When you look at the fruit of a tree, you can tell what kind of tree it is. That was Jesus’ simple but profound test for truth: “You will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16). If we apply this same test to Islam, the results are sobering. The fruit …

Please note: The following excerpt is drawn from my book, “Trojan Religion: The West’s Last Great Warning“. Complete sources, citations, and references are documented within the book itself.
