American Taliban: How War, Sex, Sin, and Power Bind Jihadists and the Radical Right by Moulitsas, Markos. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781936227020.

“We all agree with the Taliban.”—Rush Limbaugh, October 9, 2009 America’s primary international enemy—Islamic radicalism—insists on government by theocracy, curtails civil liberties, embraces torture, represses women, wants to eradicate homosexuals from society, and insists on the use of force over diplomacy. Remind you of a certain American political party? In American Taliban, Markos Moulitsas pulls no punches as he compares how the Republican Party and Islamic radicals maintain similar worldviews and tactics. Moutlitsas also challenges the media, fellow progressives, and our elected officials to call the radical right on their jihadist tactics more forcefully for the good of our nation and safety of all citizens.
