On the front–lines with the building of Al Queda forces in Indonesia both before and after 9/11, written in provocative style by the former Asia bureau chief for Newsweek International. In Allah's Torch, National Geographic's Tracy Dahlby takes readers into the sprawling, porous, virtually lawless domain of Indonesia, where overlapping lines of radical Islamic rage are now converging in Asia, posing new threats to Westerners at home and abroad. From the moment the adventure begins, the night the author blunders on board an Indonesian passenger ship with 600 Islamic warriors on an anti–Christian jihad, readers glimpse the passions, politics and personalities fuelling radical Islam's relentless march. We listen as Koran–thumping preachers, hardened holy warriors and fresh–faced recruits, police investigators, military commandos, and spies try to make sense of the epidemic chaos that threatens the region – and now the world beyond. Based on reporting both before and after September 11, Allah's Torch is an action–packed and thought–provoking narrative that enables readers to see the face of Islamic terror more clearly and assess the threat for themselves.
“Nothing will be the same again.” Americans scarred by the experience of 9/11 often express this sentiment. But what remains the same, argues Jack Shaheen, is Hollywood’s stereotyping of Arabs. In his new book about films made after 9/11, Shaheen finds that nearly all of Hollywood’s post-9/11 films legitimize a view of Arabs as stereotyped villains and the use of Arabs and Muslims as shorthand for the “Enemy” or “Other.” Along with an examination of a hundred recent movies, Shaheen addresses the cultural issues at play since 9/11: the government’s public relations campaigns to win “hearts and minds” and the impact of 9/11 on citizens and on the imagination. He suggests that winning the “war on terror” would take shattering the centuries-old stereotypes of Arabs, and frames the solutions needed to begin to tackle the problem and to change the industry and culture at large.
The Perfect Book is a scientific-religious book that reveals great unprecedented facts about where Allah was before the beginning of this world, how He began it, and the true theories related to the origin of the universe and the creation of everything. These facts and theories are discussed in a well-organized and logical order that challenges the religious heritage underlying human thought for centuries, to make it easier for the readers to understand the secrets of the earliest days of this universe.One of the most important scientific facts covered in this book is that the first thing created was water, then the Divine Throne, inside which an atomic body was created in a heterogeneous, unstable state that did not allow such orderly and sophisticated patterns of atoms to make chemical reactions or produce chemical elements. Then, that primordial body was parted, and its atoms formed the elements in the heavens and the earth, from which the bodies of creatures were created. Finally, Allah gave souls by breathing or ordering to these bodies to make them living beings.The book contains an illustration of how the universe looked after it was created in 14 days and how it is surrounded by water, above which lies the Divine Throne.The book shows that the ancient Egyptians were the first to discover atoms and the role of carbon in the life of everything. They were skillful at transforming staffs and ropes into activated carbon that could attract dust just as a magnet attracts iron, so the staffs and ropes would look as if turning into moving snakes when thrown on the ground. Prophet Moses brought for them the Message of Torah, which revolved around atoms, the source of everything, to show them that their atomic knowledge was only a reflection of Allah's Power over creation, by ordering Moses' staff to turn into a real snake.The book scientifically differentiates between the human self (soul) and the human Spirit ; clarifies that the human self (soul) has its own senses, and heart; and explains the concepts of death and lesser death, how the Spirit works with the body in the life, and how it works with human self after lesser death.The book discusses how Prophet Solomon could communicate with the jinn, birds, the mountains, and the wind; the Gospel as a Divine Message focused on the soul of living beings and how it is given by Allah; how Prophet Jesus was created with the power to breathe life into a clay bird, with the Permission of Allah.Only this book can tell you about the language used by Prophet Jesus and in which the Gospel was revealed to the Children of Israel, as well as the phases of human life from childhood to elderliness, and the two types of carbon that affect these phases.The book concludes with an assertion that challenges the claim of moon landing: The moon is composed of glassy carbon (a type of carbon that becomes glassy when exposed to a direct source of heat in the absence of elements that can react with it, particularly oxygen and hydrogen). As such, it is impossible for anything to approach or touch the surface of the moon, because the atoms of lunar carbon are excited by the absorbed solar energy, which causes it to send light to the earth. Also, one of its hemispheres is hot and activated, while the other is melted down and hot. As a result, anything that gets near to it will definitely melt down.This book is the translated version of Almastor book By Sameh Nagi Abdu Farag, "Almastor book" (in Arabic) means, The perfect book.

This book explores two of the most crucial areas of the war on terror: 1) why some Muslims turn to violent jihad, and 2) that process in the world's most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia. The recent history of terrorism in Indonesia has brought this country into the world spotlight: the Bali night club bombing by Islamists in 2002 was one of the worst terrorist attacks in history. The recent violence following the executions of three of the Bali bombers, together with a number of thwarted bomb plots, demonstrate the continuing danger posed by radicalized violent Islamists in the country. Written by one of Southeast Asias leading counter-terrorism experts, Radical Pathways offers innovative new perspectives on the sources of violent Muslim radicalization and what should be done to counter it.
