Facing Muslim Hate
(New York Post) Neil J. Kressel - In 1982, terrorists held reporter Ken Timmerman hostage for 24 days in an underground cell in Lebanon. Now, in Preachers of Hate, he offers a guide to the wave of anti-Americanism and Jew-bashing that has swept across the Arab and Muslim world - and to a lesser extent, through Europe. Timmerman documents a civilization in deep trouble, where politicians, clergymen, academics, and common citizens seem gripped by a venomous and self-destructive hatred. The favored target, of course, is Jews. But Americans are next in line. As Timmerman notes, "What begins with the Jews doesn't end with the Jews." The mindset that leads to Jew-hatred leads equally to a rejection of Western civilization.
