Book Review: "The Enemy at Home"

Excerpt from Dean's review -
"First, a disclaimer – I love making fun of lefties. As a matter of fact, the interests I list on my MySpace.com homepage are extreme sports, getting ink done and slagging on liberals. So you might think that Dinesh D’Souza’s new book, “The Enemy at Home” would be right up my alley. Quite the contrary, I found “The Enemy at Home” to be intellectually obtuse, poorly informed and, most importantly, an irresponsible exercise in putatively conservative bomb-throwing."
Oaky, I see what you're saying. We could all be Amish, and the Muslims would hate us. They hate us because we are not Muslim, not because of our "Blue State Values." This should be interesting.
Week before last some professor from Boston viciously attacked D'Souza's latest book in the New York Times Book Review. One of the most personal, mean-spirited take downs I have seen.
But, what is one to expect from the TIMES? They long ago lost all sense of decency.
Imagine that. The Straussian D'Souza accused of being intellectually obtuse and poorly informed. Heck, we could have told them that several years ago...
I know that Lores will have finished reading the book by show time this Sunday. Her parents are from Egypt and persecuted for being Christians there so I'll be interested to hear her take on Dinesh's new book.
This quote alone from D'Souza's book shows how wrong he is. He seems to think dhimmitude is good.

Seduced by radical Islam, I became everything I once despised.
Seduced by Radical Islam
Before I was an FBI informant, an apostate and a blasphemer, I was a devout believer in radical Islam. That meant I had to remember a lot of rules. I could never pet a dog or shake hands with a woman. I could eat only with my right hand, and before prayer, I had to roll my pant legs above my ankles. I accepted all this.
And more. I believed that non-Islamic governments were illegitimate, that jihadists were brave holy warriors carrying out the will of Allah, that Jews and other non-Muslims were inferiors who had to be conquered and ruled. Funny thing, I was born Jewish. At 23, with my nose in a wool prayer rug, I found myself praying for the humiliation of my parents because true Islam demanded it, or so I believed.
This is the story of how I was seduced by radical Islam -- and how, over time, I embraced a worldview that I had once abhorred.
(snip)
In fact, Jews were much safer in the Ottoman empire than in just about any of the Christian kingdoms, such as that of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain."
You really should try reading some history before you make silly statements.
"much safer in the Ottoman"
Relatively safer. Not free. Still oppressed. Still dhimmi.
They had legal status, unlike Jews in europe.
"legal status"
Yeah. Third class status. Non-mooseslimes are second class. Jews are third class in all islam-o-nazi countries.
The black african slaves in the US South had a legal status too... Slave.
bump
" legal status too... Slave. "
Better answer than mine!
Bernard Lewis says the same thing. I don't think either one is enamored of "dhimmitude." I think they simply prefer accuracy over rhetoric. If you think you know more about it than Lewis perhaps you should write your own book.
I think my point would be that the muzzies are still in the 7th century and treat every non-muzzie as 2nd class in rights, except for Jews, who have no real rights.
