Reality and The War On Terror

Who better than a former terrorist to tell you what kind of indoctrination he received as a child, and grew into a man believing. The author is now a Christian, but only after exhaustive efforts to convince his wife that Islam is right, and Christianity is wrong. In using the Bible to try to prove it, he found out that he, himself, was wrong......dead wrong. He speaks out now, at the risk of his own life. He could be killed at any time for what he does. The book is his follow-up to another called "Why I Left Jihad." He is highly intelligent, his research complete, and his descriptions of Radical Islamists first-hand and accurate. The book is one you should not miss reading, because it helps anyone who does not have a full understanding of what we are up against in this war to "get it." He allows you to see the beginning, and what the end will be like if we do no proactively continue the fight.

Hard to put down

With very few exceptions, this book is written in a concise manner. I found it hard to put down. I began reading it, "...with a big grain of salt.", as they say. I expected it to be a hateful book. However, it produces verifiable quotes for the reader to further investigate. It provides a view that I am sure is disputed, but the author has credentials to speak on the topic. This book is worthy of a read by leftists, rightists and free-thinkers such as myself

The #1 book to understand what we are facing

Mr. Shoebat gives the most credible insight to what the world faces from the threat of the Islamic ideology that drives young Muslims all over the world to carry out world Islamic domination. It also exposes the agenda of "moderate Muslims" who are in a giant scheme of deception and propaganda to disguise the threat. A book that the main stream media seems to want to avoid because it completely bursts their bubble with someone who has the real credibilty to undermine their positions of political correctness.

Absolutely essential

This book is authored by that rarest of breeds, the reformed terrorist. It offers an absolutely essential insider's look into the world of terrorism. This may be one of our few glimpses into this world and the lessons we can learn from it are invaluable. A must-read for all.

Why We want To Kill You

A Great Follow Up to Mr. Shoebat's previous book. It has fascinating incites to the thinking of terrorists and terror sympathizers. It clearly defines Islamic fundamenatlist goals and makes arguments that need to be taken very seriously concerning the the number one problem concerning the freedoms we now enjoy but are under serious threat. The number one book to read on understanding the threat of Islamic fundamentalist inspired terror. A former terrorist now on our side is a must read for everyone.
