'Oborne has taken up the unpopular cause of British Muslims, who
feel misrepresented by politicians and the newspapers... The
popular idea that there is a "clash of civilsations" between the
West and Islam has resulted in failed wars abroad and shameful
persecution at home... His analysis of the web of think tanks,
politicians and journalists shaping the narrative around British
Muslims is certainly eye-opening.'
*Daily Telegraph*
'There is plenty of interesting material here. Most readers will
probably not realise that the American navy was created as a
response to the depredations of “Barbary” pirates in the early 19th
century. The heart, however, of Oborne’s book...represents an
admirable piece of sustained investigative journalism. For those
interested in the malign impact of Islamophobia in Britain, [the
book] genuinely breaks new ground and deserves to be widely read
and debated.'
*Church Times*
