Since the World Trade Center attacks in New York on September
11, 2001, Europe has been plagued by Islamist attacks that have
taken many lives and disrupted many services. Considerable
attention has been paid to radical Islamist attacks on the United
Kingdom, France, and Germany, but far less focus has been on the
Islamist extremist impact on the rest of Europe. This book warns
all Europeans, but Middle Easterners as well, that they are not
immune to terror. That terror is confined to Jews and Israel is a
myth. Muslim extremist attacks have taken place against other
Muslim nations--as well as European nations in which Jewish
influence or Israeli support is negligible. The waves of Muslim
recrimination against the West have given rise to internal
struggles within the Arab world played out in terrorist acts.
Muslim brotherhoods have defined a global war against other
religions, nations, and cultures that stray from the principles of
fundamentalism--a cultural and military "jihad." Just where
religious identity supervenes national identity has become a
critical turning point. Israeli's book shows that the line between
moderates and extremists within the Islamic fold is vague,
ambiguous, and in certain situations non-existent. It draws
attention to polls and public sentiments of the Islamic faithful,
and emphasizes the Islamic attack on modernization and its cultural
sources.
This timely volume is addressed to those in the West who are
not accustomed to thinking in apocalyptic terms. Israeli provides
painstaking details of European responses to Islamist challenges,
particularly those who prefer pragmatic compliance rather than
response. He demonstrates that Islamic extremism continues to grow
in the heartland of the European world. This is neither an
optimistic nor pessimistic book; its disturbing message may be a
wake-up call to some. It is a necessary read for those who want to
go beyond news, opting for a more intellectual and comprehensive
diet.
