ABOUT US

 

"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

 

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this April 2007 edition of 6th Column Against Jihad has three reviews of books which will be included on this page in the future.  Please see the reviews of Because They Hate, Infidel, and An Introduction to Islam.

 

 

Where Does One Start to Understand Islam and Jihad?

As the warring Muslims bring on carnage daily across the globe, more and more Americans are  waking up. We have an obligation to bring useful resources and concepts to the attention of readers, to make it easier for them to get up to speed.  None of the following lists is intended to be exhaustive, but they are open.  So, if any reader wishes to recommend, please do.


Websites and Blogs



These are terrific sites which keep your mind on the pulse of current events involving the USA and Islamia. Not every article, as you might assume, deals with this war, so pick and choose. Enjoy the other articles on these sites–they add nicely to the fund of general knowledge.

Also, please note that our sister blogsite, Sixth Column, has its own links, some of which do not duplicate the  following on this page.

NEW RECOMMENDATIONS

We are very pleased to state that a colleague-in-arms has posted the entire text, in English, of Andre' Servier's The Psychology of the Musulman.

Our Original Listings

Daniel Pipes,  (Daniel Pipes is a modern day Paul Revere)

Student Movement Coordinating Committee for Democracy in Iran (One of the few ways to peek into the pro-freedom rebellion going on in Iran) 

Counter-Jihad Task Force (Created to arm you intellectually to deal with Islam, and it intends to be one-stop shopping.  It is new and growing daily.)

September 11 News.Com (This site has attack images and extensive information about that day.  It will not let you forget)

The Religion of Peace (Excellent, truthful reporting on Islamic jihad behaviors globally)

Infidels of the World, Unite! (A new site, presently under construction, listing 1500 or more patriotic and anti-jihad sources)

Discover The Network (Dedicated to exposing the interconnected web of left-wing activists, organizations, journalists, and financiers that wage political warfare against the United States and her founding ideals.)

Some sites generate new postings daily, such as Jihad Watch.  Others follow the work week, such as Front Page Magazine and Best of the Web.  Others follow no schedule.  Visiting these sites often, you will quickly learn their periodicity.  And, by the way, there are many other sites which are useful to know about, some good and some from the enemy. 

 

Other websites of value 

Each of these sites offers value:  Differing things at different times, and, of course, varying value, but always worth checking out.  This is in no way a comprehensive listing.

BOOKS

The same may be said of books as was said of websites:  This list is not exhaustive.  These are the books we have read and recommend.  We also have reviewed some other books which may not be on this list (see Site Contents).



Foundation books


We now have a treasure trove of excellent works written by authors who analyze facts and write the truth about Islam. There are too many to cite for this introductory list; others will be cited in time. These listed, we regard as the very best. Once these have been read, the reader will be able to understand all of the basics of Islam and be able to navigate through all materials expertly. No apologists for Islam appear on this listing.

1. Onward Muslim Soldiers, Robert Spencer, Regnery Books, ISBN: 0-89526-100-6, 2003. His second book which adds extensive factual information about Islam and Jihad to his first book.

2. Islam Unveiled, Robert Spencer, Encounter Books, ISBN: 1-893554-58-9, 2002.
His first book, which provides considerable background information about Islam.

3. Why I Am Not A Muslim, Ibn Warraq, Prometheus Books, ISBN: 0-87975-984-4, 1995.
A sentinel volume by an apostate, giving background information about Islam that is hard to find elsewhere.

4. Prophet of Doom, Craig Winn, Cricketsong Books, ISBN: 0-9714481-2-4, 2004.
Extensive presentation from the basic works of Islam to show the fraudulence of Islam and the nefarious character of Muhammad.

5. Leaving Islam, Ibn Warraq, Prometheus Books, ISBN: 1-59102-068-9, 2003.
True life stories by apostates who left the lands of Islam and Islam itself after enduring the horrible caused by Islam.

6. Koran, translated by N.J.Dawood, Penguin Books, ISBN: 0-14-044558-7,1999.
Everybody needs to read one, at least once. This is a relatively unembellished and unpolitically correct translation in a paperback format.

7. The Arab Mind, Raphael Patai, ISBN 1-57826-117-1, 2002.
Dr. Patai demonstrates how Arabs, thus Islamists, think and behave, why they talk and act the ways they do.

8. The True Believer, Eric Hoffer, Perennial Classics, ISBN: 0-06-050591-5, 1951.
The key to understanding mass movements such as Islam.

10. Unholy Alliance:  The American Left and Radical Islam, David Horowitz, Regnery, NY,2004: ISBN: 0-89526-076-X.  This book paired with Ominous Parallels arms you for America's Fifth Column. 

11. Ominous Parallels, Leonard Peikoff, Meridian, NY,1982:  ISBN: 0-452-01117-5.  Dr. Peikoff gives the root causes for today's nihilism and what to do about it.  This book paired with Unholy Alliance arms you for America's Fifth Column. 

12.  The Sword of the Prophet, Serge Trifkovic; Regina Orthodox; ISBN 1-928653-11-1; 2002.

13.   Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), Robert Spencer; Regnery, Washington, DC; ISBN 0-89526-013-1 2005.

14.  Dawning of a New Dark Age, Mark Alexander.  This link takes you to the Barnes and Noble site where you can find additional details, including how to order.  We have long regarded this book as one of the best, if not the best, book for anyone new to Islam--that is, anyone who wants to understand the truth about Islam, without propaganda.  The author experienced Islam up-close-and-personal for many years in Saudi Arabia and Oman.

15.  The Truth About Muhammad, by Robert Spencer, Regnery Books, Washington, D.C; ISDN 1-59698-028-1; 2006

Readers:  Please send us your book recommendations.


If we had to pick the top six books as a starter kit, we would select books 1, 2, 3, 12,13, and 15. They are well-written and highly informative. It would be a shame to stop after reading the fourth book, but considerable ignorance would be a thing of the past by then.  If you know almost nothing about Islam, start with book number 13 on the list.
