Add to this list the fact that the concept of “son of God”, which most Christians of our time apply to Christ, was used by the Pharaohs of Egypt for Akhnaton just as ancient Greek and Roman mythologies contained many stories about alleged “sons of God”, a concept very much abhorred in Islam not only because of its Pagan origins but because it makes no sense: If God has sons, why not daughters, too? Are males implied to be better or superior to females? What happened to equality and justice?

Does the Almighty prefer men over women? And if He supposedly has a son, and since he already has a mother, Mary, then the Christians worship a whole family... Of course any zealous “Christian” may be quite angry on reading the above, and if the reader is one of these “Christians”, this book is not written for him; instead, it is written for those who truly seek the truth and commit themselves to abide by it, and these are unfortunately rare species.

This book is written for open-minded Christians and for Muslims who live in “Christian” communities overseas. Often, readers are interested in knowing who the author is, his background, academic achievements, etc. In order to satisfy this curiosity, we are providing you here below with his bio-data: Yasin T. al-Jibouri was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1946 and lived most of his life in the holy city of al Kadhimiyya (Kazimain) which is located in north-west Baghdad; he is presently living there.

He lived in the United States from 1972 to 2003 and closely observed the missionary activities of both Muslims and non-Muslims in that country.

He was prompted to write this book by what he regarded as the hypocrisy of many Christian clergymen who were not playing their role as educators of their flocks and sometimes were themselves involved in immoralities that have nothing to do with the pristine faith brought by the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, peace and blessings be with him and with his sinless and virtuous virgin mother.

Al-Jibouri graduated from the College of Arts, Baghdad University, on June 30, 1969, having majored in English which he taught at a high (9) school in Hilla, metropolis of Babylon governorate, starting in 1970 then at a vocational institute in al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, for a couple of years starting in 1971 during which year he had the opportunity to perform the pilgrimage (hajj) in the company of his respected father and a maternal cousin.

From there, he flew in 1972 to the United States by way of Beirut, Lebanon.
