Mr. Pat
<i>Fear God and the Shadow of the Muslim Sword</i> is a study of Islam and the men leading it in the twenty-first century. I am neither a preacher nor a politician. I am an author caught up in a sensitive subject most secular societies are unfamiliar with. This book is a rational explanation without bias. It is based on both historical fact and books written by modern Muslim leaders themselves, it is not an attack on the religion based on personal agenda.

My research told a different story than what has become common on the editorial pages of American newspapers and contradictory to what the leaders of the American Muslim community are saying. The fact however is, that, with limited exceptions, the term moderate is not compatible when used in a sentence with the word Islam, except to describe what Islam is not!

Challenge me if you will, but put rhetoric aside and research your own beliefs first.

"Islam is a revolutionary doctrine and system that overturns governments. It seeks to overturn the whole universal social order ___ and to establish its structure anew ___ Islam seeks the world. It is not satisfied by a piece of land but demands the whole universe ___ Jihad is at the same time offensive and defensive ___ The Islamic party does not hesitate to utilize the means of war to implement its goal." Sayyid Abdul-Ala Mawdudi - Jihad in Islam – This Pakistani / Islamic Leader / Teacher / Author died in Buffalo, New York.

Mr. Pat
Mr. Pat resides in a coastal town in Florida but he has lived, traveled and worked in numerous countries throughout the Middle East and Africa. After having authored two early books based on his experience dealing with the situations he encountered in the world of Islam he embarked on a study of the Prophet, Muhammad, the religion he founded and the Muslim’s Jihad of world conversion to Islam. Fear God and the Shadow of the Muslim Sword is the result of that study. Written without a political, religious or personal agenda, it is a refreshing and honest appraisal of the religion of Islam and the Muslim family in the world today.
