Radical Eye for the Infidel Guy ─ Inside the Strange World of Militant Islam

Using what appears to be conceived of as an irreverent tone, movie adaptation author Ryan repackages the worst forms of academic Orientalism for a general audience in order to paint a picture of the entire Muslim world as irredeemably evil and bent on the destruction of all that is good and holy. Heavily reliant on such anti-Arab and anti-Islamic writers as Bernard Lewis and Raphael Patai and even more selective in the presentation of evidence, if that's possible, his volume is clearly not intended to educate, but instead is designed to whip up bigotry and hatred, presumably in support of American militarism in the Middle East.
