If you don't know much about Islam and are interested in a crash course, then this is the book you need to read.

"They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It" by Brigitte Gabriel is a brief, informative introduction into what Islam is all about. Ms. Gabriel takes the position that the main goal of Islam is to spread to other countries, infiltrate their ranks from within, and achieve influence in the respective country in order to establish Sharia Law. This book provides a wealth of evidence to support this claim, as well as multiple examples from the Koran that appear to preach a medieval ideology.

Here are some excerpts from the book:

"The Koran sura 9:29 commands Muslims to "fight against those who do not believe in God or the judgment day, who permit what God and his messenger have forbidden, and who refuse allegiance to the true faith.""

"The Prophet Mohammed, whom Muslims consider the perfect man, married a six-year-old girl and consummated the marriage when she was nine. While in the eyes of the West he is a criminal, in the eyes of Islam he is not only a good person but is following in the footsteps of the Prophet."

"Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior to dirt: "Believers, approach not prayers with a mind befogged or intoxicated until you understand what you utter. Nor when you are polluted, until after you have bathed. If you are ill, or on a journey, or come from answering the call of nature, or you have touched a woman, and you find no water, then take for yourselves clean dirt, and rub your faces and hands. Lo! Allah is Benign, Forgiving." (Koran: 4:43)"

"Today Islam is seen through a Western prism, which reflects a Western worldview as well as a lack of knowledge in Islam as a religious and political identity. The West identifies leaders as belonging to the left or the right. They perceive Yasser Arafat as a moderate, the king of Saudi Arabia as a conservative, and Khomeini or Osama bin Laden as radicals. The West fails to understand that all these leaders will stand together as one on the Islamic side of the fence against the infidels when the call of Allah Akbar (Allah is the greatest) is made."

Ms. Gabriel's book will open your eyes to the realities of Islam, and realize the global implications that will result from the spread of Islam to western countries from within. This book concludes with steps you can take to help stop this Islamization of the West (hence the title) before it's too late.
