A Statesman’s Solution To Terrorism

October 2, 2008 by Stephen Palmer

While the neo-conservative “solution” of war-imposed “democracy” continues to fail and bankrupt America, former Congressman and UN Ambassador Mark Siljander has been quietly, yet steadily, building bridges of love, tolerance, peace, and understanding in the Middle East.

His new book, A Deadly Misunderstanding: A Congressman’s Quest to Bridge the Muslim-Christian Divide, offers hope and genuine reconciliation between cultures and religions and answers to centuries-old conflicts.

An experienced statesman at home and abroad, Mr. Siljander serves on the Board of George Wythe University. In this revelatory book he recounts his amazing spiritual odyssey from anti-Muslim Christian conservative to pioneer in discovering uncharted, ground-breaking common roots between Islam and Christianity, while trailblazing a unique diplomatic path for bringing the two communities together.

This is not just another book; there are many interesting books filling our shelves. Nor is it an academic thesis or political agenda. This story inspires hope in our increasingly desperate world, uncovering compelling common ground for followers of these two super-power religions.

“No Christian or Muslim will be unaffected after reading this book. Siljander’s paradigm-shifting discoveries could radically shift the contemporary religious landscape and help heal the rift between Islam and the West.” -Christianbook.com

At our root are basic misunderstandings of concepts like “religion” and “conversion.” Siljander breaks down and re-assembles these concepts through study of the ancient Semitic languages of both religions, making paradigm-shifting discoveries that unite rather than divide us. His findings are drawn from twenty-seven years of study and practice in a real life journey. Wherever he and his praying partners travel among Muslim nations, the outcome of their quiet diplomacy is respect, trust, love of friends and enemies, and significant real-world breakthroughs in crisis situations of which few are aware.

His book offers explosive models based on ancient truths, proven to powerfully affect people, conflicts, countries, and potentially change cultures. This is the kind of “change” future presidents must strive for. This seemingly implausible path to peace dismantles the engine of terror without firing a single shot.

“Rumors indicate that the Siljander book … has angered … the influential ‘war lobby’ depending on decades of religious conflict.” -Veterans Today
