While many choose to simply blame the West for provoking terrorists, Robert Spencer's new book The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)™ reveals why it is time to ignore political correctness and identify the enemy - if we hope to ever defeat them. In a fast-paced, politically incorrect tour of Islamic teachings and Crusades history, Spencer reveals the roots of Islamic violence and hatred. Spencer refutes the myths popularized by left-wing academics and Islamic apologists who justify their political agendas with contrived historical "facts." Exposing myth after myth, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)™ tackles Islam's institutionalized mistreatment of non-Muslims, the stifling effect Islam has on science and free inquiry, the ghastly lure of Islam's X-rated Paradise for suicide bombers and jihad terrorists, the brutal Islamic conquests of the Christian lands of the Middle East and North Africa, and more. In The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)™, you will learn: How Muhammad did not teach "peace and tolerance"-instead he led armies and ordered the assassination of his enemies Why American Muslim groups and left-wing academics are engaged in a huge cover-up of Islamic doctrine and historyHow today's jihad terrorists following the Qur'an's command to make war on Jews and Christians have the same motives and goals as the Muslims who fought the Crusaders Why the Crusades were not acts of unprovoked aggression by Europe against the Islamic world, but a delayed response to centuries of Muslim aggression What must be done today-from reading the Qur'an to reclassifying Muslim organizations-in order to defeat jihad terrorists.… (more)

Not a bad book, but like all the volumes in the Politically Incorrect Guide series, the format and the cover alone screams "preaching to the choir." Still, Spencer's book rehashes all the standard stuff. Namely, when you compare the Koran to the New Testament, Muhammed and Jesus come across as quite different. The Koran has some quite good bits, but, quite a number of bad bits. Namely, modern civil liberties and representative government (I would add the free enterprise system too) are products of a Christian West, but Islam and Islamic society is generally incompatible with such things. A secularized Islamic state, like Turkey, may make it possible, but Islam and the West really don't mix that well (unless you ignore a lot of the Koran and many a hadith). I'm sorry. History and the statements of Islamic fundamentalists make that plain. This book, in the typically PIG way, underscores that truth. ( )

Published in 2005, The Politically Incorrect guide to Islam is still amazingly current in 2017. If one were to judge the book by its cover, one would presume it to be sensationalist and provocative. The contents are, however, more civilised than the tabloid-like cover. The author, Robert Spencer, has done a good job referencing relevant source material. The book is probably not very balanced, but writings more amenable to Islam are surely also biased (reversely), while conforming to political correctness. The book made many important points and taught me several new things. (Read detailed analysis on my blog) ( )

Interesting, informative and thought provoking. It will be interesting to see where the tenants of the Islamic faith leads and how the world will respond based on the historical, current and future given the underlying desire to have Islamic rule. I appreciated the book references, the history and comparison with the Christian faith. ( )
