In Who Is My Enemy, ethics professor and author Lee Camp contrasts the typical American response to any threat with the clear teachings of Jesus

Must Christians and Muslims Be Enemies? Current discussion of Islam in America tends toward two polar extremes. On one hand is the notion that Christianity is superior to Islam and that Muslims are warmongers. On the other is the notion that all religions basically say the same thing and are peaceable. Lee Camp argues that both these extremes are wrong. In Who Is My Enemy, ethics professor and author Lee Camp contrasts the typical American response to any threat with the clear teachings of Jesus. The rationalization of gun-toting Americans who are protecting their country does not match up with the message we read in the New Testament.

Who Is My Enemy? is Lee Camp's treatment on the subject of Christian-Muslim relations, with special attention to American Christians. The book shines an introspective light into the soul of Western Christianity. Camp discusses the tradition of Islam, focusing on the concept of justification of war, and how the theology on war has developed since the founding of the religion by Muhammad

My reading of Lee Camp from this book, from his earlier book Mere Discipleship: Radical Christianity in a Rebellious World, and from listening to his podcast is that he fits within the realm of Christian theology known as postliberalism.

My reading of Lee Camp from this book, from his earlier book Mere Discipleship: Radical Christianity in a Rebellious World, and from listening to his podcast is that he fits within the realm of Christian theology known as postliberalism. As the name implies, postliberalism is post - that is, after or a response to - liberalism.

Furthermore, American Christians who would respond by means of violence to what they perceive as a threat in Islam are themselves closer-albeit unawares-to the Muhammad story than to the Jesus one. That the actual Islamic understanding of justifiable warfare is both more honorable and more coherent than the macho Rambo varieties on display in many American churches today only deepens the irony. For those familiar with Camp’s work, this is well-worn ground.

This book shows readers how to respond faithfully and intelligently to Muslims in today's world as well as to the New Atheists who suppose that all religion is inherently violent. It provides balanced teaching on war and peacemaking, offering hope for reconciliation in a post-9/11 world.

He clearly believes Islam to be a threat, and dangerous. I recounted alternate interpretations, citing a prominent Muslim theologian in Jerusalem. He responded by saying he cares nothing about Muslimology. I don’t care what any Muslim may say about the Qur’an or Islam; I only care about the authoritative original texts, he said in effect. It just so happened that we were two doors down from the mosque on Twelfth Avenue in Nashville. About that time a young man entered the shop, who, from the looks of his apparel, was Muslim.
