Additional Info
A major feature of the rise of Islamism in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and parts of the West is the rapid growth of a starkly repressive version of Islamic shari’a law, often fueled by funds and support from Saudi Arabia. The central purpose of Islamists, including terrorists, is to impose such law in all Muslim lands, and then throughout the world in a new Caliphate. Despite its importance, this worldwide growth of extreme shari’a is under-documented and little understood. By a comparative study over the last twenty-five years of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, Nigeria, Malaysia, and Indonesia, this book shows its terrible effects on human rights, especially the status of women and religious freedom, of Muslims as well as religious minorities, and on democracy itself. It also shows that such laws are a direct threat to the American interest of advancing democracy and human rights, that the United States lacks a policy for dealing with the spread of extreme shari’a, and concludes with policy recommendations for the United States regarding specific countries confronting extreme shari’a.

–This book leans of twenty-five years worth of information to show the terrible effects extreme shari’a law has on human rights, women’s rights, and democracy itself.

–Shows how the United States can correctly combat extreme shari’a through specific policies aimed at those countries most affected by this movement.

— Radical Islam’s Rules says that the goal of extreme shari’a is not to terrorize but ultimately to spread their law to all parts of the world in a new Caliphate.
