I urge people to look at the reviews and comments on the book American Jihad by Emerson. It is an interesting book, and draws a distinction between what the ‘right wing’ in Islam has been doing for the last 20 years. I don’t think most of the ‘westernized muslims’ have been completely aware of what has been happening, if this book is accurate.

Well he is basically targetting mujahideen whom even the most secular muslim would call real freedom fighters. Hizbullah had been waging guirella war with Israel to oust it from Lobnan, while the Islamic jehad and hamas are doing the same thing in palestine to get their land back from the zionists. These gruops Jihad/ hamas have never carried out any anti american activity. (Activity meaning bombings or killings)
Why all "old Lahories" the refugees of india from Pakistan ,been peddling Anti -Muslim Anti Islamic ideas & books .
No muslim will ever agree with this Emerson guy whom i know for many years by last name EMERSON ...He Bernard Lewis & Freidman are trio very nice english language writers as far as skill of manipulating words & smooth talk is concerne ...A trait i must admit very seldom found in muslim so there fore our rejection in the english literate populace.
This trio are all KUTTER jewish Zionist rascist Isarelist ...read at your own peril & expense of 15 $ that this book is going to make this jew richer .
