Summary: um.....
Review: Kenneth Timmerman has gone to a lot of work to complete this book as can be seen through all his interviews with top Islamic sages, and "moderates" of the Muslim world. Not only will the reader be astounded by the sheer irrationality of the virulent hatred that spreads from these self-professed "intellectuals", but it will also come to be understood how this unfathomable hatred of the Jews and of the U.S (Which is seen as a Bastion of Jewish control)has been indoctrinated to the susceptible minds of Islamic youth.
Although the book is slightly biased against the Islamist world, Timmerman makes it clear on many occasions that true Islam has been hijacked by Islamic fundementalist terror groups - Hamas, Hezbollah, Jammah Islamiah, Al Qaeda, other Wahhabi backed terrorist organizations - whose one goal in mind is to make every citizen of this Earth a Muslim.
Timmerman irrevocably dispells the myth that Jew-hatred in the Middle East is something of a modern day phenomenon. He covers events which occured in Damascus in 1845, in which Jews again were the targets in massive pogrom-like raids, with tens of them being murdered.
For anyone who would like to truely find out for themselves the extent of Jew-hatred among the left and the Islamic world, this is definitely a book for you.

Summary: A true eye opener
Review: Okay, so we all know how much of the Arabic world sided with the Nazis during WWII, and we all know that anti-Semitism is rampant, both historically and present day . . . but I had no idea to what extent these dynamics manifest in this world of ours.This book is such an eye opener, and after the third read through, I continue to glean so much more information and insight. Bravo, Mr. Timmerman, for bringing to the public a book which is a must-read for every American, and for every person wishing to live in "the Free World."

Summary: Ignorant Crap
Review: The best advice I can give the all of you who think this garbage is so great... do your own research before you make a broad generalization about Muslims. There is a big difference between a Muslim and Muslim Extremist. I suggest you people read the Qu'ran before you pass judgement. Saying that all Muslims are the same is like saying that all black people look alike... we all know that that is a bunch of ignorant garbage. I have read a good chunk of the Qu'ran and have yet to see anything about hate for Jews or Americans. YOu should question everything you are taught or told, and learn to think for yourselves. Timmerman is nothing more than a skin head in sheeps clothing. It's ignorance like this that brings so much hate into the world. I am not just talking about Timmerman, I mean all the hate mongers of the world.

Summary: American Jingoism at its Finest...
Review: The premise for this book is quite simple: "They hate us because we are so wonderful"...for three hundred pages Timmerman sets out to assert that the modern terrorist phonomenon can't be attributed to anything the US has done, but rather is rooted entirely in Islamic jealousy for the success of the West
After all we are perfect; it only makes sense that the jealousy harbored by these Islamic barbarians boiled over into spectacular forms of violence...never mind the violence we have been perpetrating in the Middle East, indeed throughout the planet, for th last half century
The generalizations made about Arabs and Islam could be applied to any culture since every culture has hate, every culture has violence, every culture proports to be "superior" to the rest.
However Timmerman expects us to believe that Islamic hatred is somehow different, somehow more evil, from Western or Jewish hatred. That blowing up a bus is different than dropping bombs on apartment buildings. That the killing of an Israeli is inherently more evil, more sinful, than the killing of a Palestinian.
After all our killings are justified, we are fighting a war on the terror! What difference does it make if a few (over 10,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan) Moslems get coaght in the cross fire? Remember, Moslems are bred to hate, why should we feel sorry for them? The Palestinians in particular should wake up every day and thank the Israelis for bulldozing their homes, stealing their resources, pushing them off their land and killing their sons and daughters...these barbaric Palestinians should consider themselves blessed just to be in the prescense of an Israeli...these Palestinians should thank Israel for telling them what to do...after all its for their own good, they are Moslems so they are just to stupid and hateful to think for themselves.
Of course the ethnic cleansing of 3 Million Palestinians from their homes in 1948, or the US support of oppressive Pigs in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Indonesia couldn't have anything to do with this hatred talked about by Zimmerman...no this would be simply to difficult to phathom. Everything can be attributed to jealousy and the purely Islamic phonomenon of anti-Semitism (never mind that Arabs speak a semetic language or that the barbarity of Christian anti-Semitism was the cause of the mass migration of Jews to Palestine).
Timmerman asserts that the US came to power purely because of our inherent greatness, forget slavery, forger the Native Americans, forget the exploitation of nearly every country on earth...NO! America played by the rules, we are the chosen nation, we are moral people and thats why we are on top and thats why these hateful Moslems are so jealous of our greatness.
Conveniently, Zimmerman only chooses to focus on the most fanatical Moslems and uses them to guage the faith itself. He neglects to mention that similar words are spoken today in American churches and especially Israeli synagogues. In Zimmermans world, "hate" can me measured with graphs, pie charts and statistics...somehow Islamic hatred is different than the hatred preached in other parts of the world.
If you are willing to admit America's own mistakes than this book is going to be difficult to believe. I'd give this book 1 star instead of a flat zero because Zimmerman hesitates in calling for the total racial extermination of all Arabs and all Moslems.

Summary: The stunning truth revealed!
Review: The truth about Anti-Semitism and Anti-Americanism a journalist discovered thru journeys and research in the Middle East, Europe and around the globe. By reading this book all your questions about Arafat, Hitler and every official or unofficial terrorist leader will be answered. Their motives, their drive and indeed their backers. It will, no doubt, stun you!
This book will give you the truth about the mainstream and typical Muslim, their influence, lifestyle and corrupted upbringing. By going thru these undisputable facts it makes one wonder how did we get to a level where evil dictates our lives and thinking process? Why do we need such stark evidence to maybe start us realizing the truth? Why are we so naïve?
Like no book before it, Preachers of Hate uncovers an ancient hatred that threatens the life and livelihood of every American. Most Americans will be stunned to discover the depth and extent of anti-Semitic hatred in today's Middle East and Europe.
I think this book should become every person's bible. If there is one book a conservative millionaire should distribute free of charge to the whole world, it is Preachers of Hate!

Summary: Strong Medicine
Review: This book skillfully and thoroughly characterizes anti-Israeli propaganda, not only in the Middle East but also in Europe and the United States. It is an impressive recounting of the author's coming to grips with the nearly surreal racism, irrationality, and hatred he discovered among segments of the Arab world. Everyone ought to read this book to realize what the terror we're at war with is all about. But be prepared: Timmerman does not mince words.
Timmerman reminds us that "war without a victor and a vanquished is still war," as we've seen many times in the past century. One reason we haven't seen the kind of peace that followed World War 2 is that whenever Israel has defeated Arabs in battle, Europe and the United States have made sure to guarantee an inconclusive result. The Arabs, being neither crushed nor forced to apologize nor even forced to stop incitement towards future adventures, would inevitably be encouraged to fight again. Timmerman says that "it is time to reconsider such policies."
It is true that this book emphasizes one side of the war between Israel and the Arabs. However, Timmerman takes the trouble to explain why the two sides are not symmetrical. As he says, visions of an Israeli victory would likely "resemble what we have seen over the past fifty years: Jewish sovereignty over borders defined by Israel as defensible, with full citizenship offered to Arabs who choose to live peacefully within them." On the other hand, today's Arab children are being taught that peace requires the removal of all the region's Jews. Timmerman asks which of these outcomes risks a new "Holocaust." He shows us that under Arab rule, the vanquished Jews would be likely to lose their rights, including their rights to life.

Summary: Disturbing.
Review: This disturbing & gripping book provides the reader with an analysis of what is described herein as "an ancient hatred that threatens the life and livelihood of every American".
This "hatred", which is revealed by this study to be shockingly present in the modern day, is here expounded as an alleged "new anti-Semitism" that is described as targeting not only Jews but Americans and the West in general.
The book's cover itself declaring in no uncertain terms that what is being faced is not a social problem, which can be addressed through liberal policies & public money, but instead "dedicated murderers" where serious and effective policies are needed to combat them, having first recognised what the book cites as the "uncompromising depths of their hatred". A hatred which this work shows to frequently draw upon alleged "causes" which are used to provide a "sheen of legitimacy" to even the worst forms of violence (page 27).
This study investigates the depth of this alleged "hatred" concentrating mostly on the Arab world, the Middle East, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and even Europe itself but exemplifying the effects that the issue has in relation to American values and lifestyles.
Drawing upon the considerable history of this subject and quoting many religious, secular, educational and media sources, the reader is presented with a chilling scrutiny of how the young people being brought up within such cultures (the book placing particular emphasis upon those of an Islamic nature) are allegedly being "brainwashed" and "indoctrinated" with a fervent hatred that is described as even being reinforced by what are cited as the "official government-sanctioned Arab media" distributed throughout the Middle East & the International community as a whole. Examples being provided which show how the message being presented is what the book quotes as "direct incitement to murder" (page 157).
References of particular note towards the end of this presentation are the inclusion of what are cited as a Friday sermon broadcast on official Palestinian Authority TV, the Palestinian Hamas Charter and the PLO's "phased plan" to eradicate the Jewish state of Israel. The contents of these references shown in the book to mirror the "hatred" which is at the very core of this study.
Although in excess of 300 pages, this book is extremely well written and very easy to read. The concern of the source permeates the text and a creditable objectivity is obtained in relation to an extremely contentious subject, without bordering upon what some may call "Islamophobia".
Might I respectfully recommend to interested persons two other books entitled "Peace; The Arabian Caricature" by Arieh Stav and "American Prophecies" by Michael D. Evans. Thank you for your courtesy and time.
