Not heart-friendly?

It has been brought to my attention that at the [1] Amazon.com site for my new book The Myth of Islamic Tolerance, there is this listing:

"Philips HeartStart Home Automated External Defibrillator"? Does the prospect of Islamic intolerance and the institutions of jihad and dhimmitude give some of you heart palpitations? Should the book come with a warning label: "Not for the weak of heart"?

Well, if so, I apologize. But it's true: in this book, the essays by Bat Ye'or, Ibn Warraq, Walid Phares, Daniel Pipes, Mark Durie and others, as well as the UN material contain hard truths, not for the faint of heart. Maybe that's why so few among the government and media have faced them. And that's all the more why it's so essential that they be faced.
