WAKE UP AMERICA! READ THIS BOOK.

Within this book are the bitter stories of decent people who have been culturally chained within oppressive Islamic societies. Included are the hard tales of pain and retribution for Muslims who have asked the wrong questions, for being a Muslim woman who just wants her own life or for being a slightly "progressive" thinker. Also illustrated are the everyday cruelties perpetrated by active Muslims on non-Muslims who are pathetically unaware of their true intentions. "Why We Left Islam" also clearly portrays the conscious scheming of practicing Muslims & how our misunderstanding of their religion combined with our own historical tolerance places us right in the jaws of these theological predators. The two dozen tragic tales that Susan Crimp and Joel Richardson have courageously compiled breaks the reader's heart and slaps you in the face. The stories bitterly awaken our deep feelings of concern that we have desperately tried to avoid. YES, Islamic nations are that brutal, YES, another culture, another religion, another entire part of the world wishes to end our existence as we know it. These painful testimonials clearly show how committed Muslims will use every rotten measure to cripple, ruin and devastate lives, at home or abroad, to achieve their "Godly" goals. "Why We Left Islam" also illustrates the concept of "Cultural Terrorism" and how it is being applied in Europe and America. Read this book and wake up to the truth. Quit denying the obvious. Other books to read are "Bleeding for Allah. Why Islam will Conquer the Free World", "Antichrist :Islam's Awaited Messiah", and "America Alone".

Only those who have been there can accurately comment

This book consists of articles written by people who have been on both the giving and the receiving end of Islam. Only they can truly describe the inner workings of this unforgiving religion. The authors have relied on several native Islam believers who were brought up in this religion and who witnessed the hate that it espouses. From the stated hypocrisy that women are equal to the unmitigated hate that Muslims carry for non believers, this book describes the personal pain that each author underwent in his/her journey away from hatred and into love. Some reviewers have labeled this book as a work of neocons and reactionaries. This is untrue. It has nothing to do with American politics and all to do with the dealing of religious hate and the intolerance of freedom. Those who describe this work as politically motivated in favor of the Right are both naive and self deluding for its really a collection of articles covering the subjects of courage under fire and a struggle to escape the demons of intolerance and hate. We,as Americans, have it easy compared to the 23 individuals in this book. We take for granted our freedom and find it hard to believe that these stories are true. But true they are, and after having read this book you'll want to pass it on to others. They found freedom in leaving Islam and you'll find the truth about it within its pages.

Truly eye-opening

I got this book as a result of the NY Daily News article and found it both fascinating and shocking. I never realized just how thoroughly Islam dominates the lives of its adherents and those born into it. Women being stoned to death for dating the wrong man, fathers turning their sons into the authorities for the simple crime of questioning long-held beliefs... It's just unbelievable that such things are happening in the 21st century, and that there are people in Western countries who actually find these abhorrent, barbaric acts justifiable by way of multiculturalism, which is itself a blight and a sham. I can't imagine reading this book and coming away unmoved, and I commend the publisher for the cover art and all it implies.

Great Book

This is a great book to read and will explain a lot to those who are looking for what really goes on within the Islamic Faith. My response to the 1st Review written: Apparantley the reveiwer has never been to Malaysia or Indonesia. IT IS ILLEGAL TO CONVERT FROM ISLAM TO ANOTHER RELIGION in those countries. There is not freedom of religion, unless you want to convert from a non-islamic faith to Islam, but not the other way around. There was just a big court case in Malaysia this last year where a Malaysian lady converted to Christianity and wanted her ID card changed to reflect she was no longer Muslim. This was not allowed and she was also fined, denied jobs, and may possibly receive a jail sentance. Islam is not a religion of peace, but of violence and war. Read about the history of Islam and its slaughter/genocide of Jews in Medina. Other good books to read if you want to know the truth are: Secrets of the Koran, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam, and An Inconvient Book. God Bless.
