And Dhimmitude For All by Alyssa A. Lappen

And Dhimmitude For All by Alyssa A. Lappen

While the West continues to define "radical" Islam and "moderate" Islam, this disturbing review indicated that Islam has a long history of violence and intolerance with unbelievers. I would feel much more comfortable if more of those who follow "moderate" Islam would be speaking out publicly about tolerance and acceptance of other belief systems - yet they are silent. And, those few who are brave enough to speak out find themselves the target of fatwa’s demanding their death. Unless there is some sort of reformation within Islam, I see little way to avoid a direct confrontation with Islam itself.
