Does America face a jihadist threat that's even bigger than terrorism?
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
Robert Spencer is the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of eight books on Islam and jihad. Spencer is a weekly columnist for Human Events and the website Front-Page Magazine, and has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the U.S. intelligence community.

June 25, 2009: When I first picked up Stealth Jihad, I was somewhat skeptical. I had for years followed Robert Spencer's website, JihadWatch.org, yet had not always agreed with his fundamental beliefs in regard to Islam. However, although I still am not certain that Islam is primarily a violent religion as Spencer insists, his exhaustive research in Stealth Jihad illuminates the agendas of those who wish to implement Sharia in America. He exposes the connections between numerous major "moderate" Islamic organizations within America, including CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations, the Muslim Brotherhood, and ISNA (Islamic Society of North Amerca). And shows how each of them has also demonstrated that they are not moderate, as they proclaim themselves to be, but are actually radical.
Stealth Jihad is a thoroughly researched and provocative book that should not be missed for anyone interested in maintaining America's integrity.I Also Recommend: Because They Hate, Hungry for Truth, The Dhimmi, Crossing the Rubicon, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades).
