From Muhammad to Bin Laden

Religious and Ideological Sources of the Homicide Bombers Phenomenon

By: David Bukay

From Muhammad to Bin Laden analyzes the ideological, religious, and cultural foundations of one of the most inconceivable phenomena in contemporary world politics. Bukay analyzes the homicide bombings and atrocities perpetuated by worldwide jihad. He also uses information from primary sources to suggest how to cope with this lethal phenomenon.The book explores the meaning and interpretation of the seemingly benign concept of da'wah, the expansion of the Islamic community. Da'wah provides the religious and ideological justification for the lethal phenomenon of worldwide jihad; it describes the incentive and motivational drive that support the emergence and the operation of the fundamentalist Islamic movement. Bukay locates the dimensions of the phenomenon of jihad as well as the reasons, motivations, and aspects of the behavior of fundamentalist groups. The importance of this work lies in its skillful combination of historical perspectives and contemporary dynamics, religious and anthropological aspects of the phenomena, and its use of research tools of both the humanities and social sciences.By exploring the religious and cultural foundations of homicide bombers' activities, Bukay explains the essence of jihad, how it is connected to the da'wah, and together, how da'wah and jihad serve as the platform of the current worldwide terrorist activities. Bukay quotes religious edicts and declarations of classical and modern Islamic texts, as well as contemporary Islamic fanatic movements from Ibn Hanbal in the eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the mid-twentieth century. He also aims to bring to the world's consciousness the aims and objectives of fundamentalist Islam. The volume concludes by challenging the free world to wake up before the bells of another world war start to ring. From Muhammad to Bin Laden will interest scholars, policymakers, and lay readers. Its importance is transparent, particularly in light of the current developments in the Middle East.

Islam and the Infidels

The Politics of Jihad, Dawah, and Hijrah

By: David Bukay

This book discusses Islam, its relationship with the world, and how Muslims perceive the world and their role within it. Using Islamic scriptures and the works of important Muslim clerics, the author explores the Islamic notion that Muslims represent the best of humanity, and as such, have the duty and the right to propagate their faith throughout the world by any means, including violence. Islam and the Infidels warns of the dangers Muslim immigration poses to free societies. Using a diplomacy of deceit, Islamists immigrate to Western societies. Having done so, they establish closed ethnic communities that are estranged from their host countries, and are breeding grounds for native-born malcontents who may attack and destroy Western nations from within. The author is especially critical of Western apologists who not only pretend that Islam is not inherently aggressive and dangerous, but also denigrate those who point out the threat to liberal values posed by fundamentalist Islamic ideology. Bukay argues that to meet the Islamic threat, the West must understand Islam’s true nature, and the best way of doing so is by analyzing its scriptures and history. Bukay argues that Western societies should embrace the Judeo-Christian tradition, which is the root of their cultural heritage. In light of the mounting Muslim threat to liberalism in Western societies, citizens should resist oppressive Islamic practices and doctrines rather than accept them.

The Ambiguous Foreign Policy of the United States toward the Muslim World

More than a Handshake

By: David S. Oualaalou

This book sheds light on key issues in the Middle East. As the politics and society of the Middle East change, American foreign policy has become stagnant and stubborn. However, the changes occurring in the Middle East have brought into existence new, unfamiliar policies from regimes that reject old alliances and demand new solutions. Ongoing civil war in Syria, chaos in Yemen, and the recent conquests of ISIS have changed geopolitical calculations in the region for everyone concerned. However, American foreign policy lacks the vision to predict the consequences of such changes. The United States needs a major change in approach if it is to maintain both its leadership and credibility in the Muslim world. The political leadership in Washington naïvely and unrealistically assumes that it can impose its style of governance and way of thinking to make the Muslim world secular and democratic based on Western values. This work constructively criticizes and objectively analyzes the present American political strategy to make possible an honest national debate about American foreign policy toward the Muslim world. This book questions the judgment of American foreign policymakers and argues the United States has no coherent policy in place to address ongoing challenges. It highlights the need for creative thinking, flexibility, systematic understanding, cultural awareness, and effective strategy.

Living in the Times of the Signs

By: David Barnhart

LIVING IN THE TIMES OF THE SIGNS Bible Prophecy for the 21st Century We are living in exciting times. The present generation has witnessed the fulfillment of more prophetic signs than any generation in history; and no more significant sign has been fulfilled than the return of the Jews to the reestablished State of Israel. This book explains Bible prophecy as it applies to events unfolding in the 21st century. The foundations of our culture, our churches and our nation are being shaken by those who would have us all worship at the altar of the politically correct god. But the Lord calls His people to walk in love, obedience and faithfulness. FIND ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS: What is Israel's place in end-time events? What is Islam's role in Bible prophecy? When and where will the Temple be rebuilt? How will the Israeli/Palestinian conflict be resolved? How close are we to a global religion and a global government? Does the Bible teach about the rapture and the tribulation? David R. Barnhart, pastor, evangelist and prophecy teacher, has made twenty-six trips to Israel and visited the sites of the seven churches of Revelation. For the past twenty-four years, he has served as the director of Abiding Word Ministries, an organization that promotes revival and reformation in the churches of America. The author has devoted his life to calling Christians back to the foundational truths of Scripture.

Anti-Semitism and its Metaphysical Origins

By: David Patterson

This book articulates a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of Jew hatred as a metaphysical aspect of the human soul. Proceeding from the Jewish thinking that the anti-Semites oppose, David Patterson argues that anti-Semitism arises from the most ancient of temptations, the temptation to be as God, and thus to flee from an absolute accountability to and for the other human being.

Icon of Evil

Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam

By: David Dalin

A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is resurrected in this riveting work that links the fascism of the last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with vigor and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evil is the definitive account of the man who, during World War II, was called "the fuhrer of the Arab world" and whose ugly legacy lives on today. With new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al -Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blond hair and blue eyes, an "honorary Aryan" while dreaming of being installed as Nazi leader of the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen- SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At war's end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France. Icon of Evil chronicles al-Husseini's postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Hussein's powerful uncle General Khairallah Talfah and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Ararat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al-Husseini's actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States.

A Genealogy of Evil

Anti-Semitism from Nazism to Islamic Jihad

By: David Patterson

Based on extensive scrutiny of primary sources from Nazi and Jihadist ideologues, David Patterson argues that Jihadist anti-Semitism stems from Nazi ideology. This book challenges the idea that Jihadist anti-Semitism has medieval roots, identifying its distinctively modern characteristics and tracing interconnections that link the Nazis to the Muslim Brotherhood to the PLO, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, the Sudan, the Iranian Islamic Republic, and other groups with an anti-Semitic worldview. Based on his close reading of numerous Jihadist texts, Patterson critiques their antisemitic teachings and affirms the importance of Jewish teaching, concluding that humanity needs the very Jewish teaching and testimony that the Jihadists advocate destroying.

The Politics of Masks and Paradox

Arafat, the Palestinians and Israel

The Politics of Masks and Paradox

By: David Bukay

Yasser Arafat is undoubtedly the most resilient politician in the Middle East. He has been at the crossroads of international and political terror for the past 40 years. This book brings to light the many masks of Arafat, and shows that he is as much a terrorist as a negotiator; as much a warmonger as a leader of the Palestinian people. Contrary to Arafat's belief that his long-term strategy of lies, confusion, and violence strengthens the case for the return of the Palestinians to Palestine, his actions have only had a negative effect in the Middle East. Hamas and Islamic Jihad are out of control, and abroad Arafat is blamed for the collapse in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. There is a political approach in Israel and the West that claims that Arafat has no clear strategic plan and misses historic opportunities for his people. For David Bukay this political approach is culturally flawed: it expresses the 'problem' in Western terms, without considering the Arab political reality, namely that violent determination will bring about Israeli flight from the Territories, that time is irrelevant to this goal, and that political agreements are there to be broken in order to disrupt a final political solution. The political paradox is threefold: (1) Most Middle East countries would like to see Arafat step down, but they fear that his demise may create deep instability on the 'Arab street' and therefore grant him immunity; (2) By actively promoting the 'peace camp' in Israel, Arafat hinders a political resolution with the Palestinians; and (3) By financing indiscriminate terrorism in the Territories he alienates the world from Palestinian rights and aspirations. The author shows that Arafat's personality is shaped by the politics of paranoia and paradox. A character study of his attitude and motivation toward the Palestinian people, other Arab states, Israel, and in the international arena, reveals a deluded leader, suspicious and determined to maintain his authority; a leader whose grandiose style demonstrates a conservative, closed way of thinking. Arafat's persona is most clearly expressed in his negotiations management. The signing of the Oslo Accords encouraged acts of terror that, paradoxically, resulted in extra land being granted to the Palestinian Authority. While some argue that Arafat missed an opportunity for lasting peace at Oslo and at Camp David, the fact is that Arafat took another step toward his ultimate goal -- the destruction of the State of Israel. It is an aim he has never lost sight of, even if the West has. Contents: Introduction: Who Is Yasser Arafat?; Palestine -- The Land and the People; Arafat -- The Personality, the Leadership, and the Myth; Personality: The Politics of Paranoia; Leadership: The Politics of Patrimonialism; Arafat and Israel -- Ideological and Political Perspectives; Arafat and Israel -- The Politics of Terrorism; Arafat's Terrorism in Practice; Arafat's Instruments of Terrorism; Epilogue: Israel, Oslo, and Arafat.
