Comments from readers, February 26, 2009
I am listing a few comments from readers ( http://www.islam-watch.org/MA_Khan/Islamic-Jihad-Legacy-of-Forced-Conversion-Imperialism-Slavery.htm ):
1. Prof. Sami Alrabaa (Germany), author of 'Karin in Saudi Arabia':
"I read your book and found it fascinating. It is one of those few books which everybody, Muslims and non-Muslims, must read. It is objective and balanced. For example, when you discuss how moderates interpret Jihad and how radical/militant Muslims interpret it.
"Islamic Jihad" is a comprehensive reference which entails in detail lots of facts about Islam and its prophet, in historical and current times. It is very well documented. All that makes it a must read to all of those who want to understand the driving force behind Jihad and terror."
2. Dr. Mervyn Brendle, James Cook University (Australia):
"I have read some sections and... look forward to reading it in some detail. It appears to be a substantial addition to the vital work underway in expanding our understanding of the history, nature, and danger of the global jihadi movement."
3. Ibn Warraq, author of 'Why I Am Not a Muslim':
"This book, I believe, will be a very important contribution for making a thorough understanding of the rising challenges both Muslim and non-Muslim world faces from Islamic extremists."
4. Nonie Darwish, author of 'Now They Call Me Infidel':
"This is a must read book, very important and eloquently written, that sheds light on the violent imperialist nature of jihad: a main doctrine in Islam that can only be accomplished at the expense of violating human rights of non-Muslims as well as Muslims."
5. Abul Kasem, Critical scholar of Islam:
"This seminal work of Khan is in the league of Andrew Bostom's bestseller, The Legacy of Jihad: Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non Muslims...
Khan's work is very scholarly, persuasive and cogent. The language is simple, easy to understand, and engaging. Once started reading, readers would feel an urge to finish the book. No serious readers of Islam should ignore this book...
This book is also a must read for today's political leaders--both Muslim and non-Muslim--to shake off their apathy towards the mortal danger of ascendant Islamic radicalism."
6. Mohammad Asghar, Critical scholar of Islam:
"The book, "Islamic Jihad: A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism and Slavery", is M. A. Khan's gift to mankind. It is an essential read for all of us, for it depicts the true nature of Islam and the serious threat it poses to the safety and well-being of non-Muslims."
7. Mumin Salih, Syrian-born writer:
"Your book is well researched and scholarly written. Its strength is in its style, rich insight, depth of analysis and the fact that it is well-sourced from Islamic own literature, including the Quran.... Your book is an essential reading for all those who are interested in understanding the menace of jihad."
8. Amar Khan, Pakistani-born writer:
"A must read book, indeed... before start reading it, finish your work, because once you start reading, it will not let you move."

Amazing Book, September 2, 2011
This review is from: Islamic Jihad: A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism, and Slavery (Hardcover)
ALL INDIAN PEOPLE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. M.A. Khan has done a great service not only to India, but to the free world in writing this amazing work. He directly and clearly exposes history of jihad and how it is rooted in Islam itself, the devastating effects of jihad around the world (especially in India), and gives a detailed background of the cost of Islam to art, civilization, academic thought, religious freedom, and humanity as a whole.
It is likely that even educated Indian people who grew up in India don't know the horrors that their ancestors suffered because of Islam. M.A. Khan, through his book, will open the eyes of those very people and expose the lies that the media, apologists, and politically correct elite have forced upon them.
This is a must read. Buy it now and if you have Indian Friends please make them read this eye-opening book.
