Now that the United States is militarily engaged with radical Islam, it is vital Americans understand the nature of the religious war that is upon us. Did the attack on the World Trade center have "nothing to do with Islam," as Britain's Prime Minister Blair put it? Is our State Department correct in saying "Islam is peace"? Ben Hart disagrees, offering not only a concise history of Islam but also a terrifying narrative of contemporary Islamic religious hatred which harks back to the violent seventh century vision of Muhammad and his successors. Unlike Christ or Buddha, Muhammed was a man of the sword as well as the word, and today the violent strain of Islam has re-emerged as a clear and present danger, not only to the non-Islamic world but also to those of the world's one billion Muslims who follow the more moderate sections of the Koran. Hart's "quick read" on radical Islam is a handy corrective, both to today's lack of information, and to the misinformation, about today's world conflict. Media ><
