Efraim Karsh's Islamic Imperialism

Prof. Karsh's account disappointed me. Instead of setting out a thesis about how Islam is imperialistic, he gave me the impression he cherry-picks stories of Muslim imperialists. One could do the same for Christianity's Catholic Crusaders or, later on, Protestants. I didn't find it persuasive, and I regretted that my copy of the book was being distributed free of charge by the Institute on Religion and Democracy.

Now is the time when we really need better versions of books like that.
