Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Timmerman, an investigative reporter who has written extensively about the Middle East for more than two decades, goes deep inside the Arab world to reveal the depth and extent of anti-Semitic hatred there—and to expose how the “new” anti-Semitism means not just hatred of Jews but also hatred of America and the West.
From Saudi Arabia to Egypt to Lebanon, vicious anti-Semitic and antiAmerican propaganda is spewing forth from the preachers of hate: Muslim clerics, government newspapers, government television networks, and even government officials. Many Muslim leaders are not simply encouraging the hatred; they are actually spending vast sums of money to spread the lies that spawned the terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks on America, the March 2004 Madrid bombing, and the May 2004 attack that killed six Westerners in Saudi Arabia.
Even more troubling, the hatred has spread throughout Europe and even to the United States. Timmerman has uncovered jaw-dropping examples of this anti-Semitic and anti-American hatred in this country, including at some of our most prestigious universities.
Preachers of Hate shows how the United States is suffering many defeats in the war on terror precisely because we continue to ignore this very real threat.

This is a highly narrative and even rambling exposition of the activities of Islamists around the world. This folksy approach will appeal to some people who find nonfiction "dry." It is also a highly first-hand account, providing a been-there, done-that feel.
Now and then, there is a striking piece of information that illuminates the situation that you will not read about in the mainstream press or see on TV, such as the government's seizing of the "Benevolence International Foundation's" videos and documents glorifying martyrdom in operations against Americans and Jews. (p. 281) "According to the charity's newsletter, seven of its officers were killed last year in battle in Chechnya and Bosnia." (p. 281)
The focus of the book is on the resurgence of anti-Jewish hate speech and activities in the U. S. and Europe, but a lot of attention is paid to Palestine and its never-ending series of "peace plans."
For those who want their information quick and to the point, and who want to know everything else that is going on in America that is threatening our future, see the new book, While America Sleeps: How Islam, Immigration and Indoctrination are Destroying America From Within. The times they are a-changin' and the people who know least about these changes will be the hardest hit.

Two nuggets of inestimable value surfaced in this book for me. First, it is the realization that the stupefying double-speak of so many Islamic voices is made possible by the fact that they say different things in English than they say in Arabic. The answer to this problem, as Timmerman so powerfully proves, is MEMRI (The Middle East Media and Research Institute). MEMRI is a translation service that publishes transcripts in English of articles, book excerpts, speeches, TV and radio programs, sermons, pamphlets, and school books from throughout the Middle East. Wow! I continue to be amazed and horrified by the things being said across the Arab world.
The second little gem that emerged from this important book is this question: what standards of scholarship exist in the Muslim world that would allow men of advanced degrees, academicians, professors, journalists, heads of state and leaders of the most important institutions of society to believe and disseminate such an absurd collection of wacko, lunatic theories that now consume the fetid minds of the Islamic world. From the utterly stupid, but widely reported stories of Jews distributing AIDS laced chewing gum to children; to the foolish notion of Jewish blood pastries; to the newest idiocy to sweep the universities of Islam: Holocaust Denial. It is as if entire nations were being led by the most ignorant collections of back-woods, hood-wearing, good old boys who, instead of being rejected utterly for their racism and stupidity are given credence and legitimacy on the world's stage. Does the King of Saudi Arabia also believe that the moon is made of cheese? Are the Universities of Egypt convening symposia to discuss why ships don't fall when they reach the edge of the flat earth? And exactly how many Syrian Generals does it take to screw in a light bulb?
The Truth matters and the world is burning wherever silly men are allowed to tell lies to support their irrational hatred of Jews or Israel or Bush or the US or (insert object of hatred by lunatic fringe conspiracy theorists here). Read Timmerman and be amazed.

"Preachers of Hate" is an unequivocally shocking documentation of the prevalent anti-Semitism existing in the Muslim world today. Kenneth Timmerman's research and presentation of the facts makes it almost undeniable that such hate around the globe still exists yesterday despite Islamic apologetics' efforts to conceal or justify it. This book does not hypocritically preach hate itself, as some disparagers might imply but more so presents theories backed by a multiple of pages of resources. He refrains from advocating counter-hate and compels a reader to wake up and see what is happening.
Any Westerner who has ever seen a news show in his/her life is aware of the violence and intolerance preached in the region but many are not aware of to what depth the prejudice runs in the veins of the Muslim world. Although the book is rather long and a time-consuming read, there doesn't seem to be another of it's kind available today. Mr. Timmerman proves an undeniable fact that anti-Semitism still exists in the world and how many try to excuse or vindicate it. Some examples he sets forth in the book will leave a reader in disbelief such as this excerpt from Page 9:
"Arabs living in the West expressed similar "comprehension" of the attacks and motives of the attackers. In the Washington D.C. suburb of Fairfax, Virginia, public school officials ordered high school students to return home by noontime on the day of the attacks. "They closed the schools not out of fear of a terrorist attack, but because Muslim students were shouting for joy" said David Keene".
One would not even know where to begin to confute his testament that this sort of bigotry is still very much alive currently. If you deny that the essence of this book is entirely fiction, ask Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yourself.

I have found this book interesting and it has opened my eyes to some new things. I would not be surprised if much of it was true. The thing that I object to is that every story has two sides to it. I have known Arabs that were good people and I do not believe that Islam is evil per say. They were the civilized people when we Europeans were barbarians in the dark ages and did not know how to read or do math or that we should take a bath. We owe some thanks to the light the Arabs kept alive that contributed to kindling the renaissance and bring a new age of learning into the world. I am a Christian and believe that "Jesus is the way, the truth and the life" but I am aware that the Christian religion has a dark side to its history also. There have been and still are people who think they understand it and want to enforce it with the "sword". I love being an American and am grateful for the goodness and freedoms that are found in our country, though I know that we have a dark side to our history also with such things as slavery and our dealings with Native Americans and the many broken and unfulfilled treaties we made with them. I am also aware that the state of Israel has done things in there history that was not right. I don't know if we can ever learn to live together as a world community, but I do not believe that hating and distrusting all Arabs will help much. We need to live in the real world and I don't know all the answers, but I think that we ought to look for the good in those we come in contact with on an individual bases and try and build on that. There is too much of self-righteousness and hate and misinformation spread on all side. I found this book to be a bit one sided.
