New York Times bestselling author Brigitte Gabriel delivers an urgent warning about radical Islam's expansion in America and beyond. Gabriel argues that fundamentalist Islam, rooted in seventh century teachings, stands fundamentally opposed to democratic values and equality. She contends that radical Islamists view all non-Muslims as enemies deserving death and are building their presence on American soil through increasing numbers of madrassas and other institutions. The author claims radical Islam manipulates America's legal protections of religious freedom to advance anti-Western ideology. Gabriel addresses the historical and religious foundations of radical Islam, documenting what she sees as its dangerous infiltration into societies worldwide. She calls for Americans to reject political correctness and demand stronger government action. Drawing on her experience as a sought-after terrorism expert who has faced critics and death threats, Gabriel presents this book as a call to action for protecting American society from what she views as an existential threat.
