Part-5

In addition to scholarly works, Prof. Lewis wrote countless influential books such as: "The Arabs in History" "The Middle East & the West" & "The Middle East". (I read the first 2)

9/11 popularized his essay: "The Roots of Muslim Rage"

In 'What Went Wrong?" (written before 9/11), he explored Muslim's fear & hostility to modernity

In his view, "Muslim terrorism & suicide bombing developed in the 20th century" with no justification in Islamic theology, law, or tradition"

[Mathilda Zoink]

Part-3

In "A License to Kill" Prof. Lewis term Bin Laden's language as "ideology of jihad" & danger to the West.

Lewis writes on Islamic culture, Shari'a Law, Jihad & Terrorism in "Islam: The Religion of the People".

Jihad as "religious obligation" & people engaging in terrorist activities unaware of their own religion. Wow!!!

He argues that "widespread terror practice of suicide bombing is a 20th development" with no justification by Islamic theology"

Part-2

Prof. Lewis views on Christendom & Islam as civilizations in perpetual collision since 7th A.D intrigue my curiosity for quite some time.

Especially his essay "The Roots of Muslim Rage" ('90) where he alerts that the clash between the West & Islam is gaining momentum

He introduced the term "Islamic fundamentalism". He used the phrase "clash of civilizations" in 1957 (before S. Huntington's famous book "Clash of Civilizations"

"SECRETS of the KINGDOM" - Gerald Posner

A fascinating story of Saudi-U.S. Connection

Shocking expose of billions of Petrol dollars spent by Saudis to promote Wahhabi extremism world wide

-Madrasses, academies & supposed "charities"

(such as "Benevolentia" & "Al Haramain". Conduits to siphon to Al Kaead's by Saudi financial sponsors)

"SAUDI ARABIA EXPOSED: Inside a kingdom in crisis" - John R. Bradley

Simply shocking!

Part-2

-A critique of multiculturalism, weak policing, cultural relativism, & 'victim culture'.

-These forces combined to create an ideal breeding ground for Islamic terrorists.

-The centrality of London based individuals & groups to many terror plots around the world, enabled by a semi-formal "covenant of security" between Islamists & UK. Zacharias Moussaoui & shoebomber Richard Reid for example

[Mathilda Zoink]

I'm a huge fan of Bat Ye'or who is a pioneering scholar of the dhimma. Each of her books is full with primary source documents that bring the harsh realities of dhimmitude home & give the lie to Islamic apologists & whitewashers who try to explain it away

-"The Dhimmi Jews & Christians Under Islam" ('85)

-"The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam" ('96)

- "Islam & Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations collide" ('10)

3 excellent books (Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press)
