Excerpt:
Through research, traveling and writing, a local Christian pastor is hoping to debunk stereotypes about Islam.
Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church invited Pastor Ben Daniel of San Jose's Foothill Presbyterian Church to speak to the community last month after the release of his book earlier this year. His book, The Search for Truth about Islam: A Christian Pastor Separates Fact from Fiction, discusses Islamophobia in American society.
Two years in the making, the book explores the core beliefs and practices of Islam, as well as the history behind the growing fear and confusion around the religion in public discourse.
