Book Reviewed: Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs by Robert Spencer

Islamification of America Author Robert Spencer describes a long-term stealth strategy of jihad aimed at subverting American society from within. He proposes that while most counter-terrorism efforts focus on violent attacks, stealth jihad is a campaign to gradually introduce and ultimately establish Islamic law (Sharia) in the U.S. The author shows terror sponsors like Muslim Brotherhood and the Council of Islamic American Relations (CAIR) as the driving force behind this movement. They have reinvented themselves as mainstream civil rights activists to conceal an agenda of enforcement of Islamic values and Muslim culture. The strategies used by them are: Influencing U.S. government policy and guidelines on the War on Terror; the teaching of Islam in schools as a religion of peace; accommodations for Islamic religious practices at workplaces, public places like airports, and schools as part of a larger strategy; influencing government; and news media and entertainment landscapes. The goal is the same as that of violent jihad. This is a very illuminating work where the author clearly exposes Islam as inherently a violent political ideology, where religion, society and government are strongly integrated to impose Islamic laws much more efficiently.
