There is much to agree in that book, but our war with Islam began with a camel thief named Mohamed who tried to take over Mecca and had to flee for his life to Medina where the local jews and christians rejected him. The muslims may not be well educated about the west insofar as culture goes but they do know their history and of every battle they lost. Al Qaida is merely the manifestation of the activists, but our problem has been and is with Islam itself. An absurd ideology masquerading as a religion.
