Acknowledgements

This work would not have been possible without continuous and sustained help from many people. However, because of the nature of the work, most of the many who helped prefer to remain anonymous.

A few have agreed to be identified only by their last names. They are: D. Reynolds, L. Sambodhi, H. Garg, and finally, my Editor, Mr. Wells. Without the assistance and guidance of Mr. Wells, this work would never have been complete.

Three individuals stand out among those who have helped, and who do not mind having their names published. They are: Dr. Bill Warner of the Center for Political Islam (www.politicalislam. com); Mr. Narian Kataria, an Indian political activist from New York City; and Mr. Ali Sina, the Founder and Editor of the very popular web site, www.faithfreedom.org. These three are truly great gentlemen. Although I have never met Mr. Ali Sina, he was supremely gracious in his correspondence, encouragement, and agreement to write a preface to this book. Similarly, Dr. Warner and Mr. Kataria have been a source of strong encouragement through the years of the writing of this book.

Year after year, courageously and selflessly, Messrs. Kataria, Ali Sina, and Warner defend Western Civilization and our freedoms against the hegemony of Islamic imperialism. If the politicians in Washington had followed the wise counsel of these three great men, and many other courageous activists like them, the United States would have saved many lives and hundreds of billions of dollars fighting terrorism without any beneficial results. Washington may have the power and money; but, simply put, it lacks common sense in addressing the greatest threat that confronts the United States and Western Civilization.

This book is dedicated to these three great men as a token of respect and admiration. Emulate them, and we will win the war against Islamic fanaticism.

Finally, I am grateful to my family for their loving support during the five years that I have been working on this book.
