Awesome and scaryBy Norma Jean FritzWhat you will learn from this book is that you can’t negotiate with barbarians who believe that Jihad against non-believers for their annihilation is a holy goal. The Jihad leaders are very adept at using the Internet and social media to spread their hateful ideology. They are not the “JV†team. They are experts at what they do. In the final chapter Gorka tells us we can and must do to defeat Islamic terrorists and their organizations. One of the first steps is to educate yourself; because the MSM is not reporting what they should.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Awesome Insight from White House InsiderBy Doug HollandDefeating Jihad is an excellent read and was one of those books that I have not been able to put down. Sebastian Gorka not only has expertise on the subject; having taught at military academies and other prestigious institutions; he is also on the White House staff advising the administration on matters of combatting extremism and terrorism around the world and here at home.15 of 17 people found the following review helpful. This enemy is right in front of us and we are collectively putting our heads in the sand and pretending it will go away just likBy Michael FarrellI can't put this book down. It's scaring the pants of me only because I'm worried for my Children's future and their Children's future. This enemy is right in front of us and we are collectively putting our heads in the sand and pretending it will go away just like Hitler. I don't want this to fester and explode. We should be dealing with this threat immediately. Our current Political Protectors are Non-existent and helping this evil regime more than they are protecting America.
