Produktbeschreibung

A Word from the Author The text of this book was first published in 2015 shortly after the US invasion of Iraq, under the title "The Crisis of Islamism". I wrote the book at the time to express my criticism of the invasion of Iraq, and to explain the events that led to the emergence and actions of Isis which I abhorred. In 2016 the book was awarded the Bronze Medal in the category of "Current Events I" by the Independent Publisher Book Awards. I am exasperated by Hamas's action and Israel's response in 2003. Instead of trying to cover these developments which are unfolding as I write now, and since the narrative of my book is historical in nature and remains to be valid, I decided to republish the original text without modification in an effort to address the underlying issues of decades' long conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians. In the Preface of the book, I express great praise for the military's takeover of the government form the Moslem Brotherhood in Egypt years ago. Believing that religious fanaticism lies at the roots of many global problems, I remain stead fast in taking this position; albeit, with less enthusiasm in what I wrote in the case of Egypt due to the more recent negative economic developments there.
