The Islamophobia Industry is a disturbing account of the rising tide of Islamophobia sweeping through the United States and Europe. Nathan Lean takes us through a world of conservative bloggers, right-wing talk show hosts, evangelical religious leaders and politicians, all united in their quest to exhume the ghosts of 9/11 and convince their compatriots that Islam is the enemy. Lean uncovers their scare tactics, reveals their motives and exposes the ideologies that drive their propaganda machine. Situating Islamophobia within a long history of national and international phobias, The Islamophobia Industry challenges the narrative of fear that has for too long dominated discussions about Muslims and Islam.

We need more such books to counter the false propaganda against Islam. This book has been written very well indeed

I'm a conservative who doesn't appreciate being brainwashed....

... so I read this book.
I highly recommend it to anyone who has heard the warnings of sharia law taking over America and had even a twinge of concern that it might be true.
Despite the subtitle of the book (about The Right), this book is very evenhanded and does not make sweeping generalizations. If you are a liberal clamoring for a hate-fest toward Republicans (or, conversely, a Republican fearing such), this book will not meet your expectation. It calls out the people on the right who are perpetuating this phobia, but doesn't condemn all conservatives. Rather, it demonstrates how these limited number of people are creating fear among the right (primarily) based on false premises.
This book gives a great overview of past campaigns to implement fear in a populace against the boogeyman of the day - Jews, communism, Catholics, and the list goes on. I learned that these scare tactics aren't new, and they almost always result in tragedy.
I'm a pretty strict conservative, and to me that means believing in the foundations of America - and one of key reasons for seeking our independence was freedom of religion, and freedom to practice without fear of persecution. I'm appalled by the anti-Muslim sentiment pervading our nation in recent years... and while I had heard some of the names in this book (Pamela Geller, Geert Wilders, etc.) before, to see how they are all interconnected, and especially how they are funded and supported by Zionist activists, was illuminating.
I urge everyone to educate themselves and read this book, and more importantly, learn about other people and cultures different from you. It doesn't make you any less Christian to talk to your Muslim neighbors and ask about what they believe, rather than relying on propaganda from individuals with ulterior, political motives. I can guarantee you that with every Muslim you get to know, you will realize that the information we have been fed about Islam by the Islamophobia Industry is manufactured and empty.

Islamophobia - A Grand Delusion
21 avril 2013

I've grown very weary of late, what with all these so-called progressives on a diatribe throwing around this title of "Islamophobe" to any who dare criticise Islam. Most recently, Mr. Lean attacked Sam Harris and the New Atheists for perceived Islamophobia. Mr. Lean is quite an adept quote miner as he proved in his article ran by Salon. He attempted to make his case against Harris by using Harris' philosophical hypotheticals in regards to profiling and preemptive nuclear strikes. What were actually nothing more than simple thought experiments to Harris were the basis of Lean's argument. Need I say more as to Lean's character?
To get a better picture of this progressive assault on Islam critics, I suggest reading Nick Cohen's "The New Left." Christopher Hitchens' "Arguably" is also a good choice. To better understand Sam Harris' position, I suggest "The End of Faith."
Carry on.
