There's a lot going on in this book. The most interesting part of the book to me was the actual quotations from the Koran, and the descriptions of the life in Mohammed. The most important points that it makes are those pertaining to the cultural differences between the West and the Muslim world. My whole life I've heard that Jihad is against Islam because Islam doesn't sanction the murder of innocents. However, this book points out that many leading Muslim clerics and texts claim that all infidels are not innocents. Further, the book explores the idea that much is considered offensive under Sharia law, including things like churches, Bibles, crosses, and uncovered women, and that these offensive things must be destroyed. Overall, the points about political correctness blinding Western to the flaws of Islamic ideology are dead on. My complaint about this book is twofold. One, the sources are weak. When I clicked on one of the footnotes and was redirected to Infowars, I lost a lot of my respect for the author's scholarly credentials. Second, all of the conclusion is about how to get Muslims to change their minds. It does not discuss the possibility of Europeans changing their minds about Multiculturalism. However, with the right-wing backlash that came in 2016, it is apparent that Europeans and Americans are frustrated. This book dances around the possibility of populist and nationalist backlash to mass migration, but does not discuss it as a real possibility or solution to the threat of Jihad.
A name of the book should be changed to The Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad from Evangelical Christian. In case if you are not familiar with Islam, except to read a lot of some factually true information with some serious omissions of truth and very far fetching conclusion. Spoiler alert: you should change convert Muslims into Christian! Full disclosure, for me all religions are the source of many evil things in our society today. The author, however, seem to confuse religion and ideology. The reality is that the real problem today is religious fundamentalism in any form. Take Hindus in India, who are willing to kill humans for anything done to their sacred animal, the cow! Outrageous, yet true! The most victims of Islam fundamentalism today including the most recent attack in Egyptian mosque of all places are fellow Muslims. I firmly believe in separation of state and church, the only way to establish fair human rights to all groups, including woman and gays and lesbians, transgender etc. Wahhabism is the true evil kind of Islam being distributed form the great friend of the West, Saudi Arabia. Iran is far less dangerous than North Korea, far more peaceful country despite being portrayed in very dark colors in Western media. The majority of Muslim country are changing due to socioeconomic pressures.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad by William Kilpatrick is one of the bestselling Politically Incorrect Guide series that presents the inner workings of radical Islamic terrorist groups and their plans to spread out and conquer the west. Loaded with facts that the politically correct crowd tends to ignore as they blindly repeat that Islam is a religion of peace. While radicals can be associated with many groups, the Muslim radicals have shown themselves to be particularly brutal with respect to torture and murder as well as their penchant to enslave populations, particularly women for sex. The author does a good job collecting important information and facts about the various factions and presenting it in a form that is easily understood.
The title of the book made me curious to read it. I am Muslim, and I want to know the other point of view. From the first pages, I was shocked by the hate speech. Many things were written as a fact but they are not the truth at all. The writer mentioned true accidents and crimes and blamed Islam for it. If I am not a Muslim and read this book, I will for sure hate everything related to it. This book is not a good book to read about Islam or Jihad. What a disappointment.
