Summary: Absolutely horrible
Review: Although the book is well written from a literary point of view it holds no historical or political merits whatsoever. The historical accounts are horribly inaccurate and the political views are so skewed that about half way through the book I decided to return it to Amazon. I recommend to any reader who is interested in the subject matter to take an Islamic history class, Middle Eastern history class or an early Jewish history class at a college or university instead.

Summary: Questions for Burke Churchill
Review: I agree with Burke Churchill's review. The quote from Will Durant's book, THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION: OUR ORIENTAL HERITAGE (vol. 1), refers to India where Mohammedan invasion was rightly termed as the "bloodiest story of history".
However, what I can't find reassuring is the issue with Muslim immigration to USA. How come after 9/11 no candidate has forcefully dealt with this issue ? Nobody wants to discuss this at all. Why ? Because of the Saudi Arabian influence on American politics ?

Summary: Powerful book
Review: I can't overemphasize how important this book it.Most people in the USA are so pro-Palestinian that they are oblivious to the dangers of Islam. What they don't realize, is that after they are done with Israel, the militant Muslims will come after the infidels of the USA. The biggest secret is that Islam hates the USA. Read this book and see why.

Summary: Correct assesment, weak academics
Review: I was hopeful when I saw this book, it seemed what I was waiting for. For many years I have been digesting books on Islam. I read the Koran(an english version of course) and I read 'The Rage and the Pride' and 'In the Path of God Islam and Political Power' and 'What went wrong' and many other books discussing the political/religious offensive against American and the world. But this book was sadly lacking. The author wants to show us how Islamic Jihad has entered a new phase and how the attack on america was an inevitabloe extension of islams 1500 year holy war against the world. Well the author tries to illuminate the passages in the Koran that exhort Islamic soldiers to assault the infidels world. Then the author shows how Jihad is practiced all over the world today(from Kashmir to the phillipines to the Sudan). Then the author shows us how Islam has infiltrated Europe and America through organizations like CAIR(an islamofascist group that says it wants to help us understand the 'peaceful' religion). The book is right on the mark but the authors organization is weak and so is the text as well as the historical info. The author cites some of Islams current holy wars but leaves out key places like Nigeria. I recommend both of Daniel Pipes books "Militant Islam reaches America" and "In the Path of God" his books are organized more logically and draw attention to similar themese of Islamic assault on the west. This book had potential but its author let us down. Its true that Islam is as great a threat today as Fascism was in 1939 and Communism in 1950, but this book is simply not academically resilient.

Summary: Militant Islam Exposed
Review: In this book Robert Spencer argues that violence and terrorism are not necessarily out of place for a Muslim. The Koran, Islamic law (Sharia), the example of Muhammad and Islamic history all provide support for these sorts of activities. With a wealth of documentation, the author shows that the concept of jihad (holy war) and dhimmitude (the subjugation of non-Muslim minorities), continues to strongly influence many Muslims today. Consider the doctrine of jihad. Just what does it mean and involve? Because there is no ultimate central authority in Islam, argues Spencer, disagreement exists as to interpreting the Koran, the weight of tradition (Hadith), and the example of Muhammad. But the Koran (Sura 9:29), Islamic history and jurisprudence all hold that there are three choices for the non-Muslim in a Muslim land: conversion to Islam, dhimmitude, or death. "The goal of jihad is thus the incorporation of non-Muslims into Muslim society, either by conversion or submission." Koranic injunctions to fight are numerous, as they are in the various collections of Hadith. And Muhammad himself set the example of violent conquest. The idea of complete submission to Islam, even to the point of death, argues Spencer, "remains a vital part of Islamic theology". Thus jihad is very much concerned with the concept of holy war, and even terrorism. Hand in hand with jihad is the notion of dhimmitude. Non-Muslims in Muslim countries are considered dhimmis, or protected peoples. Such protection however often results in second-class citizenship (and worse) for the minority groups. Various social, political and religious restrictions, along with the mandatory payment of a poll-tax (jizya) effectively spells the gradual liquidation of the minority groups. Apologists for Islam often claim that these practices may have been true in the past, but are no longer so prevalent. But Spencer amply documents how both jihad and dhimmitude are alive and well in most Muslim nations today. September 11 was, to a great degree, a logical outcome of the concept of jihad. Some however argue that as the ultimate suicide bombing, Sept. 11 cannot be reconciled with Islam, since suicide is sinful in Islam. But many Muslims defend suicide bombing, arguing that it is not really suicide but martyrdom for Allah, something much praised in the Koran. They insist that the bombers simply use their bodies to kill others, not themselves. And those who are killed while fighting for Allah are promised a one-way ticket to Paradise. Interestingly, in Islam, no other action guarantees one's eternal destiny in Paradise. A good part of this book documents how radical Islam is at war against not only the West, but moderate Muslims as well. He offers detailed, referenced accounts of how militant Muslims are at work in the West, and how many Western sympathisers have been duped by their words of peace and tolerance. Yes, the Koran does speak of these ideas, but it also contains many verses devoted to violent intolerance. He documents how Western leftists have been silent on Muslim atrocities, presumably because only America is capable of evil. He details how leftist apologists for radical Islam in the West have distorted the evidence and closed their ears to the facts of history. This attempt to blame America first and justify Muslim jihad are having serious repercussions in the West, says Spencer. And the truth is, he argues, for the radical Muslim, Islam is at war with the world, and until all the earth is brought under Dar al-Islam (the house, or rule, of Islam), terror, fighting and suicide bombings will continue. That is why the West needs to be ever vigilant, and needs to continue to encourage moderate Islam to gets its own house in order, and disassociate itself entirely from the extremist elements. While we must do all we can to encourage Muslim moderation, we dare not ignore Muslim extremism. This books helps us to do both, and deserves a wide reading.

Summary: Islam is not a Religion
Review: Islam is an ideology like Democracy, Communism or Nazism. Islam is really a nation (stealth like in America and France or a real nation like in Saudi Arabia and Egypt) consisting of a military,politics,laws,culture, and all under the facade of a religion. Spencer exposes the facade. It is without a doubt the nation from hell continuing its fifteen centuries of war and mayhem everyday. A threat to all of the world today.

Summary: Powerful and honest
Review: Most American's think that Muslim's hate America due to its support of Israel. That could not be farther from the truth. Even if America were not pro-Israel, they still would have the USA. American's are non-believers and for that, they are infidels. Being an infidel is one of the worst things in Islam. This is a horrifying book since it is so close to home.
The facts are real.
The Arabs don't deny it.
15 of the 19 hijackers of 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia, and they don't even apologize. Every American should read this book, and then write their congressman to take action against the dangers of Islam.

Summary: Looks inside the pysche of an islamic mind
Review: Muhammad's(PBUH)life has been a struggle for upholding an ideology and the strong theme that comes out of the Quran is the struggle against odds. Unfortunately, it is all to easy to interpret (wrong or right) the Quran to incite illiterate and poor masses and focus their emotions to negative acts. This has repeatedly happened in history. People often say to be that they judge a religion by what people do not what they say. People do what they do because QURAN allows for easy interpretation by elements.
