RUSH: In the last couple days I\u2019ve been talking about books that I think you should get, Steve Moore\u2019s got a great new book on taxes<\/a>. Megyn Kelly\u2019s husband, Doug Brunt, has his new novel: Ghosts of Manhattan<\/a>. Ann Coulter: Mugged<\/a>. My good friend Andy McCarthy has this book called Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy<\/a>. Andy was on the prosecutorial team (with Patrick Fitzgerald, by the way) that prosecuted the blind sheik for the first World Trade Center bombing and other assorted crimes, Omar Abdel Rahman.<\/p>\n

Andy\u2019s book is called Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy. He\u2019s reticent about promoting it because it\u2019s so relevant to what\u2019s going on, and he feels it\u2019s unseemly to be hyping a book which could be accused of taking advantage of what\u2019s going on. So let me tell you about this book. We\u2019ve been talking about this the past two weeks and especially this week intensely as it relates to Benghazi and our policy there and why it\u2019s a debacle and a disaster.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The premise of this book, Spring Fever, is the Arab Spring is not an outbreak of democracy. It is instead the ascendancy of Islamic supremacism, meaning freedom\u2019s cold, dark winter. This is not an outbreak of wonderfully flowering democracy in the Middle East. This is the rise to power of… The Muslim Brotherhood, Benghazi, Libya, whatever else is going on. What\u2019s happening is the rise to power of America\u2019s enemies, who are Islamic supremacists.<\/p>\n

They are Sharia law believers who want to enact it everywhere they can. See, what\u2019s happening in the Middle East is causing real pain for a number of our fellow Americans and their families. Real pain. We\u2019ve got four Americans dead. You\u2019ve heard the tape of one mother we played yesterday. She can\u2019t get a straight story from the regime about how her son died and why.<\/p>\n

Andy makes the case in the book that we\u2019re in the midst here of a web of deceit, governmental recklessness and dishonesty that is resulting in average Americans and their families paying the personal price for the embarrassing incompetence of Obama policy. He\u2019s reticent to go out and do appearances and try to say, “See, I told you so! I told you!” But the book is an accurate portrayal of exactly what\u2019s happening in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

And it explains why our policy, why Obama\u2019s policy, is in no way effective and doesn\u2019t have a chance of being because Obama\u2019s policy totally misunderstands what is happening. In fact, Obama is largely responsible for what is happening! That\u2019s what makes this so outrageous. So I wanted to mention Andy\u2019s book along with all the others. It\u2019s called Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy.<\/p>\n

And this is important because Obama and the Democrats are trying to tell us that there\u2019s a new breed of Islam now. It\u2019s the Muslim Brotherhood and they\u2019re our buddies, Jim Clapper, James Clapper, the security guy in the White House (summarized), “Hey, the Muslim Brotherhood, they\u2019re no different than the guys at the corner barbershop! They\u2019re our buddies. They\u2019re a bunch of secularists.”<\/p>\n

No way is that true.<\/p>\n

So I wanted to mention it to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
