Brad Thor writes action adventure stories, largely directed to men, in which our hero tosses Islamic terrorists out of cars, pummels them, kneecaps them, threatens their wives and children with torture to obtain timely information from their terrorist husbands, and generally behaves as we would like to Islamic terrorists, without scruple or diffidence. In short, well written “penny dreadfuls“.
Tiring of high-minded discussion of morality and evolution, fatigued by discussions of Edmund Burke versus Thomas Paine, bored by the evolutionary implications of religion, Brad Thor was a welcome diversion.
One of the great things about Brad Thor books is that he writes what everyone knows or believes about Islam, and cannot say in more respectable venues:
- Jihad is essential to Islam
- moderate Muslims (in other words, sensible human beings) are failing in their religious duty to kill us
- they are intent on colonizing us, not adapting to us
- jihadists consider non-Muslims sub-human chattel
- any Muslim may decide to fulfil his religious duty to wage religious war at any time
- There is no such thing as “radicalization”; it is only a matter of hearing the call “dawa” and off the young man goes to Syria, or London, to take up the cause of holy war against the infidels.
Observing this, my wife commented, “that is why in tyrannies they are as much concerned with fiction as with facts. They do not want literature to discuss feelings, thoughts, or perceptions that go against the official line.”
Thor is available in airports everywhere.
