Book excerpt: The Arab Mind Bound proposes that Arab culture has been stifled by two major problems. The first is that of religion misinterpreted. Islam has come to be seen and propagated as a religion of violence, while in reality this violence is merely the result of a single interpretation of Islam. In fact, there are other interpretations that call for moderation and progress. The second problem is education. The backward education system engenders misconceptions which in turn provoke political, social, and economic problems. These trigger a vicious circle which fortifies the existing Arab mindset. The Arab societies are thus trapped in this cycle, to which the only solution is science and modern management. The Arab Mind Bound looks at the factors which led to the rapid spread and influence of violent Islam and its effect on Arab societies. Written by Tarek Heggy, this insightful and topical book is a companion volume to Heggy's The Arab Cocoon: Progress and Modernity in Arab Societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Spring in Egypt and Tunisia was a manifestation of all that is amiss in the Arab world. Heggy seeks to understand the conditions which created the breeding ground for those upheavals. He deals first with religion, and how Islam is seen and propagated as a religion of violence. However this is one interpretation of Islam, while others call for moderation and progress. He explains the factors which led to the rapid spread and influence of violent Islam and its effect on Arab societies. A key player in the power struggle in Egypt is the Muslim Brotherhood. Are they the radical Islamists of Mubarak propaganda, the democratic actors they claim to be, or is the truth more complex than that? Heggy's chapter on the Muslim Brotherhood should be read by all who have a stake in peace in the Middle East or an interest in Egypt. Next he tackles the backward education system that engenders misconceptions which, in turn, provoke political, social, and economic problems. These trigger a vicious circle which fortifies the existing Arab mindset. Arab societies are thus trapped in a cycle of political, social, and economic problems to which the only solution is science and modern management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because we live in a higher-than-ever charged world of violence, child abuse, and misunderstandings of ethnicity, the need to inform and enlighten is at the forefront of our daily lives as never before. Close-up, sometimes graphic, views of these issues are vital to the process.An informative read into the roots of ancient Muslim teachings, SEX, LOVE, AND THE ARAB MIND, is the true story of a young woman who, in part still a child, willingly takes up the patriarch offerings of an old friend.The familiarity of her past breaks thorough in parallel dynamics, bringing her to crashing amidst sex addiction, man-over-woman subservience, and violence, propelling her into a search-and-find reality of the who within.Flashbacks take the reader to a full-view spectrum of one human psyche, its far-back beginnings, and how the core of a true code can change a life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Orientalism and the Myth of the Arab Mind, Nissim Rejwan deftly surveys, analyses, criticizes and dismisses the primarily Western Orientalists' insistence on dwelling on the so-called 'Arab mind.' In an attempt to amplify this idea, he cites a number of points made by scholars and observers who wrote on both sides of the subject: Raphael Patai, John Laffin, Edward Said, Bernard Lewis, and Akbar Ahmed, among others. Nissim Rejwan is the author of a dozen books on Arab and Middle Eastern culture and history, and manages skillfully to give a summary of the great number of points made by all those who took part in the controversial subject of 'the Arab mind.' Apart from this particular subject, Orientalism and the Myth of the Arab Mind offers a good deal on other Middle Eastern and Arab topics"--From publisher's website.
