I highly recommend this book - it is a compelling read that opened my eyes to the reality that Islam is a dangerous ideology and way of life, not just a religion, and how the growing incursion of Muslims into Western cultures will chip away at the freedom and liberties we have come to take for granted. Among many other things, the author also explains how the victim mentality of many Muslims and Arabs affects behavior and attitudes (and helps advance Islam while eroding western values); how women are forced to bear full responsibility for morality and sexuality while men bear none; and how and why Muslim demands increase as their population increases in a country or even a region. Save for a few typos that the editors should have caught, this book is very well written - I found it hard to put down, even though it was difficult to read about the atrocities and human rights violations of Islam again and again. The Egyptian-born (now American), journalist author who was raised as Muslim but renounced it, is passionate about what she writes, is an authoritative source, and has lived and witnessed some of the worst of what Islam enforces on its followers. However, she does also offer many suggestions for how (and why) to counterbalance, resist and simply say no to the demands of Muslims and especially Arab Muslims, and she concludes with a list of well described recommendations.
