Book of prof. Khalid Duran, reflecting a considerable period of 1500-year-old relationship between Islam and Judaism, "formally" addressed to the Jews that go back genetically, as the founders of Islam - the Arabs, to the common forefather - Abraham, but certainly of interest to a wide range of readers. The author recognized scholar, an expert on Islam, is the greatness of Islam and Islamic history and culture, not by ignoring or justifying its most problematic aspects. The publication series "Children of Abraham" is intended to reduce the mutual ignorance and find ways of mutual respect and reconciliation between Muslims and Jews.
