"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.

If you were to invest in one book about Islam...this is the one. I started researching about the Muslim belief system in earnest since 911. I have read books and viewed media and have come to the knowledge that Islam is a religion that will not be satisfied until it has world dominance. This book tells the whole truth about Islam. It comes from the perspective of Peter Hammond, a white African, who has lived among the oppression of the Islamic belief system. He himself has been imprisoned and threatened with his life for his speaking out of this truth through 'Frontline Fellowship' the name of his agency. This book explains the history of what was actually the first crusade, the brutality of the slave trade with interesting facts about America's involvement. It describes in great detail about the types of terrorism used to force people into the Islamic belief system. It tells of the destruction of whole countries and peoples once Islam has gained the seat of power in government. My only complaint is that when I wanted to buy more copies of this book from Amazon there was only one used copy for $460!?!? I then went to Frontline Fellowship's website and found they have brand new editions of this book for $10 a piece!!...Amazon, what's up with that?

I often see black people professing Islam as them religion of choice. They might think again if they read this book. It relates how historically the blacks were ravaged, killed sold into slavery by the millions by Islamic raiders in Africa. This book was certainly an eye-opener.

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.

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.

I have not read the book yet, but noticed how people are having trouble finding it at a decent price. Amazon.com is now selling the revised, expanded edition of this book. It's called "Slavery, Terrorism & Islam - Revised & Expanded Edition." It only costs $10.00, if I remember correctly. Please buy an extra one or two and give them to others.

This book is very informative and has brought much to light for me. However, i was charged $33.94 for a $15.00 paperback, that I received from naturalenergyworks.net. When I saw the amount I was charged I assumed I would be receiving a hardcover textbook. I have submitted an e-mail to naturalenergyworks.net, and am awaiting a reply. It's been about a week now, and I still have not received an answer.

Why so expensive? I wonder how much the hardback edition costs.

I would buy this book if it were priced like any other similar work.

Perhaps it's a textbook, and therefore the price is jacked up because most students are rich.
