Book excerpt: For centuries, immigration has been taking place throughout the world, from different parts of the world, by different groups of people, to different countries. Until recently, immigration was considered a cultural, intellectual, and population gain for the host countries. Assimilation of foreign immigrants into Judeo-Christian populations had never been an issue until Muslim immigrants began arriving in great numbers. Assimilation, multiculturalism, tolerance, the belief that the refugees would go back when conditions in their countries improved--those were the norm until 9/11 shook Western countries to the core. Contrary to Western beliefs, Muslims make no secret of their intention to spread Islam wherever and whenever they can, and they have no intention of assimilating into any Western culture. In fact, Islam discourages--actually forbids--assimilation. Norway, Sweden, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Greece and the United States have had to deal with the rise of extremist Islamists, often funded and indoctrinated by the governments and the clergy of Saudi Arabia and Iran. History, politics, and religion seem to encourage extremist behavior in the Muslim world. Iran was transformed, practically overnight, from a monarchy struggling to catch up with the modern world to a theocracy. The issues these countries face are ancient and complex--Western liberal ideas incomprehensible and repulsive to many. Islamerica is a compilation of historical events, past and present, highlighting Islamist extremism and its effects on Europe and the U.S.--in fact, the world. This is a global problem that the civilized world is faced with now, and most likely will be for decades to come.

Book excerpt: The reviews are pouring in for Islamerica: The Countdown Begins "An intelligent, dramatic read-and possible glimpse into the future!" "A colossal cast of compelling, courageous, and compassionate characters!" "Intricately plotted and comprehensively developed!" "The preface alone offers a powerful and staggering criticism of the insidious nature of the attack on not only our nation, but any nation that does not specifically and resoundingly follow the correct brand of Islam!" Devastated by a series of massive, brutal terror attacks, the United States of America teeters on the brink of extinction! Anarchy reigns as the shattered Land of Liberty becomes the gridiron for a proxy war between two powerfully evil enemies who both desire to rule the world. The winner will be worshiped worldwide as the Antichrist! Meanwhile, the newly sworn-in and faith-filled American President and the now Messianic Prime Minister of Israel find themselves playing the roles of catalysts, as their faithful actions hasten the arrival of the Last Days-if they can survive the fatwahs on their lives! In this timely tale of terror, the precarious fate of the masses intertwines with the heartrending tragedies of individual believers who face extreme levels of persecution and horrific means of elimination. Can they stand firm in faith or will they be crushed under the weight of their suffering? Ripped from today's headlines, even the preface shows where we are, how we arrived here, and where we are headed in terms of islamization. Focused on the Muslim gains and threats of 2013, the preface itself is a must read! Picking up where Islamerica: Isa, Y'shua, Jesus left off, Islamerica: The Countdown Begins challenges you to examine yourself. Are you ready for this possible picture of the days ahead? If so, when you have fought your way through the pages of this second volume of the Islamerica trilogy, will you have the strength and courage to take on the final installment?

Download or read book A Call for Heresy written by Anouar Majid and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Call for Heresy discovers unexpected common ground in one of the most inflammatory issues of the twenty-first century: the deepening conflict between the Islamic world and the United States. Moving beyond simplistic answers, Anouar Majid argues that the Islamic world and the United States are both in precipitous states of decline because, in each, religious, political, and economic orthodoxies have silenced the voices of their most creative thinkers—the visionary nonconformists, radicals, and revolutionaries who are often dismissed, or even punished, as heretics. The United States and contemporary Islam share far more than partisans on either side admit, Majid provocatively argues, and this “clash of civilizations” is in reality a clash of competing fundamentalisms. Illustrating this point, he draws surprising parallels between the histories and cultures of Islam and the United States and their shortsighted suppression of heresy (zandaqa in Arabic), from Muslim poets and philosophers like Ibn Rushd (known in the West as Averros) to the freethinker Thomas Paine, and from Abu Bakr Razi and Al-Farabi to Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. He finds bitter irony in the fact that Islamic culture is now at war with a nation whose ideals are losing ground to the reactionary forces that have long condemned Islam to stagnation. The solution, Majid concludes, is a long-overdue revival of dissent. Heresy is no longer a contrarian’s luxury, for only through encouraging an engaged and progressive intellectual tradition can the nations reverse their decline and finally work together for global justice and the common good of humanity. Anouar Majid is founding chair and professor of English at the University of New England and the author of Freedom and Orthodoxy: Islam and Difference in the Post-Andalusian Age; Unveiling Traditions: Postcolonial Islam in a Polycentric World; and Si Yussef, a novel. He is also cofounder and editor of Tingis, a Moroccan-American magazine of ideas and culture.

Download or read book An Anthology of Migration and Social Transformation written by Anna Amelina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions of this book examine contemporary dynamics of migration and mobility in the context of the general societal transformations that have taken place in Europe over the past few decades. The book will help readers to better understand the manifold ways in which migration trends in the region are linked to changing political-economic constellations, orders of power and inequality, and political discourses. It begins with an introduction to a number of theoretical approaches that address the nexus between migration and general societal shifts, including processes of supranationalisation, EU enlargement, postsocialist transformations and rescaling. It then provides a comprehensive overview of the political regulation of migration through border control and immigration policies. The contributions that follow detail the dynamic changes of individual migration patterns and their implications for the agency of mobile individuals. The final part challenges the reader to consider how policies and practices of migration are linked to symbolic struggles over belonging and rights, describing a wide range of expressions of such conflicts, from cosmopolitanism to racism and xenophobia. This book is aimed at researchers in various fields of the social sciences and can be used as course reading for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate courses in the areas of international migration, transnational and European studies. It will be a beneficial resource for scholars looking for material on the most current conceptual tools for analysis of the nexus of migration and societal transformation in Europe.

Book excerpt: This installment in the critically acclaimed Contemporary Debates series uses evidence-based documentation to provide a full and impartial examination of beliefs and claims made about Muslim individuals, families, and communities in the United States.

It surveys the history of American Muslims' settlement and integration into the United States; explores the dominant social, political, cultural, and economic characteristics of American Muslim families and communities; and studies the ways in which their experiences and beliefs intersect with various notions of American national identity. In the process, the book critically examines the more dominant social and political narratives and claims surrounding American Muslims and their religion of Islam, including false or malicious claims about their attitudes toward terrorism and other important issues.
