Savvy Kafir - The Savvy Kafirs Intro to Islam: A Primer for Puzzled Progressives

In recent years, one particular religion has begun making headlines around the world on pretty much a daily basis, as its devotees become more & more uppity, strident, and intrusive -- putting their Seventh Century ideology into practice via terrorist attacks, jihadi insurgencies, riots, honor killings, acid attacks, gang rapes, stonings, beheadings, crucifixions, immolations, and a host of other unsavory behaviors. Meanwhile, many stealth jihadis are emigrating to Western countries, where they refuse to assimilate, and demand more & more outrageous concessions, requiring those more humane cultures to adapt to the medieval standards of Islam. These trends have rapidly accelerated during the second half of 2014 and throughout 2015, as True Believers around the globe have become bolder & more aggressive -- more open in their hatred for Western societies, their disdain for liberal ideals, and their predilection for madness & mayhem at the expense of everyone around them.

The Savvy Kafirs Intro to Islam provides a candid, unflinching look at the religion that keeps making the news, around the world, day after day. This book attempts to shed some light on just why Islam keeps making the news, and why that news is never pretty.

This clamorous little text is meant to serve as a wake-up call for my dozy fellow progressives, who seem unaware that we're now engaged in a global war of ideas that's much bigger & more threatening than PC politicians or the mainstream media would have you believe. A war between radically divergent worldviews that, ultimately, one side will clearly win and the other will unmistakably lose.

Intro to Islam was written for free-thinking Lefties in the U.S., Europe, and around the world -- for progressive-minded people who are able to step away from the liberal herd, reject groupthink, and examine important issues in a spirit of free inquiry, following the evidence wherever it takes them. I really hope youre out there!

If youre one of those bold, independent progressives the world so desperately needs, I hope youll answer this call to arms -- a call to defend our more enlightened culture from a barbaric, Iron Age ideology that is implacably hostile to free societies and progressive principles.

Slipping Past the Gatekeepers

Because of the much-needed candor this book brings to the subject of Islam, it comes to you the only way it can (for now, at least) -- via the magic of the World Wide Web. As the global threat posed by Islam becomes more & more obvious, perhaps some bold publisher will step forward to take on this controversial project, to give it a wider audience & bring it more into the mainstream. But the danger of violent reaction from disciples of the Religion of Peace, along with the debilitating political correctness that currently paralyzes the Western world, make it difficult to get a book as honest & straightforward as this one past the gatekeepers of the mainstream media, those guardians of tender public sensibilities.

(This simple fact -- that Islam is the ONLY ideology that cannot be criticized or ridiculed without the risk of violent repercussions -- really says something about the carefully & energetically maintained myth of a peaceful, tolerant religion.)

But the Internet changes everything! When its not being used for purveying porn or reporting celebrity gossip, the World Wide Web is a powerful, game-changing tool that allows us to slip right past the gatekeepers -- bringing ideas & information directly to the people at the speed of jittery electrons. Thanks to the efforts of some clever, forward-thinking eggheads ( God bless them, every one! ), politically incorrect books such as this one can now come to life in digital format, making them available to anyone with a desktop, laptop, tablet or smart phone, anywhere in the world, from Texarkana to Timbuktu ... as long as they dont live in some repressive Islamic hell-hole like Timbuktu.

The importance of this advance cannot be overstated, which is why I take every opportunity to crow about it. The Internet is for the 21 st Century what the printing press was in the 15 th -- a giant leap forward in mankinds ability to disseminate knowledge, promote new ideas, and eliminate bad ones via free discussion & open criticism in public venues.

Quick & Dirty

This eBook was created with a real sense of urgency, due to recent events around the world, brought to us courtesy of Islam. It partially consists of material that I began writing several years ago, when I first discovered the disturbing truth about the Muslim religion while doing research for a novel. This project has languished on the back burner for too long now, developed in spurts, whenever I had the time and the counter-jihadi spirit moved me.

One recent development in particular has hastened the publication of this eBook -- the creation of a new caliphate by hardcore Islamists in Syria & Iraq, who have gone by the names ISIS, ISIL, and the Islamic State -- an event that has had powerful & varied implications, as Muslims from around the world answer the new caliphs call to jihad, with thousands of young Allah junkies pouring into the war zone from all over Europe, as well as from the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and various Muslim nations, to fight for the creation of an Islamic super-state with global ambitions. At last count, some thirty thousand newly-minted jihadis from more than one hundred countries have gone to assist with that grand project. And it's not just testosterone-raging teenage males who are drawn to this holy war in far-off desert lands. Young Muslim women have also been leaving the safety of their homes in Western Europe to join the conflict in Syria & Iraq, sometimes serving as fighters or suicide bombers, and sometimes as war brides. Meanwhile, other Muslims have been inspired to carry out terrorist attacks in the name of the new caliphate, from Pakistan to France to Canada, Australia, and points in between. And many others have become emboldened stealth jihadis, working to undermine their adopted societies in the West with a new pride & enhanced vigor -- some of them now dispensing with stealth altogether as they become more & more confident, strident, and assertive. The rise of the new caliphate, and the enthusiastic response it has elicited in devout Muslims around the globe, has suddenly put the slow, steady drift towards World War III on the fast track.

But the savagery of the new caliphate (where medieval horrors such as beheadings in marketplaces, crucifixions by roadsides, the stoning of homosexuals, selling captive women into sexual slavery, and burying women and children alive have been brought back into vogue) is just the biggest, most attention-grabbing development in a global war of ideologies that is suddenly accelerating at an alarming rate -- at a rate thats surprising even for those of us who have been watching for years as Muslims around the world have become increasingly hostile and openly imperialistic.
