(Hide Review...)  Funding Evil?
Reviewer Permalink
A waste of space, with out of date (for 2002) information concerning the IRA who by 2002 had decommissioned, also bas info on African diamond trade, plus a heavy Zionist bias. Not worth the money, and after the Turner Diaries the worst book that I have ever purchased from the U.S. NOT RECOMMENDED buy something else. Rated zero stars. "Ghostrider" [I have been to Afghanistan, most of the Arab world :Iran,Iraq,Egypt, Libya, Saudi, Kuwait; South and Central America, mainly the no-tourist places, as well as "Red" China (c 1976) and a few "nasty" places in Africa, (in no special order) Senegal, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Angola.

(Hide Review...)  Know what fuels the World Wide Jihad
Reviewer Permalink
This book is a must read for those who wish to know how the Islamists are financing their Hard and Soft Jihad within all western nations. This book should be made obligatory reading in all Western Universities and Government Departments.

Dr. Ehrenfeld has gone out on a limb to report these insidious activities that occur on a daily basis within ALL our societies, by an ideology whose main goal is to subjugate and conquer our free and democatic nations.

I recommend this book to those who wish to know how the enemy, that we are now being forced to confront, not only in our own backyards but globally, operates.

If a Saudi royal is spending millions on muzzling the author of this book, you better believe it has some good stuff inside! This is a must-read for any non-Muslim, and it is important to purchase this book to support the brave, idealistic, sacrificing author, who is in the same righteous league as other heroes like Robert Spencer, Andrew Bostom, Ibn Warraq, Ali Sina, Walid Shoebat, Brigitte Gabriel, Bat Ye'or, and a few others. Buy a copy for yourself. If you have a relative or friend who works in any capacity for DHS, buy him or her a copy, too. This is especially important because of infiltration of Muslims into our government (read also Infiltration by Paul Sperry), as evidenced by the recent termination of Stephen Coughlin, a key Pentagon specialist on Islamic law and jihad, as a result of Muslim pressure by Hesham Islam and the terrorist front groups CAIR and ISNA.

(Hide Review...)  City Magazine piece that discusses this book
Reviewer Permalink
An article entitled, "A SLAAP Against Freedom" in the current (Autumn 2007) issue of City Journal talks about the nonsense this book's author went through regarding this book in the goofy U.K. legal system. Evidently, freedom of speech is NOT a right guaranteed in the U.K. Fortunately, U.S. courts are handling this case as a First Amendment issue. (BTW, Amazon's U.K. operation doesn't stock this book ... or, at the very least, isn't stocking the book at this moment.)

The article also notes how Cambridge University Press succumbed to a frivolous libel suit of a similar nature. A sad day for CUP (one of my favorite publishers). Although I'm sure the author in question can find another publisher, a CUP imprint will be tough to match.

Let's hope that U.S. courts remain above frivolous libel suits and protect freedom of speech.

God Bless America!!

(Hide Review...)  Essential reading
Reviewer Permalink
Funding Evil will arm you with enough knowledge to see the outlines of the jihad strategy to spread sharia and Dar al Islam around the world. It is dense with enough detail to make it a vital reference, yet engaging and readable for mainstream audiences. It ought to be available in every library in America and the West.

Scanning the book, it's not hard to see why libel tourists such as Khalid bin Mafouz want it squashed and sue to keep it out of your hands. He appears on page 22 accused of dropping tens of millions of dollars directly into terrorist bank accounts. He appears on page 39 dropping funds into the bank accounts of "charities" that are in turn known supporters of Hamas and al Qaeda. His family turns up throughout the book funding various causes that just happen to funnel money to terrorist groups. The book certainly either defames or defines his character. Given the fact that other authors have researched bin Mafouz's finances and found similar financial connections and transactions, it's more likely the latter. So he sues.

Dr. Ehrenfeld's fight against libel tourism will set free speech precedent for decades to come. If she succeeds, courts outside the US will not be able to punish authors whose books are published in the US but sold internationally via Amazon and other online outlets. If her fight fails, then Khalid bin Mafouz will use his billions to come after other American authors who expose how terrorism is financed and fueled by wealthy Saudis and others who appear to be trying to buy their way into paradise by funding worldwide homicide bombing. And he'll come after US reporters, columnists and bloggers too. Her fight is our fight and your fight too.

Funding Evil is essential reading. With a foreword by former DCI James Woolsey and a critique of the 9-11 Commission report as well as details on terror financing and support for the legal jihad that reach right into the Saudi royal family, Funding Evil is indeed a book that the Saudis don't want you to read.

"Funding Evil" is an excellent book. It is so well resourced that powerful forces have seen fit to place this book and its courageous author on the literary endangered species list, a situation that has "ominous implications" into researching the financing of terrorism, according to Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum. That this single volume has produced such international controversy and acclaim is indicative of the fact that it is right on target. This is not surprising, given Dr. Ehrenfeld's extensive experience in this realm, meticulous research, and unique understanding of terrorist networks. All this and more make this book a "must have" for anyone who is interested in the subject of terrorism or actively involved in counterterrorism. The bottom line? To quote Daniel Pipes yet again, "Brava, Rachel Ehrenfeld." Brava!

(Hide Review...)  Alarming about Islamic Wealth (thus crimes and banditism)
Reviewer Permalink
Imperative reading to all.



This outstandingly well researched book alarms your mind towards understanding why many cartels, drug and gun traffickers, and bandits keep on "working" with no punishment and are so difficult to be caught.

Who help to protect and cover them? Islamists.



The Islamic and Islamist Gross revenue comes not only from blowing up infidels and from Oil, but also from blackmailing and threatening government officials and from making alliances with drug dealers, with who they destroy other infidels, making them eternal "customers", in other words: The eternal sponsors of Islamic and Islamist terrorism - thus bastardies.



Also $$$ comes from trafficking alcohol.



Why do you think it is so against "Islam" to a Muslim drink and take drugs?



Among THEIR (religious) allegations of impurity, recalling that it is not sacred to drink, but to blow up infidel babies and pregnant mothers is very sacred, you find that if their "soldiers", the soldiers of Muhammad and the god of the moon allah-(warranq), if they do not take neither drugs nor alcohol, they will be easily controlled and will not fall victim of their own kind.



Check and see in South America, Ciudad Del Este, where Islamic (not Christians) Palestinians control illegal traffic of drugs, counterfeit products, women slavers (A good product to be sold) and alcohol, and the way they threaten Paraguay's Population, a starting point to send $$$ and Guns to Islamic Palestinians terrorists and Predators in the ME- then you will see how "poor" these "poor" victim Actors and Players are- filthy bastards.



Also the Colombian Traffic so well supported by the "poor" Palestinians, soooo "oppressed" all over the world and in the Jewish Land of Israel...Come and See how "poor" this kind is wrongly pictured. After you check the link in between them, All jemaah, Hezbollah and Hamass and the "Friends" of America, the Saudis, then you will understand what islamism, Islamists mean to the world.



BTW, never any of these Islamic and islamists bastardies were ever cited or condemned by councils.....



This book is pivot to understanding the economy behind the Islamic and Islamist terror , agenda against the western civilization to Islam (Surrender)- THEIR kind, and ultimately, bestiality.
