The 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, the various ISESCO strategy papers, and the regularly adopted OIC action programs leave no doubt about the intentions of Islamic states and organizations worldwide. Hardly any political leader in the West has any significant knowledge of Islamic teachings and Islamic organizations are doing everything they can to ensure that this remains the case. In contrast, Elaine Ellinger's book offers a clear and well-documented account of the doctrine and the current reality. I consider A Civilizational Reckoning required reading. __________________________________ Dr. Bernhard Zimburg, Ambassador (Ret'd) Former Austrian Ambassador in three Islamic countries Going... Going... Before Western Civilization is gone a new Great Awakening is desperately needed. Most are in the sleep of delusion and fantasy about the real nature of Islam which is much more than a religion To wake up, read A Civilizational Reckoning and recommend it to political, religious, and cultural leaders (and others) now. __________________________________ Alan Altany, Ph.D. Professor of comparative religions
