Book excerpt: First published on Amazon as the ́Terror of Radical Islam ́ now re-titled ́A Dictionary of Radical Islam ́ is an updated version of that book including a number of additions.My mandate was to create a reference book of the names used in the media relating to Islamic terror groups. I have kept as far as possible a balanced view in the accompanying narratives but most importantly I want to clarify some misconceptions and misnomers. For example most people could not tell you the difference between a Sunni Muslim or a Shia or Shiite. Or tell you about Gaza or the Talaban, Al-Queda or Boco Harem (ISWAP). Or know that a third of the worlds 1.7 billion Muslims live in Africa. Or what Sharia law, a Jihad, a fatwa, Janna or Iblis is? And is there any truth in the belief that a jihad will be given 72 virgins after his death as a warrior? This a simple to understand book compiled in alphabetical order describing in plain language the meanings of the words. The Islamic terrorist is now a reality in our streets, theatres, planes and beaches. We are at war with them and they with us. They kill and wreck countries fragile economies. They hide in the west and attack the most vulnerable. They rape, torture and decapitate in their homelands anyone who opposes them or their beliefs. A working knowledge of the terms used and a basic understanding of what drives them is what this book is about. I take a balanced view in my narratives about ISIS, ISL, ISWAP and the multitude of other radical splinter groups that seek to dominate Islam. I describe a little of the history of Islam from Muhammad in a cave to a suicide vest in a concert hall some 700 years later. What would that alleged wise and gentle prophet think had he been alive today? What would he think of the violence? All Abrahamic scriptures, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, mutated by time and re-telling, preach death to its adversaries and non-believers. If we lived just a few hundred years ago or during biblical times we would fear Christianity and the church as much as the west now fear Islam and Sharia law. In sixteenth century England you could be put to death simply for reading the bible in English. Read on ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dictionary focuses primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries, stressing topics of most interest to Westerners. What emerges is a highly informative look at the religious, political, and social spheres of the modern Islamic world. Naturally, readers will find many entries on topics of intense current interest, such as terrorism and the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, the PLO and HAMAS. But the coverage goes well beyond recent headlines. There are biographical profiles, ranging from Naguib Mahfouz (the Nobel Prize winner from Egypt) to Malcolm X, including political leaders, influential thinkers, poets, scientists, and writers. Other entries cover major political movements, militant groups, and religious sects as well as terms from Islamic law, culture, and religion, key historical events, and important landmarks (such as Mecca and Medina). A series of entries looks at Islam in individual nations, such as Afghanistan, the West Bank and Gaza, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the United States, and the

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume features more than two thousand entries on the history of Islamism and Islamic countries. It provides a balanced account of events and organizations, as well as philosophers, activists, militants, and other prominent figures, and offers a window into a movement that has irrevocably changed both Muslim and Western societies.The Columbia World Dictionary of Islamism includes entries on the roots of Islamism and jihad in Africa, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Egypt, India, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, the Balkans, and the United States, among many other countries and locations. It profiles such key individuals as Louis Farrakhan; Tariq Ramadan; Algeria's Hassan Hattab, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood; Egypt's Hassan Al-Banna; and the leader of the Afghan Jombesh-i Melli Islami movement, Abdul Rashid Dostum. The dictionary uniquely examines this antimodern incarnation of Islam and its efforts to claim (or reclaim) Muslim society, families, and professional environments. It considers such questions as whether activist Islam is "terrorist" and if it can coexist with Western societies; whether terrorism can be justified by the Quran; and what are the components of an international Islam. Widely celebrated for his scholarship and expertise, Antoine Sfeir remains sensitive to the differences between Islam and Islamism and approaches the ideology from geopolitical, sociological, and historical perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a Sunni or a Shia, a Caliphate, Sharia or Shahada? What is an Apostate as opposed to an Apostle? Who are these Jihadists, what are Fatwa's, what is Janna? The dark world of the religious terrorist is unfolding with new words that few understand. This book untangles the jargon. They are evil, and they are here, they machine-gun innocent people in our theatres, shopping malls and on our beaches. They bomb our planes or fly them into skyscrapers. They are already planning the next attack. In their home countries they decapitate and torture those they consider the kuffar including other Muslims. They rape, murder and destroy. They train their children for jihad and propaganda. Yet we know so little about them. The contents of this book are laid out as a straightforward reference guide. We also look at their ethos and motives - why radical Islamist's crave a martyr's death in preference to life and why they hate us so much."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a century, much of the attention given to the Middle East has focused on the Arab-Israeli conflict. The rise of a Palestinian offshoot of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, transformed the nature of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. According to Bard, the dispute, in the view of Hamas, is not over a division of Palestine, but rather about Jews ruling over Muslims and the presence of Jews on Islamic land. However, this Islamic-Jewish conflict is not simply confined to the Middle East. Muslim terrorist attacks have been directed at Jews all around the world, from Europe to Asia to Latin America. Radical Muslims in European countries are becoming more brazen, particularly in France, where the Muslims constitute nearly ten percent of the population. In just the last year, there have been several Muslim attacks on Jews throughout France. Death to the Infidels documents the growth of radical Islam in the Middle East and how, from the author's interpretation, it has transformed what had primarily been a political conflict into a one-sided religious war limiting the prospect for peace, particularly in Israel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic attempt to study the situation of European and American Muslims after 9/11, and to present a comprehensive analysis of their religious, political, and legal situations. Since 9/11, and particularly since the Madrid and London bombings of 2004 and 2005, the Muslim presence in Europe and the United States has become a major political concern. Many have raised questions regarding potential links between Western Muslims, radical Islam, and terrorism. Whatever the justification of such concerns, it is insufficient to address the subject of Muslims in the West from an exclusively counter-terrorist perspective. Based on empirical studies of Muslims in the US and Western Europe, this edited volume posits the situation of Muslim minorities in a broader reflection on the status of liberalism in Western foreign policies. It also explores the changes in immigration policies, multiculturalism and secularism that have been shaped by the new international context of the ‘war on terror’. This book will be of great interest to students of Critical Security Studies, Islamic Studies, Sociology and Political Science in general. Jocelyne Cesari is an Associate at Harvard’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the Center for European Studies, teaching at Harvard Divinity School and the Government Department, specializing in Islam and the Middle East.
