I was just checking prices at the book listings on eBay when I ran across something entitled "The New Crusades" edited by one Michael Sells (out, no doubt about it). Published in Great Britain. Appears to be a collection of dhimmitudessays on why there is nothing to be feared from Islam. Anybody familiar with this particular waste of good trees and its idiot editor?
BRIDGE BETRAYED RELIGION AND GENOCIDE IN BOSNIA By: MICHAEL SELLS, A. Publisher: UNIVERSITY PRESSES OF CALIFORNIA, COLUMBIA AND PRINCETON
The atrocities in Bosnia-Herzegovina have stunned people throughout the world, prompting them to ask how this savagery is possible. This book answers by saying that the Bosnian conflict was a systematic campaign of genocide and a holy war spurred by Christian mythologies.

Description: This volume explores the historical, political and institutional forces that have raised the spectre of a threatening and monolithic Muslim enemy.

From The Gathering Storm “It is a matter of deep regret that the Government, all political parties and the mass media in Britain are now engaged in a relentless campaign to reduce Muslim citizens of this country to the status of a disparaged and oppressed minority. We have no alternative but to resist this invidious campaign.” This quote is from the Muslim Manifesto: A Strategy for Survival used to create the Council of British Muslims to act as “a Muslim parliament” in the very same nation that gave us the Magna Carta, detailing the rules of property rights and individual freedoms. From NewsByUs. Britain’s Muslim Manifesto made it clear that “Political and cultural subservience goes against their grain” because “at its inception Islam created a political platform from which Muslims were to launch themselves on a global role as founders of great states, empires and a world civilization and culture.” According to the UK’s Muslim Manifesto, “The fact is that a Muslim woman cannot be a western woman.” The problem for Muslims in Great Britain was that “There are laws on the British Statute Book that are in direct conflict with the laws of Allah.” Can it be made any clearer? “We are Muslims first and last.” “Jihad is a basic requirement of Islam and living in Britain or having British nationality by birth or naturalization does not absolve the Muslim from his or her duty to participate in jihad: this participation can be active service in armed struggle abroad and/or the provision of material and moral support to those engaged in such struggle anywhere in the world.” “Islam is our guide in all situations.”Assimilation, according to the Manifesto, wasn’t even an option. Why need it be? By the early 1990s, there were already about 1,000 mosques in Great Britain, many of them former Anglican churches that had been abandoned and sold to Muslims. As is the case of France today, the Manifesto recommended that “The Muslim community may have to define ‘no go’ areas where the exercise of ‘freedom of speech’ against Islam will not be tolerated.” We’ve been warned.
