Two excellent books

These books are highly recommended:

"Londonistan" by Melanie Phillips (Daily Mail columnist)
www.melaniephillips.com

and

"Celsius 7/7" by Michael Gove (Conservative MP)

Both books describe in detail the rise of Islam in the west, the crass stupidity of our political leaders, in failing to recognise the Islamist threat, and componding the problem by a lack of robust and intelligent handling of this danger.

Through a lack of a proper understanding, the Islamist threat has grown at every stage.

Whilst I do not agree with every single statement in these two books, nevertheless, they are both very well researched, and contain many important truths.

It would seem that both authors are a little reluctant to point the finger of blame at Islam itself, as I have done on this blog. However, we cannot blame them for some reticence. Nobody wishes to have a fatwah against them, as did Salman Rushdie. He had to go into hiding for many years, following the publication of his book, the "Satanic Verses".

Humanity needs peace not Islam.
