Summary: An excellent book! A real eye opener!
Comment: This book is an enlightening look into the world of Extreme Islam as it exists right here in America. Reviewer Ford needs to read the book! In it, when asked by a television reporter, Mr. Emerson clearly makes a distinction that Islamist Militant Extremists "might" be responsible for the Oklahoma bombing. This was the thought of many people at the time especially since the bombing on February 26,1993 in which Islamist Militants tried to destroy the World Trade Center. The point being Mr. Emerson has never made the assertion they were 100% responsible for the Oklahoma bombing and I would challenge the reveiwer to provide proof otherwise.
This book gives the reader enough knowledge to know that the threat is far more serious that once thought. This book is riddled with facts that can't be denied. It does not in anyway represent an attack on the "good people" of Islam. I believe the reveiwer from San Jose never read the book! The book only addresses and exposes those Islamist Militant Extremists and those who support them.

Summary: Thoughtful Look at Islamic Fascism's American Roots
Comment: Steve Emerson's "American Jihad" is a thoughtful, excellent overview of Islamic fascism (militant Islam) and its American roots, brilliantly showing how American support aided and abetted terrorists ranging from Hamas to Al Qaeda. Emerson notes that Islam - as practiced by most of its believers - is a far more tranquil faith than the one espoused by fundamentalist Islamic militants, of which Hamas and Al Qaeda are among their most deadly, virulent strains. He also portrays courageous battles being waged by moderate Islamic scholars and religious leaders against militant Islam, especially here in the United States (Unfortunately while few in number, Islamic extremists have exerted substantial influence over American mosques, setting both their political and religious agenda.). Emerson depicts how Islamic fascists have successfully raised money here in the United States, from such unlikely outposts as Islamic cultural centers in Tucson, AZ and Islamic conventions held in the Midwest. In an appendix at the end of the book, Emerson provides an excellent thumbnail historical overview on the rise of militant Islam, which is a splendid coda to the rest. Without question, "American Jihad" should be regarded as required reading for many interested in understanding the rapid rise of militant Islam and its strong financial and cultural ties to the "Great Satan", the United States.

Summary: Self-serving book
Comment: American Jihad at the surface seems like a very detailed analysis that presents contrarian views about Islam and Muslims.
Unfortunately there is nothing obejective in this book from start to finish.
De-contextualizing any faith no matter which one it is and going at it with a vegence cannot produce a good literary work, let alone something that can benefit the reader.
Creating fear and suspicion is a cruel way to amke money by selling services and books, yet that is what Mr. Emerson is doing.
I am a Muslim, I do know a little bit about my faith, I know Muslims, including some of the people that the author has picked on. There are so many fronts that are opened that it needs volumes to discuss each one.
It's pretty simple to me. If you want to know about Islam and Muslims, there are plenty of good practicing Muslims, get to know them and judge for your self. Visit a mosque and find out what Muslims are up to.
Do Muslims have issues, absolutely! But a book like this can only breed suspicion and hatred. Don't we have enough of that going around?
Islam and Muslims have much to offer America. It's a time of discovery and really getting to know each other.
There are plenty of objective books, by Non-Muslims as well as Muslims, take a read of them.
Open hearts and open minds.
