 The Sword of the Prophet
Islam History, Theology, Impact on the World
Serge Trifkovic
We hear it said: September 11 changed America forever. Less often do we hear a coherent explanation of what, exactly, changed. What changed, in fact, was that for the first time in American history, we have been forced to confront Islamic militancy as it has assaulted the rest of the world for almost 14 centuries.
In The Sword of the Prophet, the reader receives the unvarnished truth about the rise of Islam and the patterns set by its founder, Muhammad; the historical meaning of jihad against the (non-Muslim) infidel that we see today in the al-Qaeda terror network; the broad sweep of the global military, political, moral, and spiritual struggle that faces us; and what we must do if we wish to survive.
The sober, factual, and contextual presentation found in this book is essential. Every person owes it to himself or herself to know the real score of the post 9/11 world—and this invaluable volume is the place to start. |
