Doug Saunders: United States

Abu Hamza Dept: Only a short walk from Saunders s home, the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque had fallen under the command of the one-eyed, hook-handed al-Qaeda enthusiast Abu Hamza. Convicted in 2004 on several counts of soliciting to murder, Hamza remains a guest of the British prison system, where he awaits trial for extradition to the United States on charges of abetting terrorism. One of Saunders s neighbours lost two legs in the July, 2005, London suicide bombings that left 56 people dead. Saunders s babysitter converted to Islam. And so on, according to Globe and Mail. Saunders does not go gonzo in any direction. Instead, the Donner Prize-winning author of Arrival City: The Final Migration and Our Next World , approaches popular delusions about Muslim immigration and Muslim immigrants methodically and surgically. He relies upon the most recent and comprehensive scholarly and statistical data, including extensive public-opinion polling information gathered from Muslim immigrant communities in Canada, the United States, Britain and the European continent and video: What motivated Doug Saunders to write The Myth of the Muslim Tide But as the title of his latest book makes plain, The Myth of the Muslim Tide is just that. So is the related frenzy about the spike in immigration from Muslim-majority countries being all part of a deliberate stealth jihad . This fabulous idiocy percolated only recently in wholly undiluted form out of none other than the popular and fatuous American Republican Newt Gingrich. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
