In two previous books, Osama's Revenge and The Al Qaeda Connection, seasoned investigative reporter Paul Williams revealed the alarming potential for nuclear terrorism on U.S. soil and the sinister connections among organized crime, illegal immigrants, and al Qaeda. Now, Williams broadens his focus beyond al Qaeda to provide readers with newly uncovered information on terrorist activities in Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, other Muslim countries--and our neighbor Canada! What emerges is a harrowing picture of international terrorist activities, all aimed at the destruction of the United States and the collapse of the Western world. This cataclysm will usher in "the Day of Islam," the dream of radical Muslims to see all of humankind fall in submission before the throne of Allah. Based on the "forgotten testimony" of the FBI's "Confidential Source One," as well as other sources, Williams first presents evidence of Osama Bin Laden's purchase of highly enriched uranium in Sudan and nuclear devices from the Chechens and the Russian Mafia. He then offers further information on the workings of Pakistani scientists and technicians from the A. Q. Khan Research Facility to maintain and upgrade al Qaeda's "bespoke nukes" (with explosive yields in excess of ten kilotons) for the "American Hiroshima." This information comes with empirical proof that should dispel any doubts that these weapons not only have been developed but have also been forward-deployed from the seaport at Karachi to strategic locations within the Western world. Keeping the focus on Pakistan, he predicts a nightmarish scenario if President Pervez Musharref should be overthrown and his arsenal of sixty-eight nuclear weapons falls into the hands of radical mullahs. Williams also examines the role of the Iranians both in sponsoring terrorism and in planning the American Hiroshima. In addition, he uncovers many unreported and startling accounts of the terrorist activities of Hezbollah in America and presents evidence that the marriage between Hezbollah and al Qaeda has been consummated. Finally, he presents intelligence showing that grave threats to America come, not from just our southern border, but from Canada and its amazingly open policies regarding radical Islam. The greatest threat of all, he concludes, comes from within --not only from the radical mosques within every major American city but also the Islamic paramilitary compounds in rural areas throughout the country, including Islamberg in New York State, where new recruits are trained for the great jihad against the United States under the very nose of FBI and Homeland Security officials.

Sure to be controversial, this shocking exposé sends a wake-up to Americans lulled into a false sense of security in the post-9/11 era.

Harrowing

Other reviewers have pounced on Williams for a few misstatements on relatively minor points. These commentators unfortunately miss the forest for the trees.

Here, Williams has provided a collection of extremely well documented facts concerning al Qaeda's purchases of a dozen or so suitcase sized nuclear devices and highly refined, weapons grade uranium--- to which most of the deficient mainstream press has given scant attention.

The general New Orleans population knew for over 30 years before Hurricane Katrina that Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain levees were old, weak, and desperately in need of reinforcement. But in 1977, Louisiana environmentalists defeated a long-planned, strategic U.S. Army Corps of Engineers overhaul of the system that would have included floodgates at two critical junctures to shore up the city against a Class 5 Hurricane and Gulf of Mexico storm surges that could otherwise inundate it---which, eventually, they did.

Today, the mainstream press, pays as little attention to both the basic Islamic theology underpinning al Qaeda ideology and the weapons it has amassed as it did to the the pending disaster that ultimately struck New Orleans.

And in a very sound analogy, Williams draws exactly this comparison. For it is well known in security circles that al Qaeda does have nuclear weapons, and does intend to use them. And it does not require a rocket scientist to determine the extent of the danger.

Yet, as Williams skillfully points out, supposedly competent journalists have totally bungled the story, lulling the American public and the West into believing the danger is far smaller than it really is.

This book should frighten all Americans, regardless of their religious or political persuasions. Beginning with the introduction of Jamal Ahmed al-Fadl, a disgruntled Somali al Qaeda informer (not mentioned even once by the 9/11 Commission), Williams methodically exposes the means by which al Qaeda acquired these arms---with help from Chechen Muslims, underpaid Russian soldiers, Spetsnaz security men, drug cartels, corrupt businessmen and former Soviet officials after the USSR meltdown.

Readers should find especially alarming how lax journalists have been about reporting the warnings of the late Russian General Alexander Lebed (and many others) concerning several dozens of special briefcase sized atomic warheads---perhaps even 100 or more---gone missing since 1992. Williams analyzes one particularly harrowing account in exacting detail: former Wall Street Journal and London Sunday Times reporter Richard Miniter's aptly titled book, Disinformation ---falsely claiming (without attribution) that experts had "authoritatively dismissed" the fact that a small nuclear device can be set off by a single person. Williams exactingly proves otherwise.

As a writer covering shari'a banking and terror financing, among other related subjects, I must unfortunately confirm alarming lack of education in the mainstream press on basic Islamic theology, ideology, war doctrine, tactics, technology and funding.

Williams' few and minor errors are entirely forgivable.

General press ignorance on these subjects, and the general press failure to attempt to report them correctly, are not.

"I will be patient until I outpatient Patience."--bin Laden's favorite Islamic verse.

This excellent book summarizes Islamic terrorism from the early 90's to 2007. It shows the often stated aim of destroying Western Civilization and replacing it with Islamic rule of the most fundamental nature.
It goes into great deal covering the leaders and the actions they have taken so far.It covers the training of terrorists in many countries and how these terrorists have spread to all the countries in the western hemisplere. It gives extensive details on how nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction have been obtained,the number involved and who the individuals were who aided in their spread. The book explains how this terrorism is funded.
It goes into great detail on the manufacture of small,suitcase sized,nuclear devices,the number that have been manufactured,how they have been stolen or purchased ,and how they are now distributed in several countries;and readily available by terrorist cells ,to be used whenever they feel the time is right.
There have been many terrorist attacks already,and if 9/11 hadn't taken place,many believe it would not have been possible.This book will show you that ,what we have been subjected to,is but the tip of the iceberg;and far greater attacks are planned,the weapons and operatives are already in place;just waiting for the orders to unlease the an unimaginable series of attacks.
The author does not just outline a series of speculations. He reviews ,with names,locations and dates what has already taken place aad what is already planned for the future.Every item discussed is backed up with references that are there to confirm his statements.
If you have any knowledge of the events that took place in the 1920's and 1930's that led up to WWII,this book should convince you,that WWII was a cakewalk compared to what is being put into place by Islam today. Tanks and fighter bombers of WWII vintage were toys compared to WMD's and suitcase size,nuclear weapons that can be transported ,and operated by one terrorist ;and on top of that are most likely already widely distributed.
It is no longer a matter of if,now,but when.

Boy Scouts' Motto: "BE PREPARED!" Day of Islam

Through his 14 chapters, Dr. Paul Williams is a master at bringing together hundreds of references in such a way that the reader KNOWS there will be nuclear attacks on US soil. As in 911, the al-Qaida are very patient and determined to eradicate WE American "infidels" at all cost. The reader is therefore for-warned to prepare to be totally independent of the usual support services, such as store-bought food, water, electricity, transportation, health care and electronic media. The author has given us a 'wake-up call" for more severe circumstances than the 911 event. The "Day of Islam" should be required reading for all US citizens.

Valid theme obscured by hyperbole and poor fact checking

If Paul Williams had a very good editor and a competent fact-checker, this could have been a great and much-needed book.

Williams' theme is the intent of certain Islamic groups to wreak havoc on Western nations, particularly the United States. He claims that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda has already amassed and continues to acquire nuclear devices of various kinds to accomplish this nefarious purpose.

The problem I have with Williams is his hyperbolic style and inattention to fact-checking. For example, in one chapter, he refers to the C-130 as a "giant" cargo plane. While it is the workhorse of the U.S. and other airforces around the world, it cannot be fairly considered a "giant" freight hauler. Williams also refers to "Reuter" as an American news agency. Reuters is British. Small things, but if an author is wrong in small things, why should he be taken unquestioningly in larger matters?

Rational people know that Williams is right on several counts. There is no question that certain Islamic movements consider mass murder to be a legitimate means to advance their cause and Williams reprints the chilling fatwa of Nasir bin Hamd al-Fahd to support his argument. Not only have the popular media carried many stories of attempts by al Qaeda and others to acquire nuclear materials, but there has been much testimony before the U.S. Congress as well on the issue. There is, unfortunately, the very real possibility that the U.S. or some other nation will be attacked at some time with a nuclear weapon.

Unfortunately Williams does not stick to this point. He instead casts too broadly to support his case and brings in much superfluous material on the terrorist network. After a while, his points become diffuse and even confusing.

One chapter in particular though is striking and that is about how Canada has become a sanctuary for alleged Islamic terrorists and how frighteningly easy it is for them to enter the US from Canada. To me that was probably the scariest chapter in the book.

Overall, it is regrettable that Williams did not have a better editor and more stringent fact checking. I think he was a story to tell and a frightening one at that. But in its present state, I don't think many will find "The Day Of Islam" to be convincing and that is unfortunate.
