Download or read book The Islamic Revolution of Khomeini Its Psychological Environment and Realities written by Safiurahman Mubarakpuri and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-23 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaykh SafiuRahman Mubarakpuri is a well known scholar around the world due to his popular book Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar; indeed this book won the first prize in a competition organised by the Muslim World League (Rabitah Alam Islami) for the best Seerah book). The present book, The "Islamic" Revolution of Khomeini, its Psychological Environment and Realities by Shaykh SafiuRahman Mubarakpuri is acompilation of a series of his articles written in Urdu in the magazine "Mohadis". These articles written during the Iran-Iraq war exposed the creed of Ayatollah Khomeini and his expansionist agenda and plans to invade Sunni countries such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Forty years later, we see that Iraq is now a satellite country of Iran and under its control; Iran has committed atrocious crimes and killings of Sunnis in Yemen and Syria, implementing the agenda of Khomeini. In these articles, the author exposes the creed of the Shi'ites, their belief in the alteration of the Quran, their excommunication of the Companions, their hatred towards the Sunnis and other horrendous beliefs from their main sources. The Shaykh also exposes the creed of Ayatollah Khomeini and clarified that his beliefs echo the views of extreme Shi'ites and he is working on a clear strategy to take over Iraq and the Hijaz in preparation for the arrival of their presumed hidden Imam from the cave. Unfortunately many naive Sunni Muslims view Khomeini and Iran as Islamic symbols and we hope that this book will expose the reality of the Shi'ite school of thought so Sunnis remain alert and vigilant about them. Also we hope that Shi'ite laymen will, by reading this book, open their eyes to their illogical school of thought, which affirms divine powers to the "Twelve Imams", and we pray to Allah that these sincere Shi'ite laymen convert to Sunnism and orthodox Islam. Ameen!

Download or read book The Life and Times of the Shah written by Gholam Reza Afkhami and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-01-12 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This epic biography, a gripping insider's account, is a long-overdue chronicle of the life and times of Mohammad Reza Shah, who ruled from 1941 to 1979 as the last Iranian monarch. Gholam Reza Afkhami uses his unparalleled access to a large number of individuals—including high-ranking figures in the shah's regime, members of his family, and members of the opposition—to depict the unfolding of the shah's life against the forces and events that shaped the development of modern Iran. The first major biography of the Shah in twenty-five years, this richly detailed account provides a radically new perspective on key events in Iranian history, including the 1979 revolution, U.S.-Iran relations, and Iran's nuclear program. It also sheds new light on what now drives political and cultural currents in a country at the heart of today's most perplexing geopolitical dilemmas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...her short analysis of the Iranian armed forces in the 1980s is first-rate, so too is her much more substantial section on women and the state in Iran...As well as offering useful insights into the workings of the Islamic state in Iran, this readable book also provides a warning of the struggles ahead in many other Muslim societies.' - Anoushiravan Ehteshami, Times Higher Education Supplement ;Islam has been the driving force shaping the ideology and the power base of the Iranian revolution. This volume engages critically with the Islamic perspective and promises offered by the revolution. Looking at the rise of the religious institution as a revolutionary force, the author observes their post-revolutionary policies in the domains of politics, economics, education, the armed forces and women's status. In the event, the volume demonstrates that the Iranian government has failed to deliver on most, if not all, of its Islamic pledges.

Download or read book Psychology of Terrorism written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In compiling this annotated bibliography on the psychology of terrorism, the author has defined terrorism as "acts of violence intentionally perpetrated on civilian noncombatants with the goal of furthering some ideological, religious or political objective." The principal focus is on nonstate actors. The task was to identify and analyze the scientific and professional social science literature pertaining to the psychological and/or behavioral dimensions of terrorist behavior (not on victimization or effects). The objectives were to explore what questions pertaining to terrorist groups and behavior had been asked by social science researchers; to identify the main findings from that research; and attempt to distill and summarize them within a framework of operationally relevant questions. To identify the relevant social science literature, the author began by searching a series of major academic databases using a systematic, iterative keyword strategy, mapping, where possible, onto existing subject headings. The focus was on locating professional social science literature published in major books or in peer-reviewed journals. Searches were conducted of the following databases October 2003: Sociofile/Sociological Abstracts, Criminal Justice Abstracts (CJ Abstracts), Criminal Justice Periodical Index (CJPI), National Criminal Justice Reference Service Abstracts (NCJRS), PsycInfo, Medline, and Public Affairs Information Service (PAIS). Three types of annotations were provided for works in this bibliography: Author's Abstract -- this is the abstract of the work as provided (and often published) by the author; Editor's Annotation -- this is an annotation written by the editor of this bibliography; and Key Quote Summary -- this is an annotation composed of "key quotes" from the original work, edited to provide a cogent overview of its main points.
