Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Legacy of Jihad reveals how, for well over a millennium, across three continents--Asia, Africa, and Europe--non-Muslims who were vanquished by jihad wars, became forced tributaries (called dhimmi in Arabic), in lieu of being slain. Under the dhimmi religious caste system, non-Muslims were subjected to legal and financial oppression, as well as social isolation. Extensive primary and secondary source materials, many translated here for the very first time into English, are presented, making clear that jihad conquests were brutal, imperialist advances, which spurred waves of Muslims to expropriate a vast expanse of lands and subdue millions of indigenous peoples. Finally, the book examines how jihad war, as a permanent and uniquely Islamic institution, ultimately regulates the relations of Muslims with non-Muslims to this day.
Scholars, educators, and interested lay readers will find this collection an invaluable resource.

Big deal.. Ibn Warraq releases another anti-Islam book. He is not a scholar of any sorts and his viewpoints are not analyzed academically, which is why I think it resonates well with those who are ignorant on the issue.
I have read his work before and think that, if you want to Islam-bash, he'll be more than glad to take your money and offer you the work of a third-class hack.

This book correctly points out the obvious truth about militant Islam. Islamic extremists are nothing more than brainwashed swine blindly following the alleged writings of the phony known as Mohammed. They do not want peace and there will never be relative peace until the extremists are reduced to small enough numbers to allow the rest of the world to live in relative peace and safety.

"Execution of a Moroccan Jewess" is a recreation of the actual public execution, in Tangier in the 1830s, of 17-year-old Sol Hachuel, who was falsely accused of converting to, and then renouncing, Islam. In an introductory note on the painting and on the heartbreaking tale, Bostom asserts that Sol's cruel fate was shared by countless Jews over more than a dozen centuries, wherever Muslims ruled.
The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism calls to mind the work of Bat Yeor, who over the past 20 years has practically single-handedly forced recognition of the oppression inherent in what she calls dhimmitude - the institution of inferiority, humiliation and obedience that Muslims demand of non-Muslims under their control.

The book basically is formation of what west want to see and be happy about it. There is no difference than the author of the book and the Denmark cartoonist who is making jokes about Islam.
Unfortunately west perspective is to see , read , write and act on the things they feel comfortable with. Nothing more or nothing less. A crapy book.

Some people hate this book, some love it. I like it alot and here is why: it explains the Jiahd as explained by the traditions of Islam, using it's own stated rules and texts. It presents the writtings to the reader of the Qur'an and Haddith and explains why and how the Jihadists of old and new do what they do and how they justify it. Unlike the apologetics on TV this isnt a smokescreen, it uses the actual sources as refferences and it is current up to the present. Not only does the author use the source materials ranging as far back as the birth of Islam, but it sues speeches from today's exponents in the lands of Dar Al Islam. if you are interested in knowing where the Jiahd comes from then this is necessary reading. This should be on the news given todays climate as it sheds alot of lioght on a for some reason taboo subject.
