Global Jihad – The future in the face of Militant Islam
by Patrick Sookhdeo with foreword by Professor Richard Holmes
Isaac Publishing, 2007, 669 pp.


I wasn’t sure what to expect – a book on jihad which, on its own admission, is aimed at decision makers in politics, security, intelligence and the military and written by an Anglican priest. Of course Patrick Sookhdeo, founder and director of the Barnabas Fund is not your stereotypical (few are these days) C of E Vicar.  more...

The future in the face of Militant Islam is grim. I was born in Muslim Majority part of India i.e. the state of Kashmir. My community consisted mostly of Teachers and most Muslims were given modern education by my Community. Most of the economic prosperity that Muslims got was due to the teaching and education of my community called the Kashmiri Pundits.

However, on January 19th, 1990, all mosques in Kashmir simultaneously blared via loud speakers that Muslims wanted Nizame-Mustafa. They wanted Kashmiri Pundit men to leave but wanted the women and girls to be left behind.

The gratitude towards a community of benefactors was forgotten. Religion acquired the overtones of sex marauders as the women and girls were demanded to be left behind. What followed was merciless and most inhuman killings of some very prominent Kashmiri Pundits, A nurse Sarla was put on a band saw and her body cut into two pieces.

Kashmir today is a state where every street corner has a mosque with blaring loud speakers on its ramparts on one side and a grave yard on the other.

The Society following Islamic teachings to the last letter has become untrust worthy, a society of land and home grabbers of the Kashmiri pundits who have left the valley.

The above is the future on the face of Militant Islam

There's a very good response to this book from the Muslim perspective here. It goes into detail over how Sookhdeo misrepresents and distorts the Islamic theological position:
