Militant Islam Reaches America is a book written by historian Daniel Pipes on "Islamic fundamentalism", or militant Islam. In 1995 Daniel Pipes remarked : "Unnoticed by most Westerners, war has been unilaterally declared on Europe and the United States." It was published in 2002.

When asked why the radicals attack the United States? the author answered: It's in the nature of all totalitarian movements, all radical utopian movements, like the Fascists, the Communists, and now the Islamists, that sooner or later they get the United States in their sights as the most dangerous enemy they have.

And we're dangerous by virtue of who we are, not necessarily what we do. By our democracy, our individualism, our consumerism, our commercialism. And totalitarians can't abide that because, among other things, it is an enormous temptation for their own people. So they have to get rid of it.
