This hard-hitting and absorbing critique of Islamic teachings and practices regarding non-Muslim minorities exposes a significant human rights scandal that rarely receives any mention either in academic circles or in the mainstream press.
In his collection of nearly 60 essays and primary documents, editor Spencer (who runs the Jihad Watch weblog) counters what he views as a misleading and dangerous view of Islam being presented by Western civil rights organizations and others interested in distancing ordinary Muslims from extremists such as Osama bin Laden. Spencer and his contributors assert that in fact, a culturally ingrained contempt for outsiders characterizes much of the Islamic world and is a primary catalyst for terrorism, suicide bombings, and anti-Semitism.
