Islam, Israel and the West: A Former Muslim's Analysis
If you get Islam wrong, you will get the Arab–Israeli conflict wrong. You will misunderstand the immigration crisis reshaping the West. You will be blind to how the greatest civilization ever created is slowly being erased and replaced. And you will fail to appreciate the Judeo-Christian faith, and the culture it built, that gave the world liberty, dignity, and order.
In Islam, Israel and the West, Danny Burmawi makes sure you get Islam right. Writing as a former Muslim who left the Middle East for freedom in the West, Burmawi exposes what Islam truly not simply a private religion, but a political-theological system with global ambitions.
He dissects the Arab–Israeli conflict from a perspective rarely heard, showing why Israel is not just a country in dispute but the frontline of a centuries-old religious war. He explains why Islam and Western civilization are fundamentally incompatible, why “Abrahamic religions” is a misleading framework, and why language games like “Islamism” exist to protect Islam from scrutiny while its influence spreads.
This book explores how incompatible cultures colliding in the same land create unresolvable tensions. And it confronts the cultural, political, and geopolitical crises of our time, from mass immigration to campus radicalism to the unholy alliance of Islam and the radical Left.
Islam, Israel and the West will arm you with the truth others refuse to name, give you a new lens to understand the world’s most divisive conflict, and equip you to defend the civilization that still protects freedom.
This book will show you what is really at stake.

Danny Burmawi is a Jordanian who was a Muslim until he converted to Christianity as an adult. His argument in this book is the Islam is fundamentally incompatible with western liberalism. He argues that violent jihadists are not distorting Islam; in fact, they are interpreting the texts in a straightforward manner.
Reading this reminded me of Maajid Nawaz, who co-wrote a great book with Sam Harris: Islam and the Future of Tolerance: A Dialogue (my review here). Nawaz argues that there is a more liberal and modern version of Islam that is available, though he also recognizes that Islam does have a real problem with extremists. Nawaz also recognizes that even though the violent extremists are a small minority, a substantial percent of Muslims still have some beliefs that are beyond the pale in western liberal societies, on topics like: the rights of women and non-believers, honor killings, and separation of Church and State. His co-writer and debate opponent Sam Harris is skeptical of Nawaz, arguing that he often does a lot of complicated mental gymnastics to get to his more liberal vision of Islam.
I’m rooting for Nawaz, but I’m worried that Harris and Burmawi are correct. I’m grateful for all three that they are willing to stick their neck out and say what they believe. That takes a lot of courage. The reality is that by speaking out as they did, they are putting their lives at risk.
I’m writing this just a couple days after the Hannukkah massacre at Bondi Beach in Australia. It’s hard to understand what Jewish people are feeling right now. I would feel afraid. Afraid that if I speak out frankly or attend any gathering of fellow Jews my life could be in danger. I’d even be afraid something might happen to me just while riding the bus in the city. And I’d be despondent about how right now both major political parties in America have a significant wing that is Anti-Semitic. To me it seems like dark times are ahead for the foreseeable future.

Islam is a Political Ideology Masquerading as a Religion
Mr. Burwami released his book on October 7, 2025: the second anniversary of the genocidal assault by Hamas on Israeli civilians and the largest murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
I started following Mr. Burmawi on Substack several months ago. When he announced his forthcoming book, I pre-ordered the Kindle edition, started reading it on October 7th, and wrote this review on October 14th.
“Islam, Israel and The West” is the most succinct and cogent description of the history and principles of Islam. Burmawi explains why Islam is one of the biggest threats facing America and other Western countries:
* Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion.
* Islamic jihad has murdered +350M people over 1,400 years.
* +96% of globally-designated terrorist organizations are Islamic.
* +60,000 Islamic terrorist attacks in 70 countries since 2000.
* Islam demands the eradication of Jewish sovereignty to restore a global caliphate.
* Islam is invading the west through immigration and investment.
* Saudi Arabia spent +$75 billion (1982-2005) spreading Islam worldwide, constructing 1,500 mosques, 210 Islamic centers, 200 Islamic colleges, and 2,000 schools in non-Muslim countries.
* Qatar, Turkey, Kuwait, and Iran have spent +$20B on cultural invasion of the West.
* Leftists in the West — advocates for Marxism, Postmodernism, and Critical Theory — have allied with Islam to destroy their common enemy: free markets, free speech, and liberal democracy.
* Exposing the truth about Islam is not bigotry. It is not “Islamophobia.”

The easiest way to demonstrate how Islam constitutionalized violence would be to overwhelm you with raw data…I could walk you through the Sunnah, the sayings and actions of Muhammad, narrations that record the assassinations of poets, the killing of women, elders, tribes, caravans, even children; the 86 military campaigns he led or authorized. I could zoom out to 1,400 years of history and recount the 350 million-plus deaths directly resulting from jihad — the imperial conquests from Spain to India, the razing of Christian, Zoroastrian, Hindu, and Buddhist civilizations. I could cite the fact that over 96% of all globally designated terrorist organizations today are Islamic, or the more than 60,000 jihadist terrorist attacks carried out in 70 countries over the last 25 years. I could dismantle the narrative that Islam is “open to interpretation” by showing that the Prophet’s life — the uswa hasana, the “perfect example” — is the only valid lens for understanding the Qur’an, meaning that the ideal Muslim is not a philosopher, reformer, or peaceful neighbor, but a man who wages war, kills dissenters, enslaves women, and demands absolute allegiance.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just as the Palestinian cause in the Arab world serves as a shell for religious hatred, in the West it functions as a shell for something else. The twentieth century unleashed a wave of ideological revolutions — Marxism, Postmodernism, and Critical Theory — that reshaped Western thought. Marxism reframed history as a struggle between oppressors and oppressed. Critical theory cast every social structure, law, tradition, and belief as an instrument of domination. These currents converged into a radical leftist worldview that saw Western civilization — its capitalism, traditions, colonial past, and moral framework — as inherently oppressive.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[This book] is a forensic and unapologetic inquiry into the ideological architecture of a political theology masquerading as a religion. The aim is not simply to explain what Muslims believe, but to show what Islam produces — institutionally, psychologically, and geopolitically.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The war against Israel is not a border dispute. It is not about settlements, checkpoints, or territory. It is a theological crusade rooted in an Islamic ideology that demands the eradication of Jewish sovereignty to restore a global caliphate. In this worldview, Israel’s existence is not just inconvenient—it is an affront to Allah’s will.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Western civilization is not merely a system; it is a sanctuary. Its laws, values, and moral architecture have sheltered dissidents, heretics, dreamers, reformers, and exiles. It alone dares to write its sins into its history books and teach its children never to repeat them. That is what makes it different. That is so much of what makes it worth defending.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Another misconception is that incompatibility can be ignored — that rival narratives can coexist indefinitely under the umbrella of tolerance. The West, in its generosity, embraced this illusion, believing its openness could hold all stories without cost. But pluralism is not universal. It is a fragile achievement, born of the Judeo-Christian belief that truth can withstand scrutiny and conscience must be free. Pluralism survives only when all parties agree to its rules. When a narrative [Islan] enters that rejects pluralism itself — demanding exclusive allegiance, silencing dissent, or enforcing its moral order by law — tolerance becomes the West’s Achilles’ heel.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[In Judeo-Christian cultures…] The sacred was not authoritarian; it was relational. This is why the West could develop moral philosophy, scientific inquiry, and democratic governance without severing itself from faith. Islam leaves no such space. The Muslim story is confined to a single text — the Qur’an — and a single life — the Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an is not to be interrogated by reason or conscience but obeyed. Surah 33:36 is explicit: “It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, to have any choice in their affair.” In Islam, the mind must bow. Reason is not a partner in revelation but a threat to it. If reason contradicts the Qur’an, reason must submit. If conscience recoils from a command, conscience must be silenced. The very name “Islam” means submission. The believer’s role is not to wrestle, but to obey. Virtue is not measured by thoughtfulness or moral struggle, but by conformity. The life of Muhammad — ordering assassinations, taking child brides, distributing female captives as spoils of war — becomes the unquestionable template for human conduct, sacralized not as history but as timeless righteousness.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And this has consequences far beyond individual psychology, it explains the collective moral [and economic and innovation] stagnation of Islamic societies. In a community shaped by this framework: A man does not avoid injustice because it is wrong. He avoids it because he fears divine retaliation. A woman does not dress modestly because of self-respect or social virtue. She covers because the hadith says that her hair will drag her to hellfire and bring down the community with her. Children are not taught to love the good, but to fear hell and crave paradise. This infantilizes the moral consciousness. It freezes entire generations in pre-conventional morality, unable to ascend into principled reasoning. It creates believers who do not question violence, because violence has been made divine. Believers who do not protest injustice, because conscience is untrained. And believers who cannot separate righteousness from reward.

At the same time, Muslims have mastered the art of adopting progressive language for strategic camouflage. They attach themselves to feminist, LGBTQ, or anti-racist causes to rebrand Islam as compatible with progressive values. In doing so, they secure the left’s protection while advancing a theocratic project that fundamentally contradicts those movements’ stated goals.
History shows where this ends. Islam has never remained in partnership with non-Islamic forces once it gains the upper hand. The 1979 Iranian Revolution is the clearest modern example: leftist and Islamic factions united to overthrow the Shah, but once the Muslims seized control, they purged, imprisoned, and executed their leftist allies. The same fate awaits today’s radical feminists, LGBTQ activists, and socialist revolutionaries who imagine they are paving the road to equality. They will find themselves silenced — or worse — once Islamic objectives are secured.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This hardening process would be limited without infrastructure—but the infrastructure is there. Between 1982 and 2005, Saudi Arabia alone spent more than $75 billion spreading Salafi-Wahhabi Islam worldwide, including the construction of 1,500 mosques, 210 Islamic centers, 200 Islamic colleges, and 2,000 schools in non-Muslim countries. Much of this infrastructure went directly into Western cities. A European Parliament estimate put Saudi spending on Salafi missionary activities at $10 billion through organizations like the Muslim World League, with Europe as a primary target.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Islam does not produce morality; it produces suppression. It does not build conscience; it builds fear. It does not nurture upright men and women; it breeds double lives. The vices Muslims condemn in the West are not absent in Muslim societies. They are often more rampant, only hidden behind veils. Pornography consumption rates in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt rank among the world’s highest. Homosexual activity thrives in secret.4 Prostitution flourishes under Islamic camouflage through mut‘ah (temporary marriage in Shi’ism) and misyar (in some Sunni contexts). Islam does not eliminate vice; it only drives it underground. When vice is hidden, it mutates. It corrupts everything around it.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The old jihad of force has not disappeared—it is still visible in Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Houthis—but it is no longer the only or even the primary mode of expansion in the West. The modern advance of Islam is bureaucratic jihad. It flows through the same global systems that govern finance, health, education, climate, and migration. It rides on the back of what some call the Global Public-Private Partnership (GPPP): the intertwined network of international organizations, central banks, think tanks, corporations, NGOs, governments, and media that sets the agenda for nations.
Islam has learned to play this system. Instead of standing outside it, it infiltrates it. Instead of fighting against the United Nations, it captures UN resolutions. Instead of rejecting Western institutions, it forces those institutions to bend under the weight of accusations of racism, Islamophobia, and colonial guilt. Instead of needing to topple governments, it pressures governments to write laws that censor criticism of Islam, subsidize mosques, and re-engineer education. In short: Islam today expands less through direct jihad than through policy jihad.

Islam’s Unique Immunity
Unlike communism or radical leftist ideologies, Islam is not seen as merely political but as a religion. It wraps itself in that mantle, which in the West carries a unique immunity. Governments may ban a party, censor a movement, or outlaw an ideology, but religion occupies a separate, protected category. Islam exploits this shield. The very protections liberal societies extend to religion, freedom of worship, legal recognition, deference to belief, become barriers against critique or containment.
Communism collapsed under scrutiny when its promises failed. Radical leftism can be contested in the open marketplace of ideas. But Islam advances under cover, immune to exposure, because any honest critique is recast as bigotry. The Bolsheviks understood this a century ago: Islam, precisely because it is religion, could be harnessed with less resistance than their atheistic creed. Today’s radical left has rediscovered the same insight. By allying with Islam, they gain a revolutionary partner that enjoys protections they themselves could never claim.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Christian communities, once the bedrock of the Middle East’s cultural and religious landscape, have followed a similarly tragic path. In Egypt, the Copts, who predated Islam by centuries, comprised a significant portion [60-80% is the best estimate] of the population before the Arab conquest. Today, they constitute less than 10% of Egypt’s population, their numbers diminished by centuries of discriminatory taxes, social exclusion, and periodic violence. The 2013 attacks on Coptic churches, following the ousting of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi, saw dozens of churches burned and Christians killed, with little intervention from state authorities. These incidents reflect a broader pattern of state complicity or indifference, as Coptic girls are kidnapped and forcibly married to Muslims, and Christian communities face relentless pressure to conform or emigrate.
In Iraq, the Assyrian and Chaldean Christian populations have plummeted from 1.5 million in 2003 to fewer than 200,000 today, driven by sectarian violence and targeted persecution following the Iraqi war. The Islamic State’s 2014 campaign in Mosul, marked by the infamous “Nun” symbol painted on Christian homes, forced thousands to flee, leaving behind centuries-old communities.
In Syria, the civil war has reduced the Christian population from 1.5 million in 2011 to under 500,000, as extremist groups like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra have systematically targeted Christians for execution, enslavement, or displacement. Lebanon, once a Christian-majority nation, offers a poignant case study in demographic and political decline.
The Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), coupled with Syrian occupation and the rise of Hezbollah, has eroded Christian influence, driving many to emigrate. Today, Christians make up less than a third of Lebanon’s population [vs. 60-80% in the 1700s], their political power curtailed by a confessional system that favors Muslim factions.
Even in Jordan, often lauded for its tolerance, Christians face restrictions on religious expression, such as bans on public Christian symbols and prohibitions on converting Muslims. These examples illustrate a sobering truth: Christian communities, despite their historical rootedness, are dwindling under the weight of Islamic dominance.

The middle is where clarity lives. It is where truth is not bent to fit narratives or manipulated to preserve comfort. It doesn’t flinch under the weight of political correctness or ideological pressure. It doesn’t care who’s offended. What Critical Theory poisons, the middle restores. Where it [CT] sees oppression in design, the middle sees order. Where it cries for deconstruction, the middle builds. Where it brands all strength as abuse, the middle distinguishes between tyranny and responsibility. And where it tears down the very concept of truth, the middle insists: truth is not a construct. It is not whiteness. It is not colonialism. It is not Christian supremacy. It is what it is, unbending, clear, uncomfortable, but necessary for civilization to stand.
The middle does not submit to either [Left or Right]. The middle does not care for appeasement or overcorrection. The middle reads the Qur’an and the hadiths. It understands the concept of dar al-Islam and dar al-harb.* It knows that Muhammad was not just a prophet but a warlord, that Sharia is not a spiritual guide but a total system of governance. The middle sees clearly that the threat is not a few extremists but the theological machinery that produces them, generation after generation. And it dares to say so.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Exposing the truth about Islam is not bigotry. It is not “Islamophobia.” It is intellectual integrity.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And only from the middle can such integrity be practiced, because only the middle is free from ideological captivity. It has no need to protect Islam to prove it’s tolerant. It has no need to demonize Muslims to feel superior. It simply tells the truth and prepares accordingly.
* Dar al-Islam (“the abode of Islam”) and Dar al-Harb (“the abode of war”) are classical Islamic jurisprudential categories dividing the world into two spheres: territories under Islamic rule versus territories outside Islamic control.

Communism collapsed under scrutiny when its promises failed. Radical leftism can be contested in the open marketplace of ideas. But Islam advances under cover, immune to exposure, because any honest critique is recast as bigotry. The Bolsheviks understood this a century ago: Islam, precisely because it is religion, could be harnessed with less resistance than their atheistic creed. Today’s radical left has rediscovered the same insight. By allying with Islam, they gain a revolutionary partner that enjoys protections they themselves could never claim.

Christian communities, once the bedrock of the Middle East’s cultural and religious landscape, have followed a similarly tragic path. In Egypt, the Copts, who predated Islam by centuries, comprised a significant portion [60-80% is the best estimate] of the population before the Arab conquest. Today, they constitute less than 10% of Egypt’s population, their numbers diminished by centuries of discriminatory taxes, social exclusion, and periodic violence. The 2013 attacks on Coptic churches, following the ousting of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi, saw dozens of churches burned and Christians killed, with little intervention from state authorities. These incidents reflect a broader pattern of state complicity or indifference, as Coptic girls are kidnapped and forcibly married to Muslims, and Christian communities face relentless pressure to conform or emigrate.
In Iraq, the Assyrian and Chaldean Christian populations have plummeted from 1.5 million in 2003 to fewer than 200,000 today, driven by sectarian violence and targeted persecution following the Iraqi war. The Islamic State’s 2014 campaign in Mosul, marked by the infamous “Nun” symbol painted on Christian homes, forced thousands to flee, leaving behind centuries-old communities.
In Syria, the civil war has reduced the Christian population from 1.5 million in 2011 to under 500,000, as extremist groups like ISIS and Jabhat al-Nusra have systematically targeted Christians for execution, enslavement, or displacement. Lebanon, once a Christian-majority nation, offers a poignant case study in demographic and political decline.
The Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), coupled with Syrian occupation and the rise of Hezbollah, has eroded Christian influence, driving many to emigrate. Today, Christians make up less than a third of Lebanon’s population [vs. 60-80% in the 1700s], their political power curtailed by a confessional system that favors Muslim factions.
Even in Jordan, often lauded for its tolerance, Christians face restrictions on religious expression, such as bans on public Christian symbols and prohibitions on converting Muslims. These examples illustrate a sobering truth: Christian communities, despite their historical rootedness, are dwindling under the weight of Islamic dominance.

The middle is where clarity lives. It is where truth is not bent to fit narratives or manipulated to preserve comfort. It doesn’t flinch under the weight of political correctness or ideological pressure. It doesn’t care who’s offended. What Critical Theory poisons, the middle restores. Where it [CT] sees oppression in design, the middle sees order. Where it cries for deconstruction, the middle builds. Where it brands all strength as abuse, the middle distinguishes between tyranny and responsibility. And where it tears down the very concept of truth, the middle insists: truth is not a construct. It is not whiteness. It is not colonialism. It is not Christian supremacy. It is what it is, unbending, clear, uncomfortable, but necessary for civilization to stand.
The middle does not submit to either [Left or Right]. The middle does not care for appeasement or overcorrection. The middle reads the Qur’an and the hadiths. It understands the concept of dar al-Islam and dar al-harb.* It knows that Muhammad was not just a prophet but a warlord, that Sharia is not a spiritual guide but a total system of governance. The middle sees clearly that the threat is not a few extremists but the theological machinery that produces them, generation after generation. And it dares to say so.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Exposing the truth about Islam is not bigotry. It is not “Islamophobia.” It is intellectual integrity.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
And only from the middle can such integrity be practiced, because only the middle is free from ideological captivity. It has no need to protect Islam to prove it’s tolerant. It has no need to demonize Muslims to feel superior. It simply tells the truth and prepares accordingly.
* Dar al-Islam (“the abode of Islam”) and Dar al-Harb (“the abode of war”) are classical Islamic jurisprudential categories dividing the world into two spheres: territories under Islamic rule versus territories outside Islamic control.

A critically important book for every American to read and understand.
May 15, 2026
A very good book and maybe one of the best written about the post October 7th world. I wish this book will get attention.
An inside look from an ex-muslim gives some eye opening facts that can surprise even readers who feel they know about this subject a lot. Some parts of this book were very sharp and well written.
A minus star goes for a few wrong descriptions about judaism (anecdotal and not very important for the common reader). And his little passage about eichman and how he was "just following order" and was a normal boring person, again that dangerously concept laid by Hannah Arendt and quotes by "thinkers" as if they were parrots. But that’s also a minor detail regarding to the book as a whole.
Another thought that crept - it seems like some of the passages were written using ai (not only / but also). I hope I’m wrong, but hey, introducing: books from 2025 onwards!

"This clash between internal dogma and external reality also explains how terrorists are made. Imagine believing, without a shadow of a doubt, that God despises those who don’t follow your religion. That He has commanded you to convert them, subjugate them, or kill them. But you are not violent. You want to live in peace. You benefit from secular society. You have non-Muslim friends. You enjoy their freedoms. You admire their culture. Yet every day, you recite prayers reminding you that those who go astray, Jews and Christians, are cursed. You begin to feel it. The guilt. The contradiction. You are not living your faith fully. The 'true believers' tell you you’re lukewarm. And they’re right. You believe the text, but not enough to obey it. You’re not killing infidels. You’re not fighting jihad. You’re coexisting, and you know that’s not what your religion demands.
So, what do you do? You compensate. You cheer for those who do what you can’t. You praise the mujahideen. You justify terrorism. Or you say nothing. Silence is easier. You become the quiet apologist, the passive observer. The contradictions pile up. The dissonance eats at you. And then, some snap. Since 2001, over 60,000 Muslims have committed or attempted acts of terrorism. These are not just lunatics or radicals. Many are ordinary people who finally gave in to the logic of their beliefs. They could no longer bear the tension between the text and the world. So, they surrendered to jihad. They picked up the knife, the gun, the suicide vest because they could no longer live in contradiction. They chose death over doubt. They wanted to align their lives with their beliefs. To stop living a lie. The horizon they inherited was not built for coexistence. It was built for conquest. And when that horizon meets the pluralism, secularism, and tolerance of modern life, it doesn’t adjust. It collides."

Burmawi presents a well integrated and far reaching thesis on an existential topic. If, like me, you have been watching news stories and social media posts about current events, his conclusions fit well with reality. Much of the early sections use October 7, 2023 to highlight how true are these conclusions.
This book unashamedly points a threatening picture about Islam. Unlike the book I read before this "The ABC's of Islamism", Burmawi does not separate Islamism (radical or militant Islam) from Islam itself. While I caught a hint that he may not brand all Muslims, the so-called peaceful Muslims, as radical, he makes a clear case that many of the organizations preaching the difference are insincere. Islam at its foundation is not peaceful.
To demonstrate this he uses the history of the foundation of Islam, and also a myriad of historical and current events. As I said at the outset, he integrates them all into a unified outlook. He also discusses Islam's foundational writings. He says that the Qur'an is often presented in two different translations. The one presented to people in the Western world is sanitized often inserting phrases that aren't in the original to make exceptions for the language of jihad - the language or war and violence. He says that for those whose native language is Arabic, the violence is clear.
Going along with that, many Muslims presenting Islam peacefully quote only the sanitized verses of the Qur'an and deny that any of it is warlike. What they leave out is that for Islam, the hadith is equally important. The Haditha are the teachings and experiences of the Prophet Mohammad. This is foundational for Muslims to understanding the true teachings of the Qur'an. Burmawi states outright that "The Hadiths are binding. To reject them is to leave Islam. Even Qur'anists, the tiny minority who accept only the Qur'an and reject the Hadiths, are considered apostates by the rest of the Muslim world".
While I am in no place to make conclusions on the accuracy of this thesis, I will say he presents a strong case and I am inclined to believe it.
I found it interesting the one effective weapon used by the "radicals" is the constant cry of Islamophobia which I didn't notice until well into the book. In the book I mention above, the author does make a strong case about the misuse of Islamophobia, and Burmawi eventually supports that. As used by "radicals" and their supporters, Islamophobia is not merely an "irrational fear of Islam". For one thing, concern about a truly dangerous ideology is not irrational. But more importantly, the way it is used includes far more than just a fear of it. Some countries have passed laws that make it difficult to criticize of even question anything related to Islam or Muslims. This attitude has been at the forefront of recent debate over the lack of prosecution in the UK of gangs carrying out atrocities against young girls.
There is some discussion about Islam as a belief system and how it relates to Judaism and Christianity. It is clear that the god of Islam has nothing to do with the God of the Christian Bible. The Christian God is relational. Allah is only about obedience. Islam denies Christ's crucifixion (Qur'an 4.157) and his Sonship (Qur'an 19.35)
The book discusses how Israel and Jews have been persecuted from their inception as a nation in 1948. In recent years demonstrations to the point of violence have taken place in the West and Burmawi shows that such groups have a mindset where even facts won't change their minds.
According to Burmawi, true Islam is incompatible with Western values. It is clear he believes that the world is heading to a showdown and his case is not optimistic.

Can Islamic Jihad be Defeated?
In Islam, Israel and the West, Dan Burmawi has written a well-researched and incisive analysis of Islam, its relationships with the West and how to resolve them. Unlike other books on the subject, Burmawi’s contribution is written from the experience of an ex-Muslim who converted to Christianity in his journey from Jordan to Lebanon to the United States.
Equally important, Burmawi exposes the Leftist-Islamic alliance that uses Western tolerance to erode Western survival. Foremost among his insights: unlike the current definition of Islam as another Abrahamic religion, Burmawi proposes that Islam be reclassified as a political ideology that incorporates religious doctrine and recommends a solution that protects our liberal Constitutional order.
"The ideology of political Islam, rooted in Islam’s dual nature as both faith and governance, remains untouched. New groups will exploit Western freedoms, advancing the same goals through advocacy, education, and policy influence. When challenged, they can claim persecution, framing their critics as bigots. This dynamic is impossible in Muslim-majority countries, where the state’s Islamic credentials neutralize such defenses.
"The West’s secular framework assumes religions are private matters of belief, not political systems. It fails to grasp that Islam, unlike other faiths, includes a blueprint for law, governance, and societal order. Muslim-majority governments, operating within Islam’s ecosystem, can suppress this blueprint without undermining their legitimacy. The West, as an outsider, cannot.
"To counter the spread of political Islam, the West must stop treating Islam solely as a religion. It needs to recognize Islam’s legal code, governance model, and vision of supremacy as a political ideology. This would allow governments to regulate groups promoting sharia or Islamic rule without violating religious freedom, much like they regulate other political ideologies that threaten democratic values. Stripping Islam of its automatic religious protection in policy and law is the only way to address the ideology the Muslim Brotherhood represents."
As for the conflict between Israel and the Muslim world, Burmawi demonstrates it is not a geopolitical issue which requires another Muslim state for the Palestinians but is, in its essence, a religious conflict. It is not about land, colonialism, or resistance but religious hatred disguised as a political cause. Arabs had no problem with Jews living under Muslim rule because, in Islamic history, Jews were tolerated only as second-class citizens, dhimmis, under Islamic supremacy. The moment Jews asserted their sovereignty, they became enemies.
Burmawi also points out that “there has never been a nation called Palestine, only a geographic term used by the Romans, the Ottomans, and later the British. Palestine was never a country. It was never a people. It was a colonial label, not a sovereign identity.”
The book is an essential read.

WOW! I agree with one of the other reviews that everyone should read this book. Danny has done a masterful job of explaining and clarifying so many things in this book, and backed them up with history to help the reader understand how things are and were. I now have a much better understanding of the Muslim faith or religion, and this from a man who born raised in it. I already knew it was wrong, even evil just by what we have seen and know as evidenced by those who believe and follow the teachings of that religion, especially the Devout ones who are actually doing the Evil things in the Koran, and writings of Muhammad. Danny weaves together how Islam, Israel and the West are coming to a crossroad where everyone needs a to be aware and understand what is happening right now, and coming very soon if its not dealt with. (My words) Wake up America the camels nose is in the tent and will soon have the whole pack inside.

This book so eye opening and educational. I’ve always wondered what Muslims truly believe and why I always felt confused when reading about it but this book right here explained why I might feel like that. If you think you are confused or conflicted on how you view Muslims I would 100% recommend this book. He doesn’t sugar coat it and he actually explains how we can solve the issue.
March 24, 2026
Burmawi's book is one of the clearest and easy-to-read conversations on Islam. If I could give it 10 stars I would. All politicians and leaders in the Western World should read this book, so they have a clear understanding of Islam and how it is infiltrating Western culture at an alarming rate and what it will mean for our democratic, western freedoms in the near future.
October 24, 2025
Brilliantly succinct in its overview of the Islam problem and how it's affecting the Western world: good background, history, and bang up to date in its reporting. Excellent book - should be required reading for all Westeners.
November 6, 2025
This book was so helpful in explaining everything happening today. A well-written, accessible history of Islam and how and why it is infiltrating the West, slowly but methodically. Highly recommended.
November 27, 2025
If you want to know what’s really happening you need to read this book. It will make you ask questions and address issues you may have been politically hesitant to ask but is openly revealed to the reader. Agree or disagree it will make you think and thinking is good.
September 28, 2025
Islam, Israel, and the West is a an unapologetic critique of Islam and why the world view inspired by Islam, true Islam is not compatible with Western notions of morality.
Islamophobia is not rooted in bigotry but common sense and history. This book explains why.

A compelling and chilling read which provides an explanation why the Palestine Problem is so intractable and its surrounding countries so dysfunctional.

short book, but an editor was needed, both to tell him what the expand on and what is repetitive. learned much about Islam and it's political nature.
January 9, 2026
Some very interesting and important ideas. But the producers and editors of the audiobook should be jailed. At least two chapters contained the narrator's coughs, repeats, retakes, and exasperated sighs--all perfectly normal, but should have been edited out before publication.
January 23, 2026
This book gives the reader valuable insight, useful information, and a better understanding of the conflicting relationships of Israel, Islam and the West.
January 29, 2026
To say this book is fascinating would be an understatement. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. A MUST read. If there were more stars to give it I would.
November 25, 2025
This book exposes the fundamental problem with Islam, which I had been struggling to understand. He explains with clarity (i) why and how it is utterly incompatible with western civilisation, (ii) the basis of the unholy alliance between the left and Islam, and (iii) why Israel is a bulwark against forces intent on destroying western civilisation.

great book
Fearless, well-informed, and articulate. I love the passages using Godfather one and two, and The Shawshank Redemption, to make a point about how two different faiths are understood. Brilliant and pretty funny.
