I thought that this was a news article rather than a multi-volume treatise on the various traditions on mysticism in Islam.

Swami’s writings, on Islamic extremism,which I’ve followed for several years, are far better than western writers who either treat Islam as the hapless victim or the beneficiary of dumb liberal politicians.

I thought that this was a news article

Well, it's commentary and he's as incisive as the north side of a barn. To each his own! :)

I recommend reading "Partisans of Allah," otherwise it's hard to believe how bad things have gotten. (Just don't purchase it -- use the interlibrary loan!) The author spews the kind of koolaid that saturates the mind of 0bama's counterterrorism official, John Brennan, who said, "Jihadists -- describing terrorists in this way, using a legitimate term, 'jihad,' which means to purify oneself, or to wage a holy struggle for a moral goal..."

You can get the full context on youtube:

Partisans is based on such diabolical lies.

With that I bid you adieu and best wishes for a happy new year!
