Ignore the 1-star reviews; as they are the typical ignorant rants against Islam and Muslims (and not relevant to this book; whatever your views). The Islamophobia Industry has been well documented by numerous individuals and think tanks. Nathan Lean sets out considerable evidence documenting and tracing this loose network of people who make huge profit from anti-Islam racism and who seek to demonize Muslims (almost a quarter of the world's population) to influence US domestic and foreign policy. Over $205 million profit was made by this industry between 2005 and 2013; so it's a lucrative business. Unfortunately; this industry is bad for our country: it increases bigotry and prejudice; affects the wisdom of our policy choices; and erodes the health of our democracy; which can only work if we have an informed population; not a deliberately misinformed one. Nathan Lean's book is easy to read; informative; and necessary.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Those writing reviews against this book have nothing to say about the book - they mostly just are saying that Islam is bad; sharia is coming to America; fear; fear; fear; and repeating whatever they just read on Jihad Watch or Breitbart. I doubt whether they actually even read the book. Maybe a page or two. This is an important read whatever your political views may be.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Hate sellsBy sama AzimuddinHatred is very powerful. There is always a vested interest when people spread hate and fear of the "Other" people
