Though I believe Youssef can sometimes draw conclusions that are not backed by his references, this book is still worth reading as an alternative view to the typical reporting we receive in America about the goals of Islamic radicals. The historic evidence is pretty compelling. One of the biggest takeaways from this book is the difference between Eastern and Western thought and the trouble we have reconciling these. The West is individualistic, fighting for freedoms and personal responsibility. The East is communal, fighting for honor and conformity. This is a larger problem than most people are willing to admit.

In the wake of rubble and smoke spreading throughout downtown New York, Washington DC, and in a field in Pennsylvania, America was immersed in shock, confusion, and terror. We feared that September 11, 2001 was only the beginning, and despite our growing doubts over the years, we were right.

Blindsided is the wake-up call that will change the way you understand Islam. Michael Youssef uncovers and discusses the truth behind Islamic terror organizations and exposes the threat radical Islam poses to the free world.

Through textual support and historical analysis, Youssef reveals the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the Bible by the founder of Islam that continue to be propagated by Islamists and modern terrorists.

In this book, Dr. Youssef exposes—with integrity—the deception of Islamist propaganda in the West, unmasking their intentions. In these pages, he provides an in-depth examination on the inner workings of the Muslim Brotherhood and how its influence may be closer than we realize.

This book is an eye opening explanation about the Radical Muslim Influence in this country. Be prepared to be surprised and possibly shocked. Radical Islam has become such a powerful force within this country. This book is a wakeup call for all Americans that care about this country. The author did any excellent job explaining his message I recommend this book, Americans need take notice and learn the truth and work together to curtail the influence of Radical Islam in this nation.

Not a book of facts and dates like the two I recently finished, but a look at the philosophical differences between the Salafist Islamic fundamentalists and everybody else. The author did his homework for sure, but this is more about why groups like the Taliban and Hezbollah cannot be trusted or reasoned with. If there is a book the liberal intelligentsia will probably hate but should read this is it.

I was thrilled with this book. I want to grow in my understanding of Islam historically and how it is impacting the world today. I appreciate that the author writes from a Christian perspective.
