"Civilizations do not fall to armies alone - they fall when they fail to see the ideas that have already breached their gates."
A Civilizational Reckoning examines how Sharia, a 7th-century legal system, is reshaping Western culture, institutions, and freedoms - in ways both visible and unseen. Extensively researched with citations from primary Islamic sources, this vital guide offers doctrinal clarity and legislative solutions, empowering compassionate readers - policymakers, scholars, and citizens - to understand and counter a profound challenge to human rights and liberty.
Review :
The 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, the various ISESCO strategy papers, and the regularly adopted OIC action programs leave no doubt about the intentions of Islamic states and organizations worldwide. Hardly any political leader in the West has any significant knowledge of Islamic teachings and Islamic organizations are doing everything they can to ensure that this remains the case. In contrast, Elaine Ellinger's book offers a clear and well-documented account of the doctrine and the current reality.
I consider A Civilizational Reckoning required reading.

Going... Going... Before Western Civilization is gone a new Great Awakening is desperately needed. Most are in the sleep of delusion and fantasy about the real nature of Islam which is much more than a religion To wake up, read A Civilizational Reckoning and recommend it to political, religious, and cultural leaders (and others) now.
