Very comprehensive

Despite the shocking and controversial title this book is a very intelligent collection of scholarly work on the subject of radical Islam, radical Islamic treatment of minorities in the Middle east, the challenge of Radical Islam in Europe and the question of what to do about it. Patrick Sookhdeo writes a sobering account of genocide in the Sudan. Raphael Israeli covers the `re-islamization' of the Balkans and examines the role of Jihadis and imported Arabs in the Kosovo war and the Bosnian war. K.P.S. Gill and Ajai Shni look at islams role in south east Asia, particularly the Islamist terror in Thailand and Indonesia, and perhaps leading the reader to look deeper at Islamic terror in China and the Phillipines. Joseph Farah and Shaul Shay take a deeper look into the maturization of the new radical Islam in the Afghan war, and Algeria and Lebanon and how they single handedly declared war on the rest of the world. Also noted here is how in the west Islamists and their apologists `play the press'. A third section covers `unconventional weapons' but unfortunately doesn't cover the unconventional means, whereby terrorism has learned to defeat armies since democracies and western nations with western concepts of Human rights cannot confront radical Islam on the battlefield fairly. Islamists use and exploit the west's laws in order to defeat the west and murder `infidels'. David Bukay does an excellent job of summing up the book which he edited. This is a new edition to book examining the role of Islamism and its mutli-faceted approach is helpful because it gives the reader a variety of perspectives. The book is both scholaraly and intelligent and easy to grasp for the general audience. The inflammatory title may distract some from this book, but this is a very down to earth well reasoned address of many islamist issues and islamist causes many of which, like South east asia, go unnoticed.
