gave freedom and dignity to women as opposed to the Islamic world’s practice of veiling and restricting the freedom of women.
