"All religions and cultures suffer from sources that preach hate against the 'other.' Throughout history some have, tragically, practiced what their sources preached, while some have sought to dismiss or even counteract the hateful words of their sources. In this book, Neil Kressel shows how extremists within Islam, many in leadership roles, have exploited some of their hateful sources to preach and practice a virulent form of antisemitism. Read this book and judge for yourself."

     Alan Dershowitz

"Kressel presents undeniable and yet long-denied information about the pervasive and insidious nature of Islamic antisemitism - and he does so with a pained sensitivity that is both admirable and heartbreaking.  Reasonable, patient, and nonemotional, Kressel is antiparanoid and utterly fact-driven."
     Phyllis Chesler, emerita professor of psychology and women's studies, City University of New York

"While parts of this book make me uncomfortable, I must admit that is represents, rather sadly, what many of my coreligionists think."
     Khaleel Mohammed, Center for Islamic and Arabic Studies, San Diego State University

"A lucid, compelling, and much-needed account of how the crucial issue of anti-semitism in the Muslim world is currently being minimized, downplayed, obfuscated, and in many cases completely ignored in much of the Western world.  This book should be required reading for decision makers, opinion moulders, and not least 'experts' in academia, who have been particularly complicit in this policy of silence."
     Robert Wistrich, director of the Vidal Sassoon International Centre for the Study of Antisemitism
