"Here is a window inside the Jihad... presented here in its bare face without a distorting commentary.”—Jeremy Glover, Headpress
"(C)ontains essays and fascinating images that will render you serious, humbled and even a bit sympathetic... Extreme Islam's deranged carnival succeeds in shocking most when the ‘extremists’ themselves are lucid, poignant and poetic."—R.U. Sirius, LA Weekly
Synopsis
Extreme Islam explores the fundamentalist current, whose strict interpretations of the Holy Qur'an has led it to declare war against secular nations, and even members of its own religion whose lenient ideas are considered apostate, a sin punishable by death. Explosive as the views it presents, Extreme Islam cuts to the chase, and allows the major voices of Islamic militancy to speak for themselves. A wide spectrum of interviews, essays, political cartoons, posters, poems and stories are collected together to confront the reader with important and rarely seen perspectives of a movement that opposes almost everything considered holy by America and Western civilization.
Synopsis
Documentation from the self-proclaimed enemies of the West.
