Synopsis

Upon taking office, President Barack Obama pledged to change the dynamics of America s adversarial relationship with the Islamic world. Just seven years earlier, the terrorist attacks on September 11 had shattered the American sense of security like never before; and further damaged the tenuous relationship with the Islamic world.
The American administration was wholly unprepared to respond to terrorist attacks of such devastating proportions. The shockwaves that reverberated across the nation diverted the American public s attention away from their government s inconsistent and morally ambiguous negotiating tactics. On the other side of the globe, the Islamic world asserted that American support for Israel was in fact the cause of horrible acts of terror. What is the origin of this glaring confusion? Could Israel truly be the cause of Islamic terrorism?
In The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama, author David Rubin uncovers the true nature of Islam: a dangerous, violent ideology that strives for world domination through terrorism, as well as what Rubin calls non-violent aggression. Rubin uncovers the reason why Islam chooses terror over peace and explores Israel and America s vital roles in combating the rampant spread of Islam throughout the world.
This groundbreaking book explains why the rise of Obama has been so unsettling for the U.S. Israel relationship. Examining the constantly evolving and often uneasy relationship between Christians and Jews with an eye on the future, The Islamic Tsunami merges history with current events to create a complete and intuitive analysis of the historically troubled trichotomy between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. With contributions from the Founding Fathers and the ancient but relevant biblical sources, David Rubin delivers a powerful and lucid battle plan for confronting the Islamic threat to our civilization; a bold strategy that will halt the Islamic tsunami once and for all.

All net proceeds from the sale of The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama, will go to the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund, an organization dedicated to easing the trauma of children who have been victims of terrorist attacks. Established by David Rubin after he and his son were wounded in a terrorist attack, the not-for-profit Fund also helps to rebuild the biblical heartland of Israel.

About this title

About the Author

David Rubin is a former mayor of Shiloh, Israel - in the region of Samaria, which together with Judea, is known to much of the world as the West Bank. He is founder and president of Shiloh Israel Children's Fund (SICF) - dedicated to healing the trauma of child victims of terrorist attacks, as well as rebuilding the biblical heartland of Israel through the children. SICF was established after Rubin and his three-year-old son were wounded in a vicious terrorist attack while driving home from Jerusalem. Rubin vowed to retaliate - not with hatred, nor with anger, but with compassion - to create positive change for Israel and its children.

Rubin has become an unofficial spokesman for Israel, with his books that speak the truth about what's really happening in Israel and the Middle East. Rubin also has written extensively about the Israel-US relationship, as well as the very real threat of Jihadist Islam to Judeo-Christian civilization. In addition to his new book, "Trump and the Jews", these books have included, "The Islamic Tsunami", and "Peace For Peace". Rubin appears as a frequent commentator on Fox News, Newsmax TV, and many other television and radio networks, while his articles have appeared in the Jerusalem Post and Israel National News, as well as many American publications and online media. A featured speaker throughout North America and elsewhere, Rubin is known as the "Trusted Voice of Israel."

Review

Is an Islamic tidal wave coming? "There is a plan to take over Western civilization," warns David Rubin, "and we need to recognize it for what it is." Mr. Rubin is a native New Yorker who served as mayor of the Israeli town of Shiloh. He spoke to The Washington Times about his new book, "The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama" (2010, Shiloh Israel Press).

According to Mr. Rubin, the first wave of the tsunami is Islamic terrorism, which he says is "a strategy intended to intimidate people so they won't speak out when the second wave hits." Mr. Rubin has firsthand experience with terrorist violence; he and his 3-year-old son, "Ruby" Rubin, were wounded in a Dec. 18, 2001, terrorist attack in Jerusalem. Afterward, he established the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund dedicated to helping relieve the trauma suffered by child victims of terrorism.

The second and more threatening wave is the creeping takeover of Western political and social institutions, something Mr. Rubin calls the "silent tsunami." The spearhead of this movement is "collusion between Islamic ideologues and the far left to promote the idea of moral relativism," he said, "that all values and ideologies are equal. But they are not. Americans have never believed this."

One dangerous manifestation of this viewpoint is the fashionable intellectual movement to infiltrate Shariah law interpretations into American jurisprudence, something for which there is no need and no precedent and which is antithetical to American norms and traditions. The notion of creating a "Shariah compliant" U.S. Constitution is really a way of ending the American ideal.

Confronting the growing threat to Western civilization first involves admitting the problem exists, something President Obama not only refuses to do but strongly denies. The administration has censored any discussion of the problem in these terms within the government, preferring to focus on ill-defined "violent extremism" when the real extremist threat is only partly violent and wholly Islamicist. Mr. Rubin notes that Mr. Obama's vaunted outreach effort to the world's Muslims has been "a total failure in generating respect for the Judeo-Christian world." The president keeps reaching out, but Islam is not reaching back.

Instead of pandering to Islam in hopes that somehow the threat will go away, Mr. Rubin says the United States needs to rediscover its roots. "The United States is a country built on Biblical foundations," he said. "The United States needs to cease apologizing for what it is and where it comes from." That America is a pluralistic nation in which people from many cultures may live, work and flourish doesn't overshadow the fact that the country was founded on a specific set of ideals that enabled this pluralistic culture to take root. Islamism constitutes a mortal threat to those ideals, just as fascism and communism did for previous generations.

Despite what moral relativists believe, all belief systems are not created equal. A moral defense of the American ideal is possible and increasingly necessary. Mr. Rubin believes Americans "do not have to be ashamed" of the religious basis of the country's founding. "America is built on freedom of worship, but of a particular religious root," he says. The United States has to reclaim and defend the civilization on which it is based or risk declining into second-rate status and being overwhelmed by the tsunami steadily building on the horizon.

The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 15, 2010   

The unholy alliance of Islamic ideologues and secular leftists is undoubtedly the greatest threat to Judeo-Christian civilization and the USA as we know it today. David Rubin is an American Israeli who lives on the front lines of the war on Islamic terrorism in the Biblical heartland of Israel. He has been a proud Israeli for many years and has been victimized by Islamic terrorists for that distinction, but he remains a proud American, as well. As he so poignantly illustrates, the Islamic challenge to Israel and America is varied in its methods and is certainly global, as is the plague of moral relativism in Western society, but the solution at this point in time needs to be much more directly focused, and depends on America reclaiming its formerly proud Biblical heritage, for that is what made America great. Last,but not least, we need to be courageous and proudly standing with those who are continuing the biblical mandate of Israel in our times and are bravely countering the aggressive Islamic challenge. David Rubin has written a powerful book about a crucial partnership for our times. Such a partnership against evil is good for Israel, good for America, and good for Judeo-Christian civilization. - Dr. Pat Robertson; Chairman and CEO of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN Host of The 700 Club)

One aspect of the fundamental change that Barack Obama promised, which has now become disturbingly clear, is the weakening of America's support for our ally Israel and the strengthening of the aspirations of our enemies. David Rubin has written a powerful book that illustrates the strategic collusion between the aggressive Islamist forces and the secular Left. Written from the unique perspective of an Israeli and American patriot who lives with his family in Israel and has personally suffered the ravages of Islamic terrorism and hatred, The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama is a unique and compelling read on the imminent and fateful challenges facing our great nation. - David Horowitz; Founder and CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center; New York Times Bestselling Author

If you saw your children playing with fire in the kerosene distillery you'd raise hell and put a chunk under it.  In addition to a galaxy of other worthy historic and political missions, that's exactly what David Rubin does between covers of The Islamic Tsunami: Israel and America in the Age of Obama. Rubin attacks and destroys those "kids" responsible for whatever rift is widening between the United States and Israel. He exposes the suicidal insanity of America and Israel doing anything but interlocking in their firmest embrace ever in the face of Islamic aggression; suicidal, not just for Israel and America, but for civilization itself. "Armchairs" are great, especially when they're snug within ivory towers belonging to think-tanks, but I prefer my geo-political scolding from the likes of Rubin who lives in Israel and was personally attacked by Islamic terrorists along with his three-year-old son who was shot in the head. This book belongs on that table close by, where alarm clocks go. - Barry Farber; Legendary Radio Talk Show Host
