Andrew McCarthy argues that terrorism represents only the visible surface of a deeper threat to American democracy. The author contends that Islamist ideology has found willing partners among American progressives who share goals of transforming the constitutional system. McCarthy presents evidence that this alliance actively promotes Islamic law within American communities while government officials accommodate rather than resist these efforts. The book examines how President Obama's policies reflect sympathies toward Islamist movements and describes the establishment of Islamic communities that reject American values. McCarthy warns that this collaboration between Islamist forces and the American Left systematically undermines individual freedoms and constitutional principles. The author offers readers an analysis of how ideological movements can threaten democratic institutions from within.
