Book Review: The Islamist

July 29th 2007 | Posted by Florian Bay

I recently completed the reading of Ed Husain’s book, the Islamist. With the recent events in Glasgow and London, terrorism is once again back in the news and as usual talks of ‘prevention’, ‘moderate Islam’ and the like were heard all over the medias.

The book written by a former Islamist, provide a concise yet clear and impassionate picture of what is happening in Britain’s mosques, Islamic societies and even in whole areas of our cities.

The methods used by Islamists groups, involving deception, an abusive use of the ‘moderate Muslims’ etiquette, the appropriations of issues like Palestine, Irak or Bosnia as legitimates causes for jihad, are described in detail. Following the journey of the writer, whose discovery of ‘written Islam’ starts with a book written by a ‘moderate scholar’, in fact a member of numerous organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and whose books are still used as teaching materials or children; which then gradually becomes a fully committed Islamist. Everybody who has dealt with Muslims associations controlled by such groups will recognise their tactics, of aggressive heckling, the use of propaganda on the lines of ‘Palestine today, Britain tomorrow’ and the use of ‘doctrinal destruction’ against any group perceived as ‘not enough Muslim’ (read too moderate). Their use of our own laws on freedom of speech against us, linking any refusal to racism and their own links with far left parties such as RESPECT are exposed in daylight.

Peaceful, I Doubt It!

As you have probably already seen, the major headline on the newspapers today is about an “Iraqi style” plot concerning the capture and the execution of a Muslim soldier in Birmingham. Such news must not be underrated as some of us have probably seen the videos on the web of the execution of Nepalese and Americans workers by Muslims extremist groups in Iraq, but now the same thing seems to be happening here in Britain!

Saying that I agree with David Cameron’s comments that extremists being fascists is nothing but true, and one must not forget that during the Second World War both Mussolini and Hitler had links with radical Muslims organizations and an Islamic SS division was also formed in Bosnia and in North Africa. Yet most left wing associations or media would still claim that “this is a religion of peace.” There is no doubt that some parts of the Islamic religion are peaceful but historical facts prove that the expansion of this religion was not always peaceful; plus Muhammad the “peaceful man” died with numerous war like objects such as swords, spears and shields. At present, according to a recent poll, at least 37% of youth British Muslims would support Sharia law being applied and 13% of them openly supports Al Quaïda aims; thus it is not impressive to see Iraqi style executions and torture being considered here by some as a mean to “purge the traitors“.
