Numerous acts of Islamic terrorism are committed around the globe (see the website, Jihadwatch.com for the details, and many illuminating articles in the daily web newspaper, Frontpagemag.com); many are averted by intelligent agencies and some slip through the net to make the rest of us pay with our lives. Yet the Islamic communities and Islamic countries remain silent about these beastly acts, but after a while they blame United States or Israel. The 9/11 attack on United States is blamed on CIA and Israel, the Islamic rampage that followed the publication of cartoons in an unknown Danish newspaper was blamed on Danish media and Danish government, and the Palestinian terrorism is blamed on Israel. Islamists living in the nook and corner of the planet hate Israel even though they have nothing to do with Israel, geographically, politically or economically. How do they dupe the rest of the world again and again and still continue to prosper in spreading their ideology, and immerse families, neighborhoods and communities in hijab, burqa and sharia culture? The author provides an explanation for this apparent foolishness or more politely called "political correctness." This is a well researched book by an author who has written several articles on the subject in the internet magazine "New English Review."
The author observes that the spiritual vacuum created in the faith is largely due to an absolute and unconditional surrender to the idea that man has to devote himself to Islam and its material aspirations, especially religious sovereignty. The followers have to be relentless in converting all infidels into Islam, and expand its authority until global Islamic Caliphate is established. Anyone leaving Islam into another faith is an act of apostasy which is punished by death. Allah does not respect the free will of man; therefore all three thousand people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 would have died at that hour regardless. The Islamic terrorists, who perpetrated this act, were only puppets on a stage, obeying the will of Allah. According to Islamic logic, Allah caused it as punishment for our sins, the sins of America as a collective entity. Her book concludes giving the reasons why Islam should not qualify as a religion: it fails to nurture the individual or promote social harmony, among other things. Since people in the West have neglected their own religious traditions for so long, it is assumed that religion itself is unimportant. She suggests that we have to weigh and choose which ethnic group ought to be tolerated in a civil society, and their belief systems must be of utmost concern if one cares about the destiny of humanity. One cannot counter the "God of Fear" with the "God of Nothing."
