Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America by P. David Gaubatz

CAIR describes itself as America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, aiming to "enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding."

Among the many findings in "Muslim Mafia," however – backed by internal documents obtained in the undercover probe – is CAIR's behind-the-scenes work to mislead and deceive the FBI on behalf of terrorism suspects and its cultivating of Muslim moles inside law enforcement who have tipped off FBI terror targets.

The book, co-authored by P. David Gaubatz and Paul Sperry, asserts CAIR is acting as a front for a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood – the parent of al-Qaida and Hamas – to infiltrate the U.S. The book's release caused leaders of the bipartisan Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus to call for multiple federal investigations of CAIR. In response, CAIR has sued "Muslim Mafia" co-author P. David Gaubatz and his son Chris Gaubatz who led the daring six-month undercover penetration of CAIR.

Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilisations by Martin Goodman

History which never happened both comforts and tantalizes by hinting how we might have avoided present miseries. What if Rome had never grown to be more than a small, undistinguished Italian city-state? It is unlikely that any other Mediterranean empire would have obliterated the Temple of Jerusalem, as did the Roman emperor's son Titus in 70CE - at least, it is very unlikely that the temple would not have been rebuilt or redeployed for a new sort of faith. Total destruction was not the way in the ancient Near East: witness the seventh-century struggle over the ancient holy place of Mecca, which Muhammad transformed into the focus of a newly conceived religion. Without the Romans, temple worship would have continued in Jerusalem, with thousands on thousands converging on it yearly, ecstatic to end their pilgrimage in a centuries-old sacred city, as still happens on the hajj to Mecca.The reality of history is that after 70CE, followers of Judaism throughout the Mediterranean and Near East witnessed the agony of their homeland in Judaea, shattered and traumatised by Titus's victory. Resentment at Roman repression and the temple's continuing ruin provoked rebellion, and a second and decisive round of destruction in 132-35. In the decades between, one messianic offshoot of Judaism, founded by Jesus who was crucified, projected an identity right outside the normal confines of Jewish faith. The Jesus movement's crucial transformation into a religion for Gentiles as well as Jews, pioneered by Paul even before the temple had fallen, gave it potential for growth on a scale unprecedented for a marginal Jewish sect.
