Two Great New Antipodean Book Reviews


Image hosting by Photobucket


One from Australia, from Sydney's top overnight broadcaster, Jim Ball:
Wake Up, West!

(15April06) I have read a lot of books on the issue of Islam and by no means consider my self totally across it. As is the case with most subjects, it has the capacity to glaze the eyes if you let it. This book though is a breezy and comprehensive easy read. You can pick it up and put it down at will and not lose the plot.

The introduction of Mark Alexander's easy to read reality check, The Dawning of a New Dark Age is Wake Up, West! It is compelling reading .

Read an extract from the first chapter entitled Wake Up, West!

And one from New Zealand, from one of our regular erudite and valued contributors, Judah of Judah's Journal
Mark’s format, a collection of essays, makes this an extremely readable text that can be picked up and put down as opportunity allows, giving ‘thinking time’ between reads in order to fully process the knowledge and insights imparted here.

Still too much is misunderstood about this aggressively invasive ideology which threatens to overwhelm and subvert our Western civilization. Since Islam seeks to progress an agenda of world-wide domination and universal submission of all to Allah, by the sword if necessary, we most certainly need to understand far more about it.

Mark knows Islam intimately, and his writing is both perceptive and authoritative. He clearly outlines the dangers posed by Islam, describing the process of ‘Islamicization’ that is already happening, supporting his concerns with references (in context) to the Qur’an and to history, identifying the factors in our own civilization that fosters erosion of our Judeo-Christian heritage and invites the incursion of Islam, and suggesting means by which this could be stopped and reversed. There is a great deal of information packed between the covers of this book and much food for serious thought. To some it will be a horror story, but as frightening as the subject may be, we are wise to have our eyes opened in order to recognize what is happening hopefully in time to help stop the situation from worsening. It may already be too late unless radical measures are put in place, but we all need to know and properly understand the real threat in order that something effective can be done about it.

This is an absolute ‘must read’ for anyone who wishes to know the truth rather than be lulled into complacency by the ‘taqiyya’ (holy hypocrisy) of the Islamic clerics and apologists. If you have never read anything on this subject before, this is a good place to start. Likewise, it is also an essential read for those who do know the subject, the author becoming increasingly well known for his contributions to major websites devoted to the education of the web-savvy general population interested in knowing more about Islam.

I have become well-read on this subject myself, and can testify that the author writes in accord with all else that I have read by other authors with impeccable and relevant credentials. I can recommend Mark’s book to all who wish to be properly informed on this subject and, as the author puts it so well, the ‘dawning of a new dark age’ under Islam.

Thank you, Bld. Yes, I was very pleased to receive these excellent reviews. As you say, it's great that the message is getting out to the far reaches of the planet.

We all need to pay more attention to what's going on in the world apropos of Islam. Our leaders and the electorate are all far too complacent.

Good stuff. You are truly getting around, and I do mean globally. May you become a chronic bestseller and serve as a major force waking up Western civilization.

Bravo Mark! These reviews just "tell it like it is..." Everyone who is concerned about these issues should read your book and then pass it along to a friend

Thank you, Judah! I, too, have been wondering what US Iconoclastic Patriot was thinking about when he wrote that! Writing can be a meagre existence at the best of times (unless one is J K Rowling, perhaps), so buying one book and passing it around, as you rightly say, won't help put many crumbs on my table! :-(

I have been cleaning up the side-bar today. This is learning by trial and error! I have had to try and undo what had been done to it by the hacker.

I hope it stays this way now.

Mark,

i'd really like to see him do interveiws with writers like you and few others he reveiws. Now the public generally knows is doesn't kinda like islam for some reason, we need to get the public discussion to the stage of actual understanding of how islam works on our homelands and laws.
