How appropriate that one of the deepest thinkers about the Holocaust turns his attention to the horrors of Islamic sacred war, known as jihad. Rubinstein's important and fearless study should wake a largely slumbering world to jihad's true nature and its irreconcilable menace.

For fifty years, Richard L. Rubenstein has written courageously and insightfully about crucial issues, including the Holocaust and other genocides. Always on the cutting edge, challenging conventional wisdom repeatedly, Rubenstein's views often provoke controversy but they are ignored at our peril. Jihad and Genocide, the result of careful research and seasoned reflection, is not only a distinctive milestone in Rubenstein's distinguished career but also an analysis essential for religious understanding and public policy.

In Jihad and Genocide, Richard Rubenstein extends his previous analyses of group conflict. The book features clear and evocative writing, careful historical research, and above all, the kind of insight that comes from paying attention to the human propensity to clothe the will to power with high ideals. Indeed, Richard Rubenstein's analysis reminds us that we often do our worst when most convinced of the rightness of our cause. Rubenstein's work should be read by all those concerned with the issues presented by the war on terror: Muslims, Christians, Jews; religious and non-religious people alike.

Extremely well-written, but what is written is frightening. Richard Rubenstein has linked extremist Jihad with genocidal intention in a way that readers have suspected, but never directly known. He refrains from opinion and uses the extreme jihadis' own words to make his case. Their message leaves no doubt of their intentions. Compelling and a must read for every informed citizen.

Richard Rubenstein, who has long been a wonderfully provocative intellectual gadfly among religious thinkers, offers a challenging new study of radical Muslims. Insisting that political threats of terrorists cannot be separated from the religious passions that inflame them, Rubenstein argues that government policy will fail if the religious, totalitarian, and antisemitic dimensions of radical Islam are not understood and addressed.

Renowned Holocaust scholar Richard Rubenstein views contemporary jihadism through his unique prism. This provocative and courageous work elucidates Islam's re-emergent Ur-Fascism-epitomized by the modern jihad to destroy the United States and Israel.
