"Londonistan": A Recommendation

I was listening to Laura Ingraham on the radio last night as I drove home from music practice at church. Laura was interviewing guest author Melanie Phillips, of London's Daily Mail. Ms. Phillips has written a book entitled Londonistan. Although I have not yet read this book, I plan to and from the short interview I heard last night, I feel confident in encouraging you, my loyal readers, to find a copy as well. The following is the summary of the book from Ms. Phillip's website:

Londonistan
Published May 8th by Encounter Books in US and June 1st byGibson Square in the UK.

The suicide bombings carried out in London in 2005 by British Muslims revealed an alarming network of Islamist terrorists and their sympathizers. Under the noses of British intelligence, London became the European hub for the promotion, recruitment and financing of Islamist terror and extremism - so much so that it has been mockingly dubbed 'Londonistan'. In this ground-breaking book, Melanie Phillips pieces together the story of how Londonistan developed as a result of the collapse of British self-confidence and national identity and its resulting paralysis by multiculturalism and appeasement. The result is an ugly climate in Britain of irrationality and defeatism, which now threatens to undermine the alliance with America and imperil the defence of the free world.

"Melanie Phillips’s Londonistan is a last-minute warning for Britain and for much of the free world ... This book is powerful and frightening, but also courageous. In dictatorships, you need courage to fight evil; in the free world, you need courage to see the evil."
—Natan Sharansky



This is a woman who has hit the nail on the head. She sees what has happened to London and her book should serve as a warning for America.

I personally can't wait to get this book.
