Large Roadblocks on the Islamist Path to Democracy
April 30, 2012By: Robert R. Reilly
Wall Street Journal LETTERS 4/30/12
In “The Islamist Road to Democracy” (WSJ op-ed, April 23), Reuel Marc Gerecht advises against “nostalgia and depression” in regard to what may seem unfavorable changes in the Middle East, but then falls prey to wishful thinking himself. His misplaced optimism concerning the development of Islamist democracy seems to be based on misconceptions about the history of the West. Read More

Why the West is Best: A Muslim Apostate’s Defense of Liberal Democracy
Ibn Warraq
We, in the West in general, and the United Statesin particular, have witnessed over the last twenty years a slow erosion of our civilizational self-confidence. Under the influence of intellectuals and academics in Western universities, intellectuals such as Gore Vidal, Susan Sontag, Edward Said, and Noam Chomsky, and destructive intellectual fashions such as post-modernism, moral relativism, and mulitculturalism, the West has lost all self-confidence in its own values, and seems incapable and unwilling to defend those values. By contrast, resurgent Islam, in all its forms, is supremely confident, and is able to exploit the West’s moral weakness and cultural confusion to demand ever more concessions from her. The growing political and demographic power of Muslim communities in the West, aided and abetted by Western apologists of Islam, not to mention a compliant, pro-Islamic USAdministration, has resulted in an ever-increasing demand for the implementation of Islamic law-the Sharia- into the fabric of Western law, and Western constitutions. There is an urgent need to examine why the Sharia is totally incompatible with Human Rights and the US Constitution. This book , the first of its kind, proposes to examine the Sharia and its potential and actual threat to democratic principles.
This book defines and defends Western values, strengths and freedoms often taken for granted. This book also tackles the taboo subjects of racism in Asian culture, Arab slavery, and Islamic Imperialism. It begins with a homage to New York City, as a metaphor for all we hold dear in Western culture- pluralism, individualism, freedom of expression and thought, the complete freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness unhampered by totalitarian regimes, and theocratic doctrines.
Faith, Power and Territory: A Handbook of British Islam
Patrick Sookhdeo
Islam is a religion that seeks to be a political and territorial power. This book has been written to provide an easy-to-use resource to understand Islam inBritaintoday, the way in which it is developing, its influence on the country and whether assimilation is possible. It asks penetrating questions about the way that Muslim communities in theUKcould develop in the future, and how British authorities and institutions appear to be yielding to a process of Islamisation.
Freedom to Believe
Patrick Sookhdeo
“Islam is a one-way street. Non-Muslims can convert to Islam, but freedom to convert from Islam is denied to Muslims. All schools of Islamic Law specify the death penalty for an adult male Muslim who chooses to leave Islam. The law can also impose other penalties on apostates. Change is only possible if the apostasy law is repealed. This book focuses on:
- the Muslim teaching on apostasy from Islamic sources
- the debate amongst Muslims about the apostasy law
- the treatment of converts from Islam
