The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism (book)
Book with little notability and of highly questionnable credibility. Published by a vanity press. The title gets a limited number of Google hits mostly on forums, blogs and message boards and because his author gets some coverage as a Republican politician and a radio-show host. A previous debate resulted a year ago in a no consensus Articles for deletion/The Nazi Connection to Islamic Terrorism. I'd like to point out that the book fails to meet the proposed criteria for notability of books:
 * the author is not primarily known as an author,
 * the book has won no awards,
 * the book has not been the subject of multiple indepedent reviews. You do find, for instance a review by Samuel L. Blumenfeld although Blumenfeld is Morse's colleague at the WorldNetDaily [ http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/archives.asp?AUTHOR_ID=37&PAGE=4 ] and his coauthor on at least one book  so his independence is suspect. You can also find blogs mentioning the book or giving basic reviews but again these are not generally considered as reliable sources. Pascal.Tesson 19:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - oddly enough, the book doesn't show up in Worldcat's open search, but an audio version from Readings for the Blind and Dyslexic does. There may be something screwy with the worldcat database, but from what I can tell, both the audiobook and the book are in a total of ten libraries. See . GabrielF 02:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing the proposed WP:BK (which I know isn't policy, but it kinda helps in this sort of thing). The fact that it's of questionable accuracy shouldn't come into it, since a notable nutcase or a notable misconception remains notable. Given, however, that we appear to be dealing with a non-notable book to start with, then it's a deletion case. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 11:43, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
