Publisher's Summary

As seen on NRATV! 

While the United States, and indeed most of the Western world, fights an active war against Islamic terrorism, we remain in deep denial about who truly is the enemy. Elites across North America and Europe fight to silence those who argue, compellingly, that the roots of terrorism are within Islam itself, which has evolved into far more than a religion - it is a radical and dangerous political ideology that consciously, if often tacitly, places itself in opposition to democracy and basic human rights.

Robert Spencer, one of the world’s foremost critical scholars of Islam, has been labeled public enemy number one by those who apologize for Islam and its violent excesses. He has been called a propagandist, a racist, and an “Islamophobe” - a term that he willingly embraces in this provocative and important book.

There needs to be a thoroughgoing and honest public discussion of the acceptable parameters of criticism of Islam in light of genuine interests not only of national security but of civilizational survival. Our lives, quite literally, could depend on it, as could those of our children and our children’s children. Confessions of an Islamophobe is an attempt to begin that discussion.

Robert’s words should be read by Robert

Why is Audible hiring actors to read the words of people who are alive and much better at reading their own words? The book is terrific.

Great listen if your interested in protecting your personal freedoms

Great book I enjoyed the hell out of it and recommend it to someone interested in learning about the collapse of western society by the infiltration of Islam into our daily lives

Into A Headwind

I applaud your works for being grounded by facts and historical incidents and the words of others that make your points true. Sad that civil enlightened discussion can't occur despite the obvious 600 pound gorilla sitting in the room. I am tired of the deflection and avoidance of answers to legitimate questions about the radicalization of so many adherents to " false teachings" only to shift the onus to non Muslims to become more educated or conversant on the "true" teachings of that faith, with assertions that peaceful aspects somehow cancel the violent and repressive tenants automatically. How can that selective dismissal of "Gods" directions as reflected in the teachings be possible? It is because of denial and and lying to infedels is ok. You may be right that you will be on the wrong side of history, but you won't be alone. History will run its course to the peril of many with their head in the sand. I think the author should encapsulate in many formats and languages, his works and predictive warnings into a secure place to be found and compared to world events and life 50 or 100 or 200 or 1,000 years from now. A sort of time capsule that will survive a purge of anti radical non- conforming politically correct thought and material that is likely to come also.

Interesting book with an odd reader.

This is an interesting book with an odd reader. What makes it interesting to me is that the book proves that society is crazy. People don’t use fact based reasoning to make a decision about this subject. I understand that we’re all imperfect however when you deal with a subject as serious as this. Logic should prevail. Unfortunately it does not.

Incisive and compelling

Although frequently characterized as such, Spencer is neither a bigot nor a hater. Rather it is those who would stifle free speech, particularly on our college campuses that seem to be filled with hate.

The book deserves a better reader. Mr
Michael's tone is ponderous and heavy and almost comically, he mispronounces words like excoriate.

Good and true but redundant

If you have read or listened to his other books, you will likely not learn much from this one. There are some novel ideas discussed in this one that I have not heard before, but I prefer his books that focus strictly on The facts about Islam rather than the constant cultural bickering we all see too much of anyway. All that said, Spencer continues to deliver well supported and reasoned arguments without a hint of hatred or malice.

Speaking plain truth is a risky game......

There is an element of Goldsteinism to this book. what he says is jeered and screamed at. Yet what does this heretic say? You probably wont have heard anything first hand, before.
You'll have heard The Guardian, or Vox (Ezra Klein) denounce him as "an islamaphobe".

But there is fact in this book. A lot of truth. Some establishments just dont want you to hear it.

Fantastic book. Dreadful robotic narration

I loved this book, bit I struggled with it as the robot-like narrator was difficult to listen to.

interesting stories , but old hat

Being an avid reader of all things critical of Islam, I found a lot of the content of this book old hat. A lot of interesting new stories and accounts of the idiocy of so called Islamaphobia; but the general theme got s bit repetitious for me, such that I found it very easy to turn off while listening. Totally agree with his conclusions and angle; Islamaphobia is ridiculous; but it got tiresome after a while. I didn't like the narrator; unnecessarily melodramatic; felt like I was listening to an FM radio ad most of the time. A more natural voice would have made it more bearable. Still if you're new to this material; namely the myth that Islam is compatible with Western society; I highly recommend it. Islam threatens the continued existence of Western society; and it's propagation and those who apologise for it; must be stopped. Read it if you're new to it; because that part is loud and clear.
