The Day of Islam ─ The Annihilation of America and the Western World

The "Day of Islam" to which Williams (director of Christian Relations for the ultra-Zionist group B'nai Elim) refers in this text is apparently the day when Islamic radicals turn "America into a sea of deadly radiation." He warns that this day is fast approaching in this fearmongering work that argues that Al Qaeda already has nuclear material and detonation devices obtained from Sudan and Russia, maintained with the aid of A.Q. Khan (the Pakistani nuclear scientist) and his network. He also describes domestic Muslims as a threat, describing Islamic paramilitary compounds spread through the United States. He further points the finger at Iran as another source of alarm and argues that the Lebanese nationalist Shia group, Hezbollah, is working with Al Qaeda, the radical Sunni group, in South America. Many of his claims are extraordinary, to say the least, and therefore require solid evidence; but much of the material is poorly or dubiously sourced. Perhaps indicative of the larger arguments, he maintains his charges concerning the theft of large amounts of nuclear material from McMaster University's nuclear reactor, even as his former publisher (WND Books/Cumberland House Publishing) has described them as "without basis in fact," and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission stated that "We can confirm that there has never been a report of any nuclear material that has been lost or stolen from McMaster's reactor."
