MORE PRAISE FOR SHARIA VERSUS FREEDOM

“It would be a source of great joy if some of the reports on the contemporary application of the sharia, Islamic law, Dr. Andrew Bostom describes in this book, are inaccurate. His meticulous documentation of this phenomenon, however, will prove sobering to even staunch optimists—and should be obligatory reading for all who care about Western freedom, and Western understanding of the rule of law.”

—Johannes J.

“Indefatigable Andrew Bostom ventures anew into the field of Islam, in which he is supposedly not a specialist, only to accomplish what devoted and committed lifetime professionals did not. After jihad and anti-Semitism in Islam, which have engendered the international terrorism of the past two decades, Bostom now finds that the issue most urgently provocative to deal with is the challenge that sharia law has been posing to the countries in the West where Muslim minorities have taken asylum, and where their demands have been ever pressing to adopt the sharia on a par with the local legal systems. Everyone understands, perhaps save the Archbishop of Canterbury, what a subversive and destructive effect this might have on the legal traditions of those host societies which have accorded the Muslims shelter out of human compassion, and are now asked pitilessly and arrogantly to forego their own civilization in order to accommodate that of their guest.”

—Raphael Israeli, Professor of Islamic, Middle Eastern, and Chinese Studies Emeritus, and author of Islamikaze: Manifestations of Islamic Martyrology, and Muslim Minorities in Modern States: The Challenge of Assimilation “This is damn powerful stuff and needs to be read by anyone who still believes that a rapprochement with religio-political Islam is possible.

—David Solway, poet, literary critic, and author of The Big Lie: On Terror, Antisemitism, and Identity

“In his new book, Sharia versus Freedom: The Legacy of Islamic Totalitarianism, Andrew Bostom has once again given us an impeccably researched, authoritative study of the impact of Islam on the non-Islamic world. Instead of the misleading assurances of Islam's peaceful nature, Bostom has demonstrated how, from its inception, Islam has used both subversion and conquest to achieve its goal of universal global dominion and the humiliating subordination of those non­Muslims who surrendered to it. This book is indispensable reading for all leaders, both public and private, committed to the survival of Western civilization.”

—Richard Rubenstein, Lawton Distinguished Professor of

Religion Emeritus,

Florida State University, and author of The Cunning of History and Jihad and Genocide

“Andrew Bostom has already edited two highly valuable, extended anthologies on Islam. This new monumental collection of his own essays, Sharia versus Freedom, boldly addresses the most important topic of the twenty-first century and should be widely read, and heeded.”

—Bat Ye'or, author of The Decline of Eastern Christianity under Islam and Eurabia:

The Euro-Arab Axis

“The brave and stalwart Andrew Bostom will change the way you look at our future. Every citizen interested in Western survival should read this book.

—Giulio Meotti, journalist with II Foglio and author of A New Shoah: The Untold Story of Israel's Victims of Terrorism “Beltway elites, pseudoscholars, and mainstream media mavens would have us believe that Islamic doctrine and Islamic terrorism have no correlation.

—Erick Stakelbeck, Host of CBN’s Stakelbeck on Terror and author of The Terrorist Next Door: How the Government Is Deceiving You about the Islamist Threat “In the years since 9/11, while Islamic Studies professors have continued to whitewash the religion of peace, responsible- minded men and women outside of the Islamic Studies racket have taken up the job of truth-telling, publishing a number of substantial, and in some cases encyclopedic, volumes about Islam. One thinks, for example, of Andrew Bostom, a physician and professor of medicine at Brown University, who in the last few years has somehow found the time to produce massive, definitive books about the history of jihad and the legacy of Islamic anti-Semitism.”
