Dr. Mark Gabriel
Dr. Mark Gabriel was born and raised in Egypt as a Muslim. More than just a practicing Muslim, he was a scholar from his youth. His first milestone was to complete memorization of the Quran at age twelve. He went on to attend Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, the oldest, most prestigious Islamic
University in the world, where he earned bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees in Islamic History and culture. He also holds a master’s degree in world religion and a doctorate in Christian education. He travels and lectures for a variety of groups.

He has published five books in the United States:1) Islam and Terrorism, which tells what the Quran teaches about violence and the goals of Islamic jihad, 2) Islam and the Jews, which explains what the Quran and Muhammad taught about Jewish people and how radical Muslims are practicing that teaching today, 3) Jesus and Muhammad, which gives a factual, historical comparison of the two most influential men of all time, 4) Journey into the Mind of an Islamic Terrorist, which examines the writings of modern terrorists to expose their motives and rationale, and 5) Culture Clash, which explains the clashes between Islamic culture and Western democracy.

Dr. Gabriel’s purpose is to explain the teachings of Islam to the world community, not to insult Muslims. He says, “Muslims are my people, my family. I love Muslims. The problem is not with these innocent people, but is with the teachings of Islam."
