The reviewer who stated that Holy War is the dryest and most poorly written book he has read in a long time, is wrong. His assertion that Kushner "throws around so many arabic names that you have no idea who he is talking about from one parapgraph to the next" is untrue. In fact, Holy War is the first book to cut through the impossible to follow Arabic names and acronyms and leave the reader with a clear understanding of the links between Islamic groups and individuals. From universites to charities to mosques, Kushner documents and demonstrates each of his presented statements and relationships in detail.
He does this without unnecessary emotional outbursts, identifying Islamic fanatical groups and/or the individuals who give larger groups bad name. He targets problematic faulty political systems and the way they are exploited. His documentation presented is strong.
There are other books presenting this information, on a secret Islamic terror network operating inside the United States. This book is not an action novel, so don't expect it to be exciting. It is educational, so it's filled with knowledge and information. But for a book of it's kind, it is very interesting, and surprising unputdownable. (And a quick read, considering 1/3 is footnotes and documentation). I will admit that there are other books on the subject, some are better written, but not as well documented. Many are much worse and without any documentation at all.
The problem is that we afraid to say that we are at war with Militant Islam. Why? Well, I agree with Kushner when he writes, "The only explanation as to why we continue to ignore the secret Islamic terror network in America is that the demands of political correctness have made us so afraid of being branded racists that we force ourselves to be color blind, identity blind, and gender blind till we end up, quite simply, totally blind."
