This month, Michael's guest is author Robert Spencer, who discusses his new book "Onward Muslim Soldiers: How Jihad Still Threatens America and The West." In this shocking new book, author Robert Spencer details how jihad warriors have already established numerous footholds right here in America, and are an established, growing, and ominous threat in Europe. Onward Muslim Soldiers: How Jihad Still Threatens America and the West reveals the open violent contempt of radical Muslims in the United States and around the world for Western freedom and tolerance, and details why a clash of civilizations is already upon us. Join us and learn of the threat that still lies within waiting to strike us again. The chat room will be open, and as always, you're welcome to toss me a question or three from there. That's Truth, Justice & the American Way with Michael King (mhking) tonight at 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific on Radio FR!Truth, Justice & the American Way

Let's get this over with FAST. Please contribute! |
One of his paragraphs in "Onward Muslim Soldiers," the chapter, "Jihad and the Koran" stuck out:
"...As their arguments become better known, terrorists' appeals to the Qur'an will be refuted by more level-headed Muslim voices. Lacking religious justification, the terrorists' rage will melt away in the warmth of massive infusions of American cash in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world."
"This is what those who dismiss religion as a true motivation for terrorism imagine will be the ultimate outcome of the war on terror. It is strange to secular Westerners that the interpretation of an ancient holy book could have important policy implications; hence the efforts by American and European analysts to reduce the stated Islamic motives of Osama bin Laden, Hamas, the Bali bomber, and all the rest to more familiar categories of economic, political, and social grievances. But this reductionism is not only redolent of the patronizing ethnocentrism the multiculturalists ostensibly eschew--it also risks severely misreading the dimensions of the terror threat."
Boy, is that a bullseye or what?!
