<p style="margin-bottom: 0;">Virtually each and every day, we read in the newspaper, see on TV, and hear on the radio where terrorists strike innocent children and adults, killing and maiming in the name of Islam.</p><p>What do they teach, and what do they believe as compared to the other religions?  Our book explains this.</p><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0"><strong>Another example: <span class="dark-red">Buddhism</span>.  Why have celebrities like <span class="blue">Tiger Woods</span> and <span class="blue">Richard Gere</span> turned to Buddhism?</strong></p><p style="margin-top: 0;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0;">Buddhism has left God out of its beliefs.  Is it attractive to some because it is an easy path to follow?</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0;">Learn what the Buddhist is led to believe about a creator, about humankind.
