• PrefaceIntroductionChapter 1: The Domain of Islam and the Domain of WarChapter 2: Jihad and Genocide: The Case of the ArmeniansChapter 3: The Nazi-Muslim Connection and Hajj Amin Al-Husseini, the Mufti of JerusalemChapter 4: On Jihad, Oil, and Anti-SemitismChapter 5: Iran: Apocalyptic Nuclear GenocideChapter 6: The Fruits of Rage

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.
