One of the most important books of the year, without a doubt. Serves to illustrate the logic by which Al Qaeda operates as well as the huge gulf between their actual beliefs and what they say in propaganda aimed at the West (such as the latest video from Blackbeard bin Laden, yarrrrr!). Raymond Ibrahim deserves as much praise for the well selected content as for his excellent translation.
Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand who and what al Qaeda is.
