Admission of the Vulnerabilities of Islam – Believers Are not Guaranteed Admission to Islamic Paradise

Dr. Pipes review of this work provides an insight as to why Islam, promoted as the replacement religion to seek entry into the afterlife, does not provide sufficient evidence that following its tenets provides humanity the means in which to expect arrival in the hereafter any more than any other religious endeavor that the latecomer that Islam attempt to replace. This work reveals why Islam has not been able to 'conquer' the world's desires of mankind to become immortal; there is no hope of such achievement in the pursuits of the rules as dictated by the rulers of Islam; they have no such hope themselves, even in the promises of humanesque desires that have no eternal promise.
Islam is vulnerable to insincerity of belief; for it does not take into account the susceptibility of mankind to fail. In the Christian message that Islam seeks to replace, it is written, all have sinned, none are righteous. Even in the attempts of the writers of the Quran to include precepts that are definitively Judaic and address the basics that are endemic to the Messianic messaging of the Gospels, the Quranic scribes missed the heart of the Gospel message, attempting in such replacement to detract the basic reasons for the Christian disciple to accomplish the will of the Savior by proclaiming that message.
Those that quit Islam for that message now know why they we led to leave; for the message of eternity is found in the Savior. This is not necessarily explained all that well in the book the Dr. has reviewed; but that is not the point of the book. What may be taken as an aside to what the book alludes to is that Islam does have its weaknesses and that is what the rulers of Islam try to cover; thus, the heavy-hearted demands of loyalty, even to the point of death. It is why some who leave Islam do so, since following the Savior leads to life in the love of the One who sacrificed His life for those who believe to enter into eternity. Islam does not offer this, now does it?
