Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Rethinking Islam, Katajun Amirpur argues that the West’s impression of Islam as a backward-looking faith, resistant to post-Enlightenment thinking, is misleading and—due to its effects on political discourse—damaging. Introducing readers to key thinkers and activists—such as Abu Zaid, a free-thinking Egyptian Qur’an scholar; Abdolkarim Soroush, an academic and former member of Khomeini’s Cultural Revolution Committee; and Amina Wadud, an American feminist who was the first woman to lead the faithful in Friday Prayer—Amirpur reveals a powerful yet lesser-known tradition of inquiry and dissent within Islam, one that is committed to democracy and human rights. By examining these and many other similar figures’ ideas, she reveals the many ways they reject fundamentalist assertions and instead call for a diversity of opinion, greater freedom, and equality of the sexes.

Book excerpt: Making sure that the Next Terror Attack does not affect You or Your Loved Ones ... With terrorist attacks increasing everyday, how can we prevent another 9 11 ? Are you Sick and tired of All that Fear and Hate? We defeated Smallpox, Malaria and Polio,but Only 'Love' can Cure the virus of Jihad. Dear Friend,I am Al Khidr, the Author of this Book.I am an ex Jihadi who left the violence and found peace. How I found Freedom from Jihad I was born in a devout Muslim family. My parents prayed 5 times a day and forced us children to do the same. The path of a Mujahid (the one who practices Jihad) was wide open before me. I went to an English school in the morning and a Madrasa (Islamic School) in the evening. I memorized many chapters of the Quran as part of my training. When I was still a teenager, I was forced by my father to commit a murder in the name of Allah. I have written a detailed account of this horrifying experience in the first chapter of this Book. As I matured, I saw the that the Mullahs and Politicians were using Islam to control and fleece the gullible Muslims for their selfish ends. I started wondering What part of Islam is made by Man and what part by Allah. Gradually over a period of decades, I moved away from those parts of Islam that were made by man and only followed what I considered to be the true and straight path.I found the peace and wisdom through which all fear of death and hell totally disappeared. As I mature further into the final phase of my life, I am inspired to share my freedom with others, to do my part in rescuing humanity from the grip of violent Jihad. That is the reason I have written this Book. - Al Khidr What is in the Book ? This Book shows how to convert Fear to Love, And how to move from Greed to Gratitude. It reveals the reason why good people get trapped into the ideology of violent Jihad, why it is wrong and how we can be free from it. You will find answers to all these questions in the Book What does the Quran say about the Crucifixion of Jesus and Why ? The Why is much more interesting than the What ! Does the Quran say that Muslims should not take any friends from among the Jews and Christians ? Does the Quran really order Muslims to "Slay the Unbelievers" ? Does the Quran direct Muslims to pray 5 times a day facing the Kaaba in Mecca ? The answer to this question will really surprise you. How many wars Muslims have fought with Non Muslims and How many wars Muslims have fought within themselves ? (Which Number do you think is Bigger ?) How many different Muslim Sects do we have today and how they differ from each other ? The Authentic Hadith report that only 1 in 1000 will go to heaven and only 1 sect out of 73 Muslim sects will go to Heaven. Which is that one ? Which is the Fastest Growing Religion on Earth and Why ? Why Muslims Demand Sharia Law ? How are the rights of Men and Women different under Sharia ? Why this Difference ? What is the Solution to Religious Extremism ? What is the Three Step Action Plan to Stop Jihad Dead in Its Tracks ? both Muslims and Non Muslims should take these Steps to save our world in a Nuclear Age. This book must be read by anyone who despises Terrorism in the Name of Islam as well as those who are attracted to the idea of Jihad because it exposes the true face of Jihad. Whether you are a Muslim or a Non Muslim, this Book will empower you to deal with the Problem of Jihad faced by both Muslims and Non Muslims in different ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jihad is one of the most loaded and misunderstood terms in the news today. Contrary to popular understanding, the term does not mean "holy war." Nor does it simply refer to the inner spiritual struggle. This book, judiciously balanced, accessibly written, and highly relevant to today's events, unravels the tangled historical, intellectual, and political meanings of jihad. Looking closely at a range of sources from sacred Islamic texts to modern interpretations, [This book] opens a critically important perspective on the role of Islam in the contemporary world. [The author] also describes some of the conflicts that occur in radical groups and shows how the more mainstream supporters of these groups have come to understand and justify violence.-Back cover.

Book excerpt: This booklet was compiled to refute the misconceived notions that Islam is a violent, brutal and intolerant religion which calls upon its followers to wage war, called jihad, against all non-Muslims, that Islam prohibits freedom of religion, and propagates its message by force, and that it does not tolerate any criticism of its teachings and urges Muslims to kill anyone who speaks against it. This book shows that: · Islam teaches Muslims to live in peace with all others in the world, tolerating religious differences. · It recognises for everyone the freedom to believe in and practise whatever religion they wish. · It requires Muslims to show self-restraint and patience in the face of verbal abuse of their religion. · It deplores any kind of violent attack on the general public of any country, innocently going about their daily business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jihad vs. McWorld is a groundbreaking work, an elegant and illuminating analysis of the central conflict of our times: consumerist capitalism versus religious and tribal fundamentalism. These diametrically opposed but strangely intertwined forces are tearing apart--and bringing together--the world as we know it, undermining democracy and the nation-state on which it depends. On the one hand, consumer capitalism on the global level is rapidly dissolving the social and economic barriers between nations, transforming the world's diverse populations into a blandly uniform market. On the other hand, ethnic, religious, and racial hatreds are fragmenting the political landscape into smaller and smaller tribal units. Jihad vs. McWorld is the term that distinguished writer and political scientist Benjamin R. Barber has coined to describe the powerful and paradoxical interdependence of these forces. In this important new book, he explores the alarming repercussions of this potent dialectic for democracy. A work of persuasive originality and penetrating insight, Jihad vs. McWorld holds up a sharp, clear lens to the dangerous chaos of the post-Cold War world. Critics and political leaders have already heralded Benjamin R. Barber's work for its bold vision and moral courage. Jihad vs. McWorld is an essential text for anyone who wants to understand our troubled present and the crisis threatening our future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, fighters from abroad have journeyed in ever-greater numbers to conflict zones in the Muslim world to defend Islam from-in their view-infidels and apostates. The phenomenon recently reached its apogee in Syria, where the foreign fighter population quickly became larger and more diverse than in any previous conflict. In Road Warriors, Daniel Byman provides a sweeping history of the jihadist foreign fighter movement. He begins by chronicling the movement's birth in Afghanistan, its growing pains in Bosnia and Chechnya, and its emergence as a major source of terrorism in the West in the 1990s, culminating in the 9/11 attacks. Since that bloody day, the foreign fighter movement has seen major ups and downs. It rode high after the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, when the ultra-violent Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) attracted thousands of foreign fighters. AQI overreached, however, and suffered a crushing defeat. Demonstrating the resilience of the movement, however, AQI reemerged anew during the Syrian civil war as the Islamic State, attracting tens of thousands of fighters from around the world and spawning the bloody 2015 attacks in Paris among hundreds of other strikes. Although casualty rates are usually high, the survivors of Afghanistan, Syria, and other fields of jihad often became skilled professional warriors, going from one war to the next. Still others returned to their home countries, some to peaceful retirement but a deadly few to conduct terrorist attacks. Over time, both the United States and Europe have learned to adapt. Before 9/11, volunteers went to and fro to Afghanistan and other hotspots with little interference. Today, the United States and its allies have developed a global program to identify, arrest, and kill foreign fighters. Much remains to be done, however-jihadist ideas and networks are by now deeply embedded, even as groups such as Al Qaeda and the Islamic State rise and fall. And as Byman makes abundantly clear, the problem is not likely to go away any time soon.

Book excerpt: This book is not like hundreds of books written by Islamic writers denying any relation between Islam and terrorism. Nor it is like other books written by wsome Western writers who try by any means to connect between Islam and terrorism. Depending on the ideology of the Islamic reformer Mahmoud Mohammed Taha (1909-1985), that distinguishes between the spirit of Islam and the letter of Islamic laws (Shari'a), the book criticized the concept of Jihad as being a temporary branch and not a permanent origin of Islam. Islamic fanatic groups justified attacking the WTC and killing thousands of innocent people by the idea of Jihad. What if Muslims know that the prophet Muhammad did not even defend himself or his followers for the first thirteen years of his mission? During that period he was laying the original revelation in which people are free to be believers or disbelievers. God Said in the Qur'an: Say: the truth is from your Lord; so let whosoever will believe, ad let whosoever will disbelieve..." (18: 29). But the Arabs at the seven century were not capable of enduring this standard and they conspired against the prophet to kill him. The standard of freedom of belief was abrogated by the standard of Jihad after the prophet migrated to Medina. I order for Muslims to be accepted by God they have to revive the origin of their religion that praises the human being and sustains he freedom of belief. This means abolishing Jihad because our modern society which accepted human rights will not comprehend forcing other into any kind of creed. Peace is the heart of Islam though it has been covered for a long time with the Shari'a which was suitable for that ancient society just as peace is suitablefor out time. This book illustrates how and why the spirit of Islam should be revived for the benefit of humanity as a whole.

Book excerpt: The word "jihad" is everywhere in the global media. It generally appears in the context of violence waged against the West by militants in or from Muslim-majority societies. This usage overwhelmingly colors popular discourse about Islam and Muslims and it has resulted in highly simplistic,distorted, and ahistorical understandings of the concept of jihad. For most Muslims, jihad refers to the continuous human struggle to promote and implement what is morally good and noble in all walks of life, as well as to resist and prevent what is morally wrong and unjust. This book addresses thegreat need for a discussion of jihad that explores its various dimensions without fear-mongering or sensationalism. Here it is examined from multiple perspectives: scriptural, theological, moral and ethical, legal and socio-political. Asma Afsaruddin looks at the key questions about jihad andprovides concise yet thorough answers. Jihad: What Everyone Needs to KnowRG provides a historically-grounded, scholarly yet accessible treatment of the meanings of jihad from the formative period of Islam until the contemporary period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking investigation into why so many Islamic radicals are engineers The violent actions of a few extremists can alter the course of history, yet there persists a yawning gap between the potential impact of these individuals and what we understand about them. In Engineers of Jihad, Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog uncover two unexpected facts, which they imaginatively leverage to narrow that gap: they find that a disproportionate share of Islamist radicals come from an engineering background, and that Islamist and right-wing extremism have more in common than either does with left-wing extremism, in which engineers are absent while social scientists and humanities students are prominent. Searching for an explanation, they tackle four general questions about extremism: Under which socioeconomic conditions do people join extremist groups? Does the profile of extremists reflect how they self-select into extremism or how groups recruit them? Does ideology matter in sorting who joins which group? Lastly, is there a mindset susceptible to certain types of extremism? Using rigorous methods and several new datasets, they explain the link between educational discipline and type of radicalism by looking at two key factors: the social mobility (or lack thereof) for engineers in the Muslim world, and a particular mindset seeking order and hierarchy that is found more frequently among engineers. Engineers' presence in some extremist groups and not others, the authors argue, is a proxy for individual traits that may account for the much larger question of selective recruitment to radical activism. Opening up markedly new perspectives on the motivations of political violence, Engineers of Jihad yields unexpected answers about the nature and emergence of extremism.

Book excerpt: The real threat to the United States is not terrorism. The real threat is the sophisticated forces of Islamism, which have collaborated with the American Left not only to undermine U.S. national security, but to shred the fabric of American constitutional democracy—freedom and individual liberty. In The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, bestselling author Andrew C. McCarthy provides a harrowing account of how the global Islamist movement’s jihad involves far more than terrorist attacks, and how it has found the ideal partner in President Barack Obama, whose Islamist sympathies run deep. McCarthy is the former federal prosecutor who convicted the notorious “Blind Sheikh” and other jihadists for waging a terrorist war that included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In his national bestseller, Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad (Encounter 2008), he explored government’s conscious avoidance of the terrorist threat, which made the nation vulnerable to mass-murder attacks. In The Grand Jihad, he exposes a more insidious peril: government’s active concealment of the Islamist ideology that unabashedly vows to “conquer America.” With the help of witting and unwitting accomplices in and out of government, Islamism doesn’t merely fuel terrorism but spawns America-hating Islamic enclaves in our midst and gradually foists Islam’s repressive law, sharia, on American life. The revolutionary doctrine has made common cause with an ascendant Left that also seeks radical transformation of our constitutional order. The prognosis for liberty could not be more dire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Andrew G. Bostom expands upon his two previous groundbreaking compendia, The Legacy of Jihad and The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism, with this collection of his own recent essays on Sharia - Islamic law. The book elucidates, unapologetically, Sharia's defining Islamic religious principles and the consequences of its application across space and time, focusing upon contemporary illustrations. A wealth of unambiguous evidence is marshaled, distilled, and analyzed, including: objective, erudite studies of Sharia by leading scholars of Islam; the acknowledgment of Sharia's global "resurgence," even by contemporary academic apologists for Islam; an abundance of recent polling data from Muslim nations and Muslim immigrant communities in the West confirming the ongoing, widespread adherence to Sharia's tenets; the plaintive warnings and admonitions of contemporary Muslim intellectuals - freethinkers and believers, alike - about the incompatibility of Sharia with modern, Western-derived conceptions of universal human rights; and the overt promulgation by authoritative, mainstream international and North American Islamic religious and political organizations of traditional, Sharia-based Muslim legal systems as an integrated whole (i.e., extending well beyond mere "family-law aspects" of Sharia). Johannes J. G. Jansen, Professor for Contemporary Islamic Thought Emeritus at Utrecht University, says this book "will prove sobering to even staunch optimists."
