"The Day of Islam" by Paul L. Williams

Let me start by stating upfront that I know nothing about this author (very little available on the web except that he has written other books, has a Ph.D. from Drew University and is being sued by McMaster University in Canada for his claims against the university in this book) and could find no good reviews of the book.

So, left to my own, I read with interest this detailed account of what appears to be real and serious dangers to our world and, more directly, our nation because of Islam terrorists and our poor border protection.

I am aware that our government has anti-terrorists units in the CIA, FBI, Deptartments of Justice and Homeland Security. What is scary about this author's portrayal of the state of affairs is our government's incompetency, manifested by its inability to (1) note the risks, and/or (2) follow-through with known information to ensure that appropriate action is taken.

Whether the author is a paranoid spook or not, he has many citations to support his claims and, at least some of the reports are consistent with what I know from prior reading. He discusses in detail the stealing and transportation of nuclear devices from Russia, the porous Canadian border as well as the relatively lax internal control of immigrants, the plethora of Islamic groups in South American with mechanisms for transporting people and goods through our southern border, and the number is Islamic groups in our country who continue to work towards their ultimate and scary goal of doing us in. Their vision is energized by a fatalistic and crazy religious ideology. Their goals are clear; they are patient; and they are clever.

The long and short of this book is that our society is very vulnerable and we are not improving our ability to protect our society faster than our adversaries are increasing their capacity to do great, great harm to our country.
