Philistine: The Great Deception (All about Arafat, PLO, Islam, lies etc..) (By Ramon Bennet)

I read the book from cover to cover....and breathed a sigh of relief that I was not seen reading it anywhere in the Middle East!! It is thoroughly well researched, with many quotes coming from Islamic writings, and other sources. In fact, the bibliography at the back of the book is extensive.

But its main thrust is staggering, in that it lays bare in a convincing manner....that Middle East history has been re-invented in a systematic and well crafted way, which the book claims has been made seductively palatable to an unsuspecting world. For me, the book went well beyond coffee-table conspiracy theory, and presented a stunning argument. But read it for yourself and make up your own mind.
