&quot;The New World of Islam&quot;, written in 1921 by America&rsquo;s foremost racial thinker Lothrop Stoddard, was the first work to warn the West of the Islamic revival which started in the nineteenth century and which would find its expression in the mass immigration and Islamic extremism to which the world has been subjected since the 1980s.<br /><br />It provides an accurate history of Islam from its founding, initial blooming and sophistication, to its decline into drudgery and the dominance of the Ottoman Turks.<br /><br />Lothrop Stoddard explains the roots of the Wahabbist revival and the spring of Arab, Indian, and Middle Eastern nationalism unleashed as a result of World War I, and warns that these events have set Islam in motion once again to start a reconquest of the globe for that religion.
