Try Howard Bloom's Lucipher Principle, chiefly the chapter on Islam's War
Against the West. See it or some of it here:

luddite+religious fanatic+violent militant=muslim
According to Bloom due to the militant teachings of the Quran, chiefly the
passages referring to not allowing an infidel to live, not even moderate muslims
can be trusted. Their apologists will say Islam teaches against violence...
unless it is jihad. The trouble is, it's far too easy to cry jihad at the drop
of a hat, for anything under the sun!
To me all religion must go. It will go two milliseconds after an augmented
populace goes online and the average human's brain power and logic acuity
increases even a little. Will we survive long enough in the face of the rise of
Islam? That is the question.
