You will not read a more vital-or more disturbing, or even funnier-book all year than ISLAMOPHILIA. Columnist and broadcaster Douglas Murray, with trademark wit, delivers an alarming analysis behind the events of the past week in the UK, as the country tries to make sense of the barbaric slaughter of British soldier Lee Rigby on the streets of London.

Some of them have done it because they are too stupid to do anything else and others because clever people can be really dumb at times." Murray then goes to detail the extraordinary strategic cultural efforts made in recent years to "rewrite the last few millennia of history, minimising and denigrating the impact of actual scientists and promoting the claims of Islamic proselytisers" and he has fighting words f Political Science, Social & Cultural Studies, Islamophilia~~ Douglass Murray~~Political Science~~Social & Cultural Studies~~9781627770507, EN, Islamophilia, Douglass Murray, 9781627770507, embooks, 06/01/2013, , , , embooks, 06/01/2013<
