From the Inside Flap
While our homeland security efforts are focused on preventing terrorist attacks, another jihadist threat is growing right here in America--in plain sight.
In Stealth Jihad, Islam expert and New York Times bestselling author Robert Spencer blows the whistle on a long-term plot by Islamic jihadists to undermine the United States. This effort aims not to bring America to its knees through attacks with guns or bombs, but to subvert the country from within--by gradually Islamizing America. The ultimate goal, the stealth jihadists themselves declare, is nothing less than the adoption of Islamic law in the United States.Describing the disturbing ease with which stealth jihadists have already become ensconced in the American political and media landscapes, Spencer exposes the full modus operandi of the movement as revealed in a stunning document unveiled in a recent terrorism funding trial. In this unsettling book, he explains:
* Which Islamic fundamentalist organization is behind the stealth jihad
* How stealth jihadists have reinvented themselves as mainstream civil rights activists--despite their many past declarations of Islamic supremacism
* How stealth jihadists played a key role in formulating U.S. government guidelines for the War on Terror
* How insistence on "accommodating" Islamic cultural and religious practices in America is part of a calculated strategy to achieve a dangerous larger agenda
* The effort by stealth jihadists to whitewash the teaching of Islam in schools
* What can be done to defeat the stealth jihad and preserve America's liberty
From the Back Cover
--R. James Woolsey, former director of Central Intelligence
"Stealth Jihad puts a provocative hypothesis to the test of empirical reality with forcefulness and clarity. Many will disagree with this--including our likely next president and vice president--but the burden is now on them to disprove this book."
--John Bolton, former U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations "Robert Spencer has written the definitive book on radical jihadists. It's a brilliant and remarkable analysis and exposé of how Western society has succumbed corruptively to intimidation and appeasement and the demands of radical Islam. This book is a MUST READ for anyone wanting to know the truth about radical Islam's threat to the West and to moderate Muslims."
--Steven Emerson, author of American Jihad: The Terrorists Living among Us "Legions of jihadists are determined to advance the cause of a universally dominant Islam--not just by violence, but by encroaching Islamic law and custom through litigation, political correctness, and exploitation of the West's crisis of confidence. In exposing this agenda, no writer has been more fearless, relentless, and effective than Robert Spencer. In Stealth Jihad he unfolds the comprehensive threat as well as it's ever been done."
--Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review legal affairs editor and bestselling author of Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad "With his signature research, accuracy, and boldness, Robert Spencer has written a pioneering survey of the "stealth jihad" whose ambition and subtlety threaten the continuity of Western civilization."
--Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University "In Stealth Jihad, Robert Spencer has performed an invaluable public service. He has `connected the dots' on the enemy within, the Fifth Column that the Muslim Brotherhood and its foreign enablers have established in America--and other nations of the West--to advance the seditious program they call Sharia. This book should be required reading for every government official--and everyone else committed to the survival of our country in the face of this ominous threat."
--Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy "Robert Spencer's Stealth Jihad proves that radical Muslims try to subvert America, not only by terror attacks but by a whole range of other tactics. Robert Spencer wrote an indispensable document for all people who want to know the truth about jihad and the Islamic strive to take over the West."
--Geert Wilders, member of Dutch parliament and producer of the short film Fitna.

other books is that it is not a history of Islam. Though knowing the history of Islam is important. This book describes in detail exactly what stealth strategies have been and are being employed to deceive us into believing it is simply a matter of respecting religious freedom and multicultural traditions. You read this book and you will see how wrong you are. This is a book that is essential for every true American patriot to read before it is too late.
been and are being employed to take down our country
The best way to describe stealth jihad is to use this quote by Mohamed Akram, an operative of the Muslim Brotherhood, found in the home of a Swiss Muslim terrorism financier when it was raided by the police; the memorandum was dated 1991:
"The process of settlement of Muslims in America is a Civilization-Jihadist Process. This means that members of the Muslim Brotherhood must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands (tricking us to destroy ourselves) and the hands of the believers (Muslims) so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions (so that all other religions and political systems are eradicated)."
The way stealth jihad works is that Muslims immigrate into a country, refuse to assimilate, and slowly, methodically implement their religious/political values - including Sharia (Islamic law) - by continuously making requests and demands for special privileges, accommodations, and other special considerations based on their religious rights as guaranteed by their host country.
In our case, the Muslims are using our own Constitution against us in the full knowledge that when they take over the Constitution will be the first thing they get rid of.
There are already 40 front organizations for the Muslim Brotherhood operating in America; the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) are three of the most notorious. The MSA has chapters on ever college campus in America and Canada.
These front organizations present themselves as being set up to insure the civil rights of Muslims - as if the civil rights of any single religion needs special protection here in the U.S.
Stealth jihad in action: the Muslim Brotherhood, the oldest terrorist organization in the world and the grandaddy of all the others, just founded their own political party - right here in America!!!
"Stealth Jihad" exposes the lies and misinformation about Islam being spread by our government, the news media, Muslims, and Islamic apologists; all true Americans who care about themselves, their families, our culture, our freedoms, and our country should make reading this book one of their top priorities.
Readers of this book would also like "Jenna's Flaw," a novel about the death of God, the crumbling of Western civilization, and what modern Westerners can do to stop it.
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”
― Ayn Rand

Spencer explains that the difference between violent jihad and stealth jihad is simply in method, the ultimate goal remains the same (Islamisation of the US/West, imposition of the barbaric Shari'ah (Islamic law)). Both the advocates of violent and non-violent jihad wish to replace secular democracy and incorporate our societies into a caliphate (Islamic empire - sort of a 7th century Brussels). With these differences in mind, Spencer sets about explaining the process by which the stealth jihad works.
America isn't likely to submit to Islam via terrorism. The smarter jihadists understand this, especially after 9/11. If you take down their building, they take down your country, thus a different method was required. Thus the method is by turning one law, one institution over to a more Islamically compliant way of thinking, at a time. Whether it's Muslim female only days at swimming pools, or applying for jobs which require a certain dress code, only to complain when hijabs are required to be removed, these are all for the purpose of making the West submit more and more to Islamic dictates (even ones not found in the Middle East).
Spencer has obviously done a lot of mole-work, uncovering everything from the people and organisations behind the US policy not to use any vocabulary in its reports which could offend terrorists; to how these Muslim lobbyists attempt to work at a cultural level, linking resistance to their covert jihad to that of the civil rights struggle for blacks; to shari'ah finance and the threat to economic stability; to how Pakistan is at the forefront of the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation) push at the UN to make blasphemy against Islam a crime under international law.
As an example, he starts out by giving a different analysis of an article penned by author of 'The Looming Towers', Lawrence Wright, when he wrote about a so-called moderate, Dr. Fadl, an al Qaeda mastermind who 'questioned' terrorism. While Fadl, and others, make the right noises regarding women's rights etc. elsewhere their statements in Islamic sources reveal a different agenda. And this is the key area of misunderstanding where the US State Department (UK Foreign Office take note) seem to wilfully blind themselves that the Muslim Brotherhood is somehow moderate.
Spencer provides a list of high profile Islamic organisations from trials connected to the Muslim Brotherhood in America. These include Islamic Society of North America (ISNA); the Muslim Students Association (MSA); the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT); the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA); the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP); and of course, the most prominent of them all, CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations.
In light of the so-called Arab Spring, in which the Muslim Brotherhood seems to be taking over every country, this information takes on a much more sinister and troubling meaning. The breif outline of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, and his plan for Egypt, now really puts this all into a terrifying perspective (this is Jimmy Carter's Iranian revolution 2.0).
The Stealth Jihad plan, States side, includes establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood. Adopting Muslims' causes both domestically and globally. Expanding the observant Muslim base. Unifying and directing Muslims' efforts. Presenting Islam as a civilisation alternative. Supporting the establishment of the global Islamic State. As we can see, just a few short years down the road since the publication of this book, are progressing quite smoothly.
Stealth Jihad is a great first book on the topic, but if I had one criticism, it's that the book is a little too easy. Having read Spencer's other book about Islam and the Crusades , I felt this dealt with the material professionally, and in a convincing manner, but there's virtually nothing from Islamic holy texts or teachings here, no key concepts such as taqiyya (religious deception), which is unusual for a Robert Spencer book. As such, it's a nice, un-muddled prosecution of the extremists, but also a sad indictment not only of our media, but government and intelligence apparatus as well.
With the mass of disinformation out there about Islam (also covered), it's pretty much impossible to get the proper facts from the media. In countries not on the media's radar, where reporting can't easily be brought to us (such as Lebanon, Mali or Nigeria), this covert jihad is far further down the road, with the 'stealthy' part of the jihad having served its usefulness, and the various governments are powerless to stop the more violent jihad from progressing, due to having wormed their way into their armies, governments etc. Spencer doesn't report on that, and again this is a shame as it further reinforces his case here. Coupled with more recent books about how Islamic countries are waging economic warfare on us, Spencer's book makes for an even stronger case. In Britain, with an all powerful left wing media and political correctness rampant, things work slightly differently. But Spencer's book is still very relevant to the British/European anti-jihad experience.
