reviewed Ritual, Politics, and the City in Fatimid Cairo on May 04, 2018 Ritual, Politics, and the City in Fatimid Cairo
Written with an obvious bias against Islam, but still deeply chilling. Picked it up on a whim at my local library. "Islam and the War on America" is a slightly misleading title, however: "Islam and the War on Everybody Who's Not Muslim" is more accurate.
Plenty of anecdotal knowledge in this book, but I didn't really glean any new insights into the nature of Islam. Average book. 3/5.
