PLEASE read this book! Staggering in its implications | |
| I'm 52 years old and consider myself well educated. But my ignorance of Islam and the implications of "Mohammadism" were shocking to me. Our educations, ALL of our educations, suffer from a narrow perspective and the pressures of whatever the prevailing political orthodoxy happens to be. This book explodes the cuddly ecumenical world view that is STILL in fashion that all monotheists are but different shades of the same color. In assessing the nature of Islam William Gladstone put it best: "They [Muslims] were, upon the whole, from the black day when they first entered Europe, the one great anti-human specimen of humanity. Wherever they went, a broad line of blood marked the track behind them, and, as far as their dominion reached, civilization disappeared from view. They represented everywhere government by forces opposed to government by law." And this was said BEFORE the slaughter of 100's of thousands by the Turks in the TWENTIETH century. The myth of the "moderate" Muslim is a diabolical politically correct canard forged on the anvil of "tolerance". And to the extend that we've accepted this monstrous invention we've allowed ourselves to become denuded and emasculated. That we still allow ANY Muslim to immigrate to this country is a testimony to our failure to understand the problem and a failure of will to solve this crisis. Make no mistake, Islam is a gutter religion with the capacity to destroy civilization. William Durant in his "The Story of Civilization" succinctly stated, [Islam is] "probably the bloodiest story in history." He called it a "discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within." The bitter lesson, Durant concluded, was that "eternal vigilance is the price of civilization. A nation must love peace, but keep its powder dry." Indeed, man's grasp on civilization is tenuous. It takes but one generation to separate men from their past. And men cut adrift from the certitudes and accumulated wisdom of the generations that have gone before are highly susceptible to the centrifugal forces of chaos. This elaborate edifice that we can the modern world could easily fold in the face of a committed enemy particularly in light of the fact that by nearly all measurements the West has lost its will. It would be impossible for this or any book to suffer from overstatement insofar as the pernicious designs of Islam are concerned. | |
At Last The Truth About Islam! | |
| For readers sick of being spoon-fed politically correct pablum of the "Islam is a religion of peace" variety The Sword Of The Prophet" comes not a moment too soon! I read this book -- the pages turn like an engrosing novel -- on a flight from NY to London. When I got off the plane I made several calls to people telling them to drop everything and buy this book. Tracing the history of Islam up to our present age the author pulls no punches and yet is dispassionate and fair. One gets the idea that he writes more in sorrow than in anger as he traces the loss of human rights and dignity that follow Islam wherever it goes. Women, Jews, christians, Hinndus and other non-Muslims will ignore this great book at risk of being fooled then attacked from within their own cultures by radical Islam. This is a must read and should be required reading of every university student as well as all our leaders. | |
