Defeating Political Islam is one of those rare books on radical Islam that is not afraid to pull any punches in its analysis and proscription on how to deal with the growing menace of radical Islam, or as Dr. Muthuswamy calls it "political Islam." This is a book that will provoke you. It will fascinate you. It will push your thinking way past the limits of the politically correct discourse about militant Islam in the United States today. This is also a book that may anger you. Dr. Muthuswamy has written a book that contains some of the best analysis I have ever read about the roots of contemporary Islamic violence stemming from the Koran and sharia, but it also contains recommendations and opinions that I strongly disagree with. Even so, this book will make you think out of the box about the problems of radical Islamic proliferation in the world today.
