Israel. Palestine. The Middle East. The Holy Lands. When you hear those places on the nightly news, it is no surprise to hear that once again they are engaged in a battle for sovereignty, power and religion. It makes one think, why is that area so filled with turmoil? What is it about that part of the world that is so controversial? Why cannot these people live in harmony side by side?
"Seeds of Turmoil" goes in depth to the root of why Jews, Christians and Muslims embattle themselves in that land on the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. It is just not a matter of religious differences that they fight over, but their claims over these disputed lands are based on the very beginnings of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
This book proved to be an eye-opener for me, as it allowed me understand why it would not be easy to dismiss the seemingly endless wars in that area as merely territorial issues. It goes deeper than that, and I find myself wondering how their issues could be resolved.
"Seeds of Turmoil" is a great book as it gives people a backgrounder of the"seeds." It does, however, go a little shallow on the Muslim viewpoint of the conflicts, but since the author is a Christian, perhaps it can be complimented by a similar account by a Muslim authority.
