This work traces the origins of apocalyptic prophecy in Christianity and Islam through in-depth examinations of several texts found within the Bible, the Quran, and the Hadith. The author contends that Christianity and Islam, often seen as two of the primary fundamentalist and proselytizing world faiths, remain pitted against each other in an ongoing struggle to impose their religious ideology on the rest of the world through either force or persuasion. The religious prophecies discussed in this book are largely focused on end-time or apocalyptic scenarios (such as the Book of Revelation from the Bible's New Testament, the prophesized hour of judgment in the Quran, and the Book of Tribulations in the Hadith). The final two chapters provide an analysis of current world politics, including the Iraq War, within the context of Christian and Islamic prophecy.

Unveiled: A Canadian Muslim Woman's Struggle against Misogyny, Sharia and, Jihad, is the testimony of a Muslim woman's personal struggle to oppose radicalism and misogyny within her faith community. Farzana Hassan challenges the ideas that breed such pathologies among some of Islam's adherents. She denounces not just terrorism itself, but also excuses for it. Hassan investigates specific reasons behind the prevalent anti-Western sentiment among Muslims and attempts to dispel some of their misconceptions. She also speaks out against against brutal and misogynistic honour killings, and takes an honest look at political Islam and some of its pernicious symbols, such as the burka. The book is an earnest cry for reform within Islam and for all Muslims to reconcile their faith with life in the Canada of today.
