Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Because a significant number of Muslims apparently misunderstand that Islam is a “Religion of Peace” and thus are willing, even eager to visit violence and death upon anyone who presents an interpretation of Islam or the Prophet Muhammad—Peace be upon Him—not to their liking, including hundreds of thousands of fellow Muslims murdered by Muslims in the last century, the author of Hand of the Prophet has chosen to keep a low profile to protect his large family and secret location in the mountains. Or wherever.

Format: Paperback
This short novel is riveting. It takes place in 2053, but the recent beheading of a British soldier, and the attempt to do the same to a French soldier by Muslims shouting "Allahu Akbar," warns us that the future of 2053 has already arrived. The story is graphic, and will not pass Politically Correct censors as bedtime reading for children. But then, under PC thinking, the historical facts of Islam's past and present atrocities in Europe and the Middle East are not bedtime reading for kids either. Or is it? Perhaps it is high time to tell our children -- and each other -- what the imposition of Shariah Law would mean, and what daily life under the rule of Muslims means to anyone who does not subscribe to their beliefs. And the practice of their beliefs is horrible indeed. Set in a simple farmland community, the story clearly describes what it is to be an infidel -- a Christian or Jew or even an atheist -- living under Islamic rulers who are as cruel, fanatical, cynical, and corrupt as those in Islamic countries today. Beware. The subjugation and sexual abuse of women, the institution of slavery, and the barbarous punishments mandated by the Koran, are all shown in this book in detail. What particularly struck me was the description of how members of a modern American farming community could be reduced to a crude medieval life by the institution of Islamic teachings. It shows Americans in the sad state of Muslim peasants everywhere: sunk in mud, blood and horror for the benefit and luxury of their Islamic rulers. Read this book. It will not take long unless you stop too often to catch your breath when you read about what Islam, "the religion of peace," truly means. You will find yourself cheering for the few who resist.

Format: Paperback
Roll the timeline back by about 200 years and this could very well be our future.

I thought this was a well-written story that does a good job of portraying the Islamic obsession with sex and punishment. It also paints a larger picture of the degradation of progress under theocracy. Some of the more brutal images were disturbing, but then I remembered that this is exactly how the early Muslim community is presented by its historians. Devoted Muslims pattern themselves on the life of the prophet - and this is what the spoils of war look like.
