The House of Islam: The Case Against the Islam/Islamism Divide is the inaugural issue of The Ideological Defense Institute Journal, a new publication dedicated to examining the doctrines, movements, and ideological conflicts shaping the future of the West.

The volume examines:

  • The political and theological architecture of Islam

  • The historical invention and modern function of the term “Islamism”

  • Muhammad’s Medinan state as the enduring model of Islamic governance

  • Sharia, jihad, apostasy, and the limits of internal reform

  • Islamic antisemitism

  • Muslim parallel societies and no-go zones in Europe

  • The role of Western Muslim apologetics in preventing reform

  • Policy recommendations for defending open societies

The issue also includes extensive interviews with Robert Spencer and Andrew G. Bostom, and a a point-counterpoint exchange with Dr. Daniel Pipes, presenting sharply different perspectives.

Written by scholars, former Muslims, policy analysts, and individuals who have lived under Islam, The House of Islam offers a direct and uncompromising investigation of one of the most consequential ideological questions of our time.
