Well researched, covers all the bases Trifkovic's work is an excellent overview of many issues regarding Islam. Especially important are sections covering brief histories of various regions that don't normally receive much attention, such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, and others. He reports 14 centuries worth of massacres of Christian, Jew, and other non-Muslim populations in depressing detail, but his thorough research indicates truthfulness we will never see in the mainstream media. It is in a rather academic writing style, so some readers will need to keep a dictionary handy, but it is well worth the effort. | ||
Detailed Insights into the Present Islamic Threat If you want to know the truth about the radical Islamic threat to the West, this book is full of great information. I was underlining on many pages in my copy and plan to keep it rather than sell it as used here at Amazon. This book is a keeper. I highly recommend this book. | ||
A Must Read So many good reviews have been written I will be short. Serge Trifkovic a journalist contends Islam is not "a religion of peace" but one of "violence and cruelty." He analyzes Islamic theology and practice set forth by teachings of the prophet Muhammad and the Koran to demonstrate the historical roots of jihad and Islamic militancy. | ||
THE BORG ARE COMING!! ....(slowly) Q: What's this? "I love you, ouch!"... "And I love you, ouch!" A: Two porcupines on a date. This politically incorrect guide to Islam reads like a college textbook. It is not poorly written; however, it does make for some dry reading (hence the 3 stars). If you feel that your buddy at work just has to read this book, don't give it to him; he won't find the interest to plow through it versus watching a Seinfield rerun. That doesn't mean that Trifkovic's work should be ignored, just slightly dreaded. Robert Spencer is easier to read. Mark Steyn is more humorous and entertaining. For the subject at hand, you might consider reading one of them first. As a synopsis of this book's content, let me suggest that the reader can equate the ideology at hand with the Borg Collective's play book. Whereas the Borg have the technical advantage, Islam will continue to spread through inevitable demographic dynamics. The bumps along the way include that type of tomfoolery so profiled in Darfur Now. Q: Why is that joke at the top of this review? A: Books such as Trifovic's and their reviews in formats such as this are crucial; however, it happens not without concern of getting pricked. Note: Be vague, be very vague. | ||
All The Facts You'll Ever Need This is a very slow read, but a tremendous reference. A factual recount of the history of the world's fastest growing religion. It quotes "chapter and verse" and should prove to be irrefutable. Inform yourself about what they did and why. Every statement is backed by footnotes and references to other authors and the Koran itself. An extensive bibliography is included. | ||
