5.0 out of 5 stars An Insight to Islam's Slave Trade, August 16, 2008

By	William Gawthrop (APO, AE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Slavery, Terrorism, and Islam" is now in its second edition.
Although written from a Christian Missionary perspective, the text is useful for secular analysts researching a civilizational force on the march.

Unlike the academics who debate whether a clash of civilizations is even in progress, Hammond, writes from the perspective of one decisively engaged in that civilizational fight.

His area of emphasis is Africa, Nigeria and the Sudan. He starts with the strategic perspective (Islam as a doctrine) and drills down to specifics: Islam's hostilities with the non-Islamic world in general and Christianity in particular. He specifically addresses jihad, women's issues, slavery, and the strategies and techniques of modern day Islamic expansion. Significantly, although this text is written from a religious (Christian) perspective, there is abundant material for secular researchers dissecting an aggressive ideology.

Hammond, who is located in Africa, brings a remarkably fresh perspective on the issue of Slavery. At a time when Slavery is assessed as an American birth defect with the finger of political correctness pointing at Washington as a slave owner, Hammond reminds us that Muhammad, the founding father of Islam, was a slave owner, and that under Islamic stewardship, slavery became a highly developed, civilizational-level, industry that, over 14 centuries, drained Africa of an estimated 140 million people. Islam was the procurement and trafficking institution for 15th Century Spain, 16th Century Portugal, 17th Century England, and 18th Century American slavery and was a self-producing consumer of slavery throughout the Islamic world into the 21st century. Hammond reminds us that slavery was formally abolished in Saudi Arabia only in 1962 and yet continues in the 21st century (See "Slave: My True Story", by Mende Nazer describing her 1992 capture and 2002 escape).

Slavery, Terrorism and Islam is a slim volume that is an invaluable desk reference and primer for analysts addressing Islam as an ideological force. The contents of Hammond's second edition is described below.

4.0 out of 5 stars Frightingly factual, January 8, 2006

By	Virginia Snape "The more corrupt a society, t... - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book to be most informative. The data collected is well documented throughout. Dr Peter Hammond walks the walk and is heavily involved in reaching the unsaved muslims in the most remote places, so his hands on knowledge and love for the unsaved is unprecendented.

The book carries a lot of historical weight about the start of the Islamic religion and its propagation throughtout the world. The book also has a glossary of terms and maps which those new to the religion would find useful.

The only reason I am giving in four stars and not five is because of some editorial mistakes (but I did get one of the earliest copies).

But I will undoubtedly use this book as a reference tool in further research.

5.0 out of 5 stars http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0958454981/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title, July 11, 2009

By	William R. Bailey "Billy Bitumen" (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Allows one to see the salvery issue in a whole different light.
80% of the slaves went to the Middle East and the EU. 15% to the Caribean and only 5% if slaves ended up in the USA....Facinating.
