For years; Cleveland's Chinese residents struggled to find a secure place in the city. Immigrants came with dreams of building a better life; but without English proficiency; prospects dimmed; and emigres often earned poor pay for long hours of strenuous work. In 1925; Cleveland police responded to an especially brutal outbreak of the tong war violence ravaging the community by arresting every Chinese person in the city; creating an international scandal. In spite of the anti-Asian sentiment of the time; the community persevered and paved the way for its current entrepreneurial success. Today; Clevelanders and tourists travel to the growing AsiaTown neighborhood to enjoy authentic Asian dinners; shop at Asian-owned stores and enjoy Asian-themed karaoke nights in newly built malls and century-old former residential homes. Alan F. Dutka vividly portrays one of the oldest and most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the city.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad is Dr. William ...By Anselm ViatorThe Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad is Dr. William Kilpatrick’s latest masterful work on Islam and its seemingly omnipresent “jihad;†in which he both documents the bizarre capitulation of the West to the mass “migration†of Muslims; and demolishes the dishonest tropes proffered by the apologists of Islam. With scholarly precision and humorous; accessible prose; he demonstrates the absolute incompatibility of Islam with Western civilization; and reveals the dangers to the peace and wellbeing of Europe and North America that Islam necessarily poses. Perhaps the most disconcerting element of the modern problem of Islam that Dr. Kilpatrick addresses in this book; however; is not the danger of jihad itself; nor even the intrinsic barbarism of Islam. It is rather the culpability of the Western media and governments in facilitating the dispossession of their own countries; cultures and peoples.Indeed; the capitulation that Dr. Kilpatrick has meticulously and relentlessly documented; both in his books and in his many articles; is so far advanced; that one sometimes wonders whether hope remains. That this book needed to be written is; in this sense; an ominous sign; but that it has been written is a sign of hope. Perhaps the West is not quite dead yet.11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Kilpatrick does an excellent job of setting forth the true facts about Islam ...By AnonymousMr. Kilpatrick’s latest book is a welcome source of accurate information on Islam; "the biggest story of our time." He points out that “many in the West still labor under the delusion that jihad is an interior spiritual struggle;†and that “many more have swallowed the establishment line that jihad violence has nothing to do with Islam.†Mr. Kilpatrick does an excellent job of setting forth the true facts about Islam and jihad and cutting through the misinformation and lies of the current age.“Islam itself…was founded in militancy and spread by violence;†and this book makes it clear that violence is still a fundamental aspect of Islam; but Mr. Kilpatrick also perceptively calls our attention to what he calls “cultural jihad."The leftists; pushed by the "stealth jihadists;" have found a disease in America: the truth about Islam and jihad. The cure? Constant doses of political correctness and courses in peaceful dialogue. What we need in our time is the facts; which is exactly what The Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad provides.With the election just around the corner and the Muslim question taking such a prominent place in the national scene; this is a particularly valuable book; as it contains information which one certainly would not receive from the mainstream media and would have a hard time gathering elsewhere.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Thought-provoking; detailed; and well-writtenBy AnonymousThe Politically Incorrect Guide to Jihad is a clear; detailed; and thought-provoking analysis of Islamic jihad. While providing thorough coverage of the threat from terrorist groups such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda; the book also devotes considerable attention to what the author calls "stealth jihad." The author gives numerous examples of the infiltration of American institutions through stealth jihad; and ably demonstrates that political correctness in our schools; churches; media; and government serves to enable jihad.Kilpatrick's analysis does not merely scratch the surface; but delves into the roots of jihad in Islamic theology and history. In addition to evaluating the threat from jihad; he outlines several concrete strategies for defeating it. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand and resist one of the most menacing threats to modern society.
