Beschreibung
Former Congressman and Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Mark D. Siljander takes us on an eye-opening journey of personal, religious, and political discovery. In the 1980s, Siljander was a newly minted Reagan Republican from Michigan who joined Congress in the same generation as Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay, ready to remake the world. A staunch member of the Religious Right, he once walked out of the National Prayer Breakfast when a speaker quoted from the Qur'an.
But after losing reelection, Siljander dove into the Bible to look for the passage in which the Bible says it is our job as Christians to convert others in order to save them from eternal damnation. He couldn't find it; in fact, he couldn't even find a passage saying that Jesus set out to form a new religion. This discovery was the first step on a spiritual and political journey that started with an in-depth linguistic study of the Bible and led to the discovery that Christianity and Islam share many base words and concepts. In his role as ambassador to the United Nations Siljander began sharing his insights on the connections between Islam and Christianity, with surprising results.
A Deadly Misunderstanding recounts Siljander's amazing discoveries as he travels to some of the most remote and hostile places in the world-deep into Libya, Sudan, Pakistan, and India-forging deep ties with both heads of state and religious leaders. What he has learned could radically shift the contemporary religious landscape and help heal the rift between Islam and the West. No Christian or Muslim will be unaffected after reading this book.

Über den Autor
Mark Siljander skillfully blends 30 years in America's powerful
political inner circles with his travels to 130 countries, gripping
audiences with true stories of his private interactions with political
and religious leaders in hotspots of global conflict, defying the
assumptions of traditional diplomacy.

Follow Mark's personal odyssey of spiritual transformation from
an anti-Muslim, hard right, Christian political conservative to a
pioneer of international peacemaking; acknowledged by former
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who publicly recognized his "...
efforts toward a more just, humane and peaceful world," and by his
acceptance of the Mohandas K. Gandhi International Peace Award in
1996. He recounts his discovery of long-hidden linguistic and cultural
common ground that connects adherents of Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam.

Mark's approach has inspired many of our nation's friends and
enemies - to a new path toward peace. However, at times his
approach has also fiercely offended the entrenched interests of the
power elite, resulting in personal attacks and a federal indictment.
After nearly five years of battling the harrowing prospect of hostile
and unrelenting prosecution for years to come, Mark agreed to
a negotiated plea and the harsh consequences of a short prison
sentence. On the eve of his release from prison Mark was diagnosed
with terminal cancer, but survived. These tests of faith, character,
and courage provided even deeper insight into his transformation
from the heights of political achievement to the depths of personal
brokenness.

He holds Bachelors and Master's Degrees in Political Science and has
served on numerous boards and lectured in such diverse institutions
as Oxford University, Khartoum University, and Wheaton College.
