Descriere & specificații

Knowing that Western civilization has been for many centuries squarely in the sights of the Global Islamic Movement-with countless engagements large and small on battlefields across the globe attesting to the implacable will of the Islamic enemy to defeat and subjugate us-it would seem to behoove us to examine the cultural, military, political, religious and social currents within Islam that inspire its relentless drive for supremacy. Even more specifically, if we are to avoid the fate of countless others who have succumbed to this onslaught, we need also to study and confront the Islamic style of warfare. That is particularly true insofar as the 21st Century is shaping up to be a time of accelerating attacks by the forces of Islam. Much of that takes the form of unconventional warfare, as has been true in the past, as well. An Islamic state that takes, holds and claims to govern territory it calls a Caliphate remains the ultimate ideal for Muslim warriors. ISIS' "Caliph" Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and followers have simply brought to bear for this purpose the modern-day equivalents of camels, horses, swords, spears, catapults and mangonels. Their instruments of jihad include blitzkrieg-style charges across vast desert expanses in captured U.S. Humvees, armored cars and machine-gun-mounted pickup trucks; artillery, the use of automatic rifles, rockets, missiles and mortars in fire-and-maneuver warfare; and deadly attacks with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and car bombs.
