Radical or Not Here I Come (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986327419)

Fundamental Islam and democracy are on a collision course but political correctness and naiveté have smothered the American public's appreciation of this threat. Christians as well as politicians are woefully uninformed and unprepared for this explosive reality. This book explores basic precepts of Islam and Christianity trying to explain why. The author and his fictitious friend discuss comparisons of the two religions over time revealing personal strengths and weaknesses in their own lives. A surprise ending dramatizes factors that lead many Americans to become radicalized, violent Muslims.

"As an Islamic scholar and one who is deeply involved in Christian ministry and global outreach, this book is very helpful to many in several ways. It gives you an excellent understanding of radicalism in general and Islamic radicalism specifically. It is a very readable introduction to Islam without all the details. It is on the cutting edge and I recommend it to everyone. The idea of the book is incredible-perfect for busy people. I love Mr. Neal's unique approach and hope he writes more books."

"The title of the book intrigued me so much, I had to read it. What a fascinating life journey, one of doubt, curiosity, trust, loyalty and unconditional love and friendship. I couldn't lay it down until I knew how it ended. Boy was I shocked."

"Leroy does a masterful job combining his true story with that of his fictitious high school friend. In the process he speaks truth about the differences between followers of Christ and those of Islam. This is a must read for anyone who loves a good story with a meaningful twist."
