Book Description

April 6, 2006
The war on terror has become a household subject since the attacks on September 11, 2001. In reality, the jihad against America did not happen overnight. It has been coming for quite some time. The Dunces of Doomsday documents sixteen blunders that resulted in an invigorated radical Islam, terrorism worldwide, and the coming "American Hiroshima." The blunders documented include:
• "The Peanut Farmer and the Ayatollah"—How the worst president in America's history permitted and invigorated the rise of radical Islam
• "The Great Offense Against Islam"—How the invasion of Iraq under President George H. W. Bush and the installation of U.S. military bases between Islam's holy cities of Mecca and Medina sparked the holy war and the plan for the American Hiroshima
• "The Poppy Fields Remain in Bloom"—How the war on terror could have been averted by fire-bombing the poppy fields of Afghanistan
• "The Clinton Follies: From the Mullahs to Monica"—How the Clinton administration, which largely ignored international problems, failed to address the growing threat of Al-Qaeda after the attack on the U.S. embassies, the counterresistance in Somalia, and the attacks on the USS The Sullivans and the USS Cole
• "W Uses the Wrong Word"—How President George W. Bush's message that Islam means "peace" obscured the reality that Islam means "submission" to Allah
The Dunces of Doomsday chronicles the mistakes that have been made and provides a guide for preventing radical Islam and terrorism's dream of carrying out the coming American Hiroshima.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sobering, rigorous and terrifying, September 5, 2006
This review is from: Dunces of Doomsday: 10 Blunders That Gave Rise to Radical Islam, Terrorist Regimes, and the Threat of an American Hiroshima (Hardcover)
I wonder how the clown reviewer who admitted he hasn't read the book (NoTime2ReadEverything) can justify a) bothering us with his uninformed opinion, and b) declaring that Islam is not rooted in the violence that Mohammad taught and personally practiced. Has he read the Qur'an? Based on his "review," certainly not.

This book will shake you up. It's full of vitally important information that every person who cares about the survival of democracy NEEDS to know; not just about the true nature of the Islamic threat, but also about how hubris, ignorance and PC sensitivity in the U.S. and Europe are almost guaranteeing success for enemies of liberty. It draws very clear connective lines from the rise of Islam in Iran, through our alliance and later conflicts with Saddam Hussein, to the rise of al Qaeda and the re-galvanization of Islam against the West.

Of the many, many horrendous, self-defeating mistakes ennumerated in this brisk and very well written book is this: we know that al Qaeda and indeed much of Islam is funded by heroin sales, we know exactly where the poppy fields and refinement facilities are in Afghanistan, and we know that without them, al Qaeda would be crippled, so WHY IN HELL ARE THE POPPY FIELDS STILL THERE? Right under the noses of our forces!

The research here is meticulous if not always perfect. But even when connections are made that seem a bit shaky, they never undermine the veracity of the overall theme -- that Islam has been determined to dominate the West for 1400 years, that this is as true today as it was when Mohammad was alive, and that our failings are playing right into their hands and leading us inevitably to a horrific nuclear disaster.

Remember the Chinese proverb: "may you not live in 'interesting' times?" Unfortunately, that's us. And by interesting, I mean terrifying.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye opener, April 30, 2006
This review is from: Dunces of Doomsday: 10 Blunders That Gave Rise to Radical Islam, Terrorist Regimes, and the Threat of an American Hiroshima (Hardcover)
Browsed through most of this in one sitting while at the book store. It's eye opening. Details the life of Muhhamed (sp?), verses of the Koran that call for the killing of Christians and Jews, and mistakes the U.S. Goverment has made at failing to recognize the threat.

For instance, did you know the majority of Muslims don't decry the use of terror on American citizens?

Or that one of the F.B.I.'s counter-terrorist operatives wouldn't wire tap a suspect because he was a fellow Muslim, because "Muslims don't do that to Muslims." And this guy didn't get in trouble for this; he was promoted!

Read this book and your spirits will sink. In this war on terror, I don't like our odds.

4.0 out of 5 stars sobering, well thought out book, May 22, 2006
This review is from: Dunces of Doomsday: 10 Blunders That Gave Rise to Radical Islam, Terrorist Regimes, and the Threat of an American Hiroshima (Hardcover)
Reviewer: B. Morgan (USA) - See all my reviews

I took this book on vacation with me and found myself spending more time reading than I should have. It is an incredibly piercing work that engages you from the beginning. As the book went on, I was becoming more irritated reading about our lame brained leaders.

This is a good book. It points out a glaring weakness in our foreign policy which appears to be designed for quick fixes and not well thought out actions leading to long term successful solutions.

I thought it was well put together and I loved the Prologue. I wish the author would write a novel in the same manner as the Prologue was written. I am a Paul Williams fan and have read many of his other books, as well.
