The New World Of Islam (The Works of Lothrop Stoddard)

Today, we see that the number of Muslims exceeds 2 billion. A huge increase from when this book was written in 1921, when they numbered 250,000,000. As with any other religion, there are different factions competing and fighting for dominance. Their movement into traditionally Non-Muslim countries has also seen a rapid increase, with the resulting issues, one would expect, on the rise. As we have learned, different cultures and beliefs, when brought into new countries with their own cultures and beliefs, without assimilation into the existing culture, invariably lead to jealousies, hatreds, and violence. We can see this throughout the world today. As more and more countries fall prey to the "melting pot" ideology of peaceful coexistence, they find that the idea's foolishness bears no resemblance to the realities on the street. One culture must give way to change, usually the dominant one. In fact, I can see no exception to the rule in any country now facing the problem. And a problem it is. The end result remains to be seen. This book gives you a powerful overview of what to expect as the fiery crescent continues its march.
