Jay Sekulow's recent book "Unholy Alliance: The Agenda Iran, Russia, and Jihadists Share for Conquering the World" reiterated much of what Americans and Europeans have seen and experienced over the past fifteen years, i.e., there's an element of radical Islamists seeking to attack Western democracies whenever and wherever they can. In the first part of the book, Sekulow discusses some of the basic tenants of Islam, the origins of the beliefs, and differences between Shiite and Sunni elements of Islam.
Sekulow emphasizes that Iran is a major source of hatred and a major supporter various radical elements throughout the Middle East, including Hamas and Hezbollah. And while the sub-title of the book includes a reference to Russia, it's only in the last ten percent of the book or so where Russia seems to be discussed, and then it's mostly in regard to Russia and Iran both working to support the Assad government in Syria.
Sekulow also makes the point that the Obama Administration's failure to stay engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan created a void in leadership in the area - a void subsequently filled by Iran and Russia. Because this book was written before the 2016 U.S. elections, Sekulow didn't discuss newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump, but it's apparent that he would be supportive of Trump's stated intention to take the fight to and quickly defeat ISIS and the terrorist Islamist elements.
Readers with an interest in this subject might also be interested in reading one or more of the following, which contain similar messages and warnings, but in a slightly better way: Ayaan Hirsi Ali's "Heretic"; Brigitte Gabriel's "They Must Be Stopped"; Kenneth Timmerman's "Preachers of Hate"; Geert Wilders' "Marked for Death: Islam's War Against the West and Me; Peter Bergen's "Holy War, Inc."; Glen Beck's "It IS About Islam"; "Milton Viorst's "Storm From the East"; Robert Baer's "The Devil We Know"; Michael Scheuer's "Marching Toward Hell"; Mark Steyn's "America Alone"; and George Friedman's "America's Secret War: Inside the Hidden Worldwide Struggle Between America and Its Enemies".

Informative, worth the read but far too much about Hamas...

There's nothing definitive about this.

Lacking in substantial information of ISIS' organizational structure, goals, means, and recent history, this work brushes over ISIS as AQI and goes at length on the potential threat to Israel. While this threat is real, not nearly enough attention is given to other nearby locales - particularly Iraq and Syria, surprisingly.

This is a book of propaganda. Not of fact. There's enough hard evidence to damn ISIS through discussion of its own actions and aspirations - why ignore that and pontificate on something tangentially related?
