Description

Book Synopsis: The first fundamental truth about the "Arab Spring" is that there never was one. The salient fact of the Middle East, the only one, is Islam. The Islam that shapes the Middle East inculcates in Muslims the self-perception that they are members of a civilization implacably hostile to the West. The United States is a competitor to be overcome, not the herald of a culture to be embraced. Is this self-perception based on objective truth? Does it reflect an accurate construction of Islam? It is over these questions that American officials and Western intellectuals obsess. Yet the questions are irrelevant. This is not a matter of right or wrong, of some posture or policy whose subtle tweaking or outright reversal would change the facts on the ground. This is simply, starkly, the way it is. Every human heart does not yearn for freedom. In the Islam of the Middle East, "freedom" means something very nearly the opposite of what the concept connotes to Westerners – it is the freedom that lies in total submission to Allah and His law. That law, sharia, is diametrically opposed to core components of freedom as understood in the West – beginning with the very idea that man is free to make law for himself, irrespective of what Allah has ordained. It is thus delusional to believe, as the West’s Arab Spring fable insists, that the region teems with Jamal al-Madisons holding aloft the lamp of liberty. Do such revolutionary reformers exist? Of course they do . . . but in numbers barely enough to weave a fictional cover story. When push came to shove – and worse – the reformers were overwhelmed, swept away by a tide of Islamic supremacism, the dynamic, consequential mass movement that beckons endless winter. That is the real story of the Arab Spring – that, and the Pandora’s Box that opens when an American administration aligns with that movement, whose stated goal is to destroy America.

In a world where illusions prevail, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the truth. "Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy" offers a provocative insight into the so-called "Arab Spring" and sheds light on the fundamental reality that is often overlooked. The Middle East is shaped by Islam, and this book boldly unravels the self-perception ingrained in Muslims, revealing their deep-seated hostility towards the West and their unyielding allegiance to their own civilization.

This isn't merely a matter of conjecture or subjective interpretation; it is an unambiguous fact. The authors of this powerful book deftly address the question of whether Islam and the Middle East's relationship with the West can be altered through different policies or attitudes. They argue that such debates are irrelevant because the essence of Islam and Sharia law, which Muslims adhere to fervently, is fundamentally at odds with the Western concept of freedom. While the West cherishes individual liberty and the ability to shape laws independently, the Middle East sees submission to Allah and his laws as the ultimate form of freedom.

This eye-opening book dismantles the naïve belief that the Arab Spring was a time of imminent change, where champions of liberty would emerge to reshape the region. Although there have been a few reformers, their numbers are minuscule compared to those who advocate for Islamic supremacism. The Arab Spring was ultimately swept away by a tsunami of radical ideology, leaving in its wake a relentless movement to annihilate America. This is the untold story of the Arab Spring, and it is one that cannot be disregarded.

If you seek to uncover the truth behind the Arab Spring and the impact of Islamic democracy, "Spring Fever" is a must-read. It will challenge your preconceptions, provide an in-depth analysis of the realities in the Middle East, and ignite a much-needed dialogue on the urgent dangers facing the West.
