Download or read book Nightmare in Yemen written by Razaz Mohamed and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author is donating his royalty from this book to the Sheba Organisation. NIGHTMARE IN THE YEMEN, written in conjunction with Neil M. C. Sinclair, a well-known local historian and the author, is the true story of what happened to an otherwise well-meaning father of five children who had the misfortune to discover his private life written bold across the headlines of the local and UK national press highlighting lurid tales that described him as the 'loving' father who tried to sell his daughter, Iysha. If it is printed in black and white it must be true. Or is it? In an age of cynicism and public media savvy, we seem to know the answer but we still ask the question: Is it true what the papers say? At one time or another we have all pondered this question but generally take as verbatim what is said in the press. Until, of course, it directly concerns us! At such times the state of shock makes us the better judge when we discover a misrepresentation of our private life exposed before the world. Only then do we catch a glimpse of how inaccurate a report can be and what pain and anguish such an expose can bring not only to oneself but also to one's entire family and community. This is precisely what happened to one of the authors Razaz Mohamed Mutahar, a 42-year old resident of Wales' oldest multiethnic seagoing communities, that is Tiger Bay which has a long-established Yemeni community in this part of the capital of Wales where Arabic has been, and still is, an everyday language of its streets. Until more recent times academia, the Welsh Tourist Board, Cardiff Marketing, and other such agencies have overlooked this ancient aspect of south Cardiff life and failed to capitalize on its colourful historical past. Thus the authors have not only revealed and exposed media exaggerations behind these misleading and distorted headlines, they also tell of some of the long history of Yemeni settlement in South Wales. Inevitably, this book will be of great interest not only to the general public, but of equal concern to media and history students interested in Mr. Mohamed's homeland origins in the Yemen. Other works by Neil M. C. Sinclair include: The Tiger Bay Story, The Cardiff Bay Experience, the video A Stroll Through Tiger Bay, Endangered Tiger: A Community Under Threat, and Voodoo Detective: A True Story.
Download or read book Yemen written by Tim Mackintosh-Smith and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-12-08 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguably the most fascinating but least known country in the Arab world, Yemen has a way of attracting comment that ranges from the superficial to the wildly fictitious. In Yemen: Travels in Dictionary Land, Tim Mackintosh-Smith writes with an intimacy and depth of knowledge gained through over twenty years among the Yemenis. He is a travelling companion of the best sort - erudite, witty and eccentric. Crossing mountain, desert, ocean and three millennia of history, he portrays hyrax hunters and dhow skippers, a noseless regicide, and a sword-wielding tyrant with a passion for Heinz Russian salad. Yet even the ordinary Yemenis are extraordinary: their family tree goes back to Noah and is rooted in a land which, in the words of a contemporary poet, has become the dictionary of its people. Every page of this book is dashed - like the land it describes - with the marvellous.

Download or read book Undercover Muslim written by Theo Padnos and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2009 the US government launched an air strike against the tiny Yemeni village of al-Majalah where al-Qaeda militants were believed to be in hiding. A second attack a week later targeted the prominent religious leader Anwar Awlaki. He escaped unharmed but many villagers were killed. These two strikes were intended to set back al-Qaeda's operations in Yemen but, within 24 hours, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab - a 23-year-old Nigerian man and one of Awlaki's followers - boarded a plane to Detroit with explosives hidden in his clothing. His is not a unique story: at a time when true pluralism remains an aspiration rather than a reality in the West, young men, disillusioned and angry with the spiritually barren, consumerist societies in which they live, travel to Yemen in search of fulfilment. There, in the country's anarchic wilderness, they find what they could not at home: a pure way of life, submissive wives and like-minded brethren. Some, like Abdulmutallab, find something much more dangerous: the conviction to carry out Jihad. In Undercover Muslim, Theo Padnos brilliantly evokes a landscape and journey that few Westerners have experienced. He investigates the radicalisation of these disaffected young men as they move, almost unnoticed, from London, Berlin or Paris to their new spiritual home in Yemen. Padnos's journey takes him from the newsroom of a Yemeni newspaper to the prayer rows and lecture rooms of Yemen's madrassas, from covert Jeep rides into the sacred mountains to a stint in an overcrowded prison. It is through these events, and through the people he encounters, that Padnos shows us how a terrifying gulf has opened between Islam and the West.
