Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a moment of idle curiosity, Musa tries on the modest garb of a Muslim woman to experience for himself what it's like to be veiled. While this causes much mirth among his fellow students at the Madrasah, the elders are not amused, viewing Musa's experimentation as a prank too far. Back at home he must conform to family life and face the prospect of an arranged marriage. Cleverly, the family patriarch, Dadaji, offers him a deal: a month of days to find himself a bride or else Musa must accept Dadaji's own choice. And so the race is on for Musa, a devout Muslim and gentle idealist, who dreams of a perfect companion but despairs of ever finding her. When his siblings and friends step in to help, their efforts lead both to hilarity and outrage but soon the dark side of tradition rears its ugly head...A brilliant debut.

Book Synopsis The Bin Laden Papers by : Nelly Lahoud
Download or read book The Bin Laden Papers written by Nelly Lahoud and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at al-Qaeda from 9/11 to the death of its founder—told through the words of Bin Laden and his closest circle As seen on 60 Minutes “A comprehensive, meticulously constructed and eye-opening look at bin Laden as husband, father and leader-in-hiding. . . . An engaging and persuasive read.”—Karen J. Greenberg, Washington Post “Never less than gripping. . . . [Offers] an extraordinary insight into the inner workings of al-Qaeda, both before and after 9/11, and lays bare the terrorist organisation’s closely guarded plans, ambitions and frustrations.”—Saul David, Sunday Telegraph Usama Bin Laden’s greatest fear was not capture or death but the exposure of al-Qaeda’s secrets. At great risk to themselves and the entire mission, the U.S. Special Operations Forces, who carried out the Abbottabad raid that killed Bin Laden, took an additional eighteen minutes to collect Bin Laden’s hard drives and thereby expose al-Qaeda’s secrets. In this groundbreaking book, Nelly Lahoud dives into Bin Laden’s files and meticulously distills the nearly 6,000 pages of Arabic private communications. For the first time, al-Qaeda’s closely guarded secrets are laid bare, shattering misconceptions and revealing how and what Bin Laden communicated with his associates, his plans for future attacks, and al-Qaeda’s hostility toward countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan. Lahoud presents firsthand accounts of al-Qaeda from 9/11 until the elimination of Bin Laden, in his own words and those of his family and closest associates.

Book excerpt: In the 17th century, Shabtai Zvi was a name to reckon with. A man of strong passions and mesmerizing personality, he convinced many that he was the Jewish Messiah. But his thirst for power - his conviction that anything he wanted could be his - was his downfall. The Ottoman authorities, rattled by Shabtai's extreme statements and the unrest of the Jewish population, arrested him in 1666, forced him to convert to Islam, and in 1673 banished him. In contemporary Toronto, Shabtai's legacy lives on. Donald May, a disgraced professor, becomes enamoured of Shabtai's Kabbalistic philosophy. Like Shabtai, he has a thirst for admiration and a moral compass that doesn't always run true. But unlike his hero, he may have a chance for redemption. This novel interweaves the lives of the two men, painting a vivid picture of the Ottoman Empire in the 1600s alongside the life of a contemporary man who struggles between desires of the flesh and the life of the mind....

Book Synopsis The Arabs at War in Afghanistan by : Mustafa Hamid
Download or read book The Arabs at War in Afghanistan written by Mustafa Hamid and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former senior mujahidin figure and an ex-counter-terrorism analyst cooperating to write a book on the history and legacy of Arab-Afghan fighters in Afghanistan is a remarkable and improbable undertaking. Yet this is what Mustafa Hamid, aka Abu Walid al-Masri, and Leah Farrall have achieved with the publication of their ground-breaking work. The result of thousands of hours of discussions over several years, The Arabs at War in Afghanistan offers significant new insights into the history of many of today's militant Salafi groups and movements. By revealing the real origins of the Taliban and al-Qaeda and the jostling among the various jihadi groups, this account not only challenges conventional wisdom, but also raises uncomfortable questions as to how events from this important period have been so badly misconstrued.
Book Synopsis Empire and Tribe in the Afghan Frontier Region by : Hugh Beattie
Download or read book Empire and Tribe in the Afghan Frontier Region written by Hugh Beattie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waziristan, a region on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, has in recent years become a flash point in the so-called 'War on Terror'. Hugh Beattie looks at the history of this region, examining British attempts to manage the tribes from 1849 until Pakistan's declaration of independence in 1947. He explores British attempts to divide the frontier region into separate British and Afghan spheres of influence. In the minds of British policymakers, this demarcation would secure the position of the Empire, and so Beattie highlights the various policy initiatives towards the frontier region over the period in question. Crucially, he analyses how the British perceived the local tribes, what constituted authority within tribal frameworks, and the military and political ramifications of these perceptions. As he also explores the contemporary relevance of this region, taking into account the resurgence of the Taliban in Waziristan, Beattie's analysis is vital for those interested in the history and security implications of the Afghan frontier with Pakistan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An act of war reverberates through the life of a young man who flees his homeland of Afghanistan after its occupation by the Red Army in 1979. He finds refuge in the United States, forging a new path as a medical doctor, building a family, and embracing his admiration for his adoptive country, albeit with reservations lingering in the depths of his heart. However, the world changes dramatically on 9/11, ushering in a new era for him and his fellow Americans, albeit in divergent ways. As the United States engages in successive military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, his affection for America begins to wane. Through his firsthand experiences as a volunteer surgeon in these war-torn nations, he witnesses the devastating consequences of conflict, and his disillusionment with his adopted homeland deepens. Amidst this mounting disenchantment, a question looms: Will he be driven to take action? As the protagonist grapples with the profound disillusionment that has settled within him, the reader is swept along a thought-provoking journey. With nuance and subtle introspection, the novel explores the complex nature of war and its transformative power, immersing readers in a tale that delves into the depths of one man’s shifting allegiance and the weighty choices that lie ahead.

Book excerpt: With deeply vivid storytelling that delves into the symbiotic Hindu-Muslim relationship shared across the Indian sub-continent prior to the ending of the British Raj, Tales from Birehra is a unique and truly compelling narrative. Birehra is a fictional microcosm of the country and times-a tiny village, shared peacefully by people of different faiths, and shaped by four hundred years of life lived close to the land and guided by the rhythms of the seasons. Could it really all be washed away by the looming tide of an evolving political climate, so far removed from their simple yet time-honoured existence? Could such a thing even be possible, when Birehra's roots run so deep, anchoring it to the land and the heart of a people? With vivid scenery, and characters who seem to breathe with colourful life, Rafi Mustafa draws his readers into the culture he describes, making them treasure its simple joys and dread its looming devastation....
