The authors make a case for the connection between the Nazis and radical Islam in this interesting book. I found it especially interesting in comparison to arguments made in The Lemon Tree: A Muslim, A Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East. Both books make it painfully clear that the issues between Israel and the Arab nations will not be easily resolved. My only complaint about Icon of Evil is that I wish there had been more information. For instance, Anwar Sadat is mentioned several times a

I read this book in a week for a fellowship program I'm a part of (Write on For Israel). The book was extremely well-researched and gave a historically accurate and extremely interesting account of the grand mufti of Jerusalem, who collaborated with Hitler to exterminate the Bosnia Jews.
Even though the book speaks primarily about a mufti who was at his height in the 1940s, the book is not dated. The later portion of the book is dedicated to explain the birth and growth of radical Isl More...

Well written , with a ton of research most people neve More...

I was not aware of the dark connection between radical muslims and the Nazi regime. This connection helps to explain the continued antisemitism to the present day.

An essential read to discover why Palestine and the surrounding Arab countries are filled with an ever-growing and sustained hatred for the Jewish state of Israel.

I'm a John Rothmann fan, I admit it. So, despite the less than stellar reviews, I wanted to read this. It's fascinating, and scary. And it makes me sad because I doubt I will EVER understand the hatred that revolves around the Jews, and how it poisons the entire region...reading about how the British and French (and guess who) carved up Iraq decades ago, and it was all about petroleum.
