Islam claims to be a religion of peace and tolerance, yet the fact remains that jihad, or Islamic holy war, is growing faster than ever. In his new book, Onward Muslim Soldiers, Robert Spencer reveals exactly why this is the case. He shows how jihad warriors have penetrated and More...established themselves in the American homeland and how they are quickly gaining a hold in Europe, spreading values of hatred, violence, and intolerance as they go. Spencer, a student of Islam for over twenty years, gives a unique perspective on the fundamental bases and truths of Islam, focusing on facts that the media often disregards or denies, including:

1.Why Iraqi democracy will have a tough time no matter how long American troops stay in the country
2.The American Left: its unholy alliance with radical Islam
3.The concept of jihad: how it poisons chances for peace in Israel and in other conflicts
4.The myth of Islamic tolerance in history and today
5.Why the threat of violent jihad is growing daily, despite claims that Islam is a religion of peace
6.How Muslims are undermining Western Europe's commitment to freedom
7.Why moderate Muslims have been unable to stop the spread of violent Islam

With a special focus on how the jihad propagates terrorism, Spencer provides a timely, reasoned look at the threats of radical Islam and a list of steps that must be taken to combat jihad terrorism before it's too late.
