This is a really different story. I found it a little disturbing, as the thought of this Country becoming a Muslim State is disgusting.

Rated R.
Not an overly liberal use of profanity, but f-bombs are not the only bombs dropped. Some juvenile descriptions of bedroom liaisons as well. If you can avoid being offended by the occasional f-bomb, and not overly explicit "undercover" meetings, Ferrigno conjures up an interesting and fun alternate universe as a backdrop for the action and plot.

In one sense, the possibility of an Islamic America may be utter fantasy, but if you take a serious look around perhaps not completely unbelievable. It may not be the gaping maw of a cliff, but a slightly inclined, undetectable slippery slope.
- The influence of pop culture and an extremely liberal anti-traditional America media.
- The ignorance of what Islam actually means and teaches.
- Relativism of truth
- Tolerance (it's not the gun that kills, but the one who wields the gun)

What most impressed me, was the loss of what America stands for: Freedom.
