"All religions and
cultures suffer from sources that preach hate against the 'other.'
Throughout history some have, tragically, practiced what their sources
preached, while some have sought to dismiss or even counteract the
hateful words of their sources. In this book, Neil Kressel shows how
extremists within Islam, many in leadership roles, have exploited some of
their hateful sources to preach and practice a virulent form of
antisemitism. Read this book and judge for yourself."
Alan Dershowitz
"Kressel presents undeniable and yet long-denied information
about the pervasive and insidious nature of Islamic antisemitism - and he
does so with a pained sensitivity that is both admirable and
heartbreaking. Reasonable, patient, and nonemotional, Kressel is
antiparanoid and utterly fact-driven."
Phyllis Chesler, emerita professor of psychology
and women's studies, City University of New York
"While parts of this book make me uncomfortable, I must admit that
is represents, rather sadly, what many of my coreligionists think."
Khaleel Mohammed, Center for Islamic and Arabic
Studies, San Diego State University
"A lucid, compelling, and much-needed account of how the crucial
issue of anti-semitism in the Muslim world is currently being minimized,
downplayed, obfuscated, and in many cases completely ignored in much of
the Western world. This book should be required reading for
decision makers, opinion moulders, and not least 'experts' in academia, who
have been particularly complicit in this policy of silence."
Robert Wistrich, director of the Vidal Sassoon
International Centre for the Study of Antisemitism
