The Sayyid Qutb Reader Selected Writings on Politics, Religion, and Society Edited by Albert J. Bergesen Routledge, 2008 0415954258 (paperback; $34.95) 041595424X (hardback; $135.00) Preface It has been said that perhaps no writer has occupied so central a place within the universe of political Islam in the second half of the twentieth century as Egypt's Sayyid Qutb, and if one wants to understand the mind of radical Muslims, one needs to know what they read, or have read, and they read Sayyid Qutb. In general, his work has been divided into three periods. The earliest (1920-1947) centers on more literary...

Saudi Arabia to execute woman for 'witchcraft'  Thursday, February 14, 2008 A leading international human rights organisation is calling on Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to halt the planned execution of a woman accused of "witchcraft". The woman is due to be put to death on foot of a coerced confession and the statements of witnesses who said she had "bewitched" them. One man claimed she had made him impotent. In another case, a divorced woman reportedly returned to her ex-husband during the month predicted by the witch said to have cast the spell. The court failed to probe alternative explanations...

Thomas Lippman Washington Post November 25. 2007 The subtitle of Yaroslav Trofimov's fascinating and important book about the 1979 takeover of the Great Mosque in Mecca by heavily armed fanatics refers to that event as "the forgotten uprising." Perhaps it has been forgotten here but not in the Muslim Middle East, where it was a seminal event of the region's most traumatic year in modern times. That year began with the Iranian revolution and ended with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In between, Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel, radicalizing the Palestinians. Saddam Hussein took power in Iraq. And...

Britain's love affair with the Saudi kingdom By Jemima Khan Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 04/11/2007 King Abdullah arrived at Heathrow last Wednesday morning for the first State Visit to the UK for 20 years – five planes, 13 family members, an entourage of several hundred. No women. I've been to Saudi Arabia a few times. It's not much fun being a woman there. I suspect it's worse being a Saudi woman. And worse still being her migrant maid. It's a mad place and the rules there have got nothing to do with Islam. advertisementI've had my feet beaten, not once...

Israel Lobby's Pull Pales Next to Evil Saudi Input By YOUSSEF IBRAHIM September 25, 2007It's been a while since a book about American Jews has elicited as much controversy as "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," in which professors John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard University argue that America's Israel lobby exercises "undue" influence and blocks other views on the Middle East.In the noisy debate that has sprung up among its many critics and few advocates, the issue has been unfortunately narrowed to the obvious: how powerful the lobby is or isn't,...

Not only did she avoid mentioning the Saudi (Arab) lobby, which is by far the most powerful lobby in America, but she also chose to solicit the opinions of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter (himself a lobbyist for Arab causes), as well as professor Mearsheimer, both known for their controversial anti-Israel positions. Stunningly, no expert contradictory opinion to these two was offered during the six-hour program. It would have been just as easy for Amanpour to pose the same questions to Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz or Professor Fouad Ajami. http://www.aina.org/news/2007082994324.htm

This has gotten way out of hand, especially as it becomes clearer as to what this "Islamic perspective" actually is: Imams taunting airline passengers and personnel, antisocial taxicab drivers and furor over foot baths - and this is just for starters, believe me. “The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a nonprofit 501(c)(4), grassroots civil rights and advocacy group. CAIR is America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, with regional offices nationwide and in Canada. The national headquarters is located on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. Since its establishment in 1994, CAIR has worked to promote a positive image of Islam...

The scandal at the Islamic Center of Washington, D.C. centers on embezzlement allegations made against Farzad Darui. Darui claims that the money was not embezzled, but was being used to pay off the mistresses of Abduallah M. Khouj. Polygamy is officially sanctioned under Islamic law, but since the practice is illegal in the U.S., some of these 'mistresses' were really wives. Except for the ones that weren't. At least one of these 'mistresses' is said to have been held against her will. I'm not sure how that is a good defense. Surely paying off Khouj's wives wasn't in the mosque...

Investigators working on the Bangalore connection to the UK terror plot have come across a startling disclosure: alleged Glasgow bomber Kafeel Ahmed's mother Dr Zakia Khan seemed to be aware of his fanatical inclinations and tried to stop him. Investigators quoted her as saying: "I suspected him to be taking the wrong path, but had no idea exactly what he was up to. I still can't imagine he did something of this magnitude." But the 28-year-old aeronautical engineer's alleged suicide attack was not a bolt from the blue for his family. Not only did the radicalisation of Kafeel and his...

http://www.aim.org/guest_column/5051_0_6_0_C/ Do not Seek Help from The Enemies By Tashbih Sayyed | November 29, 2006 Radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Shiites are no better than the Al-Qaeda's Wahhabi Sunnis There are at least three factors that have contributed in the development of this unhealthy situation: both the propaganda success that Hezbollah emerged from the war it imposed on Israel apparently unharmed, and the ascendance of Muqtada Al-Sadr in Iraq's politics, enhanced Iran's image in the region; the success of Sunni insurgents in Iraq to keep the country in turmoil helped Syria to emerge as an important player in the regional politics;...

Words All Non-Muslims Should Know English Translation of Islamic/Arabic words Updated 05-20-06 Back to Home Page Allah - "God in the Arabic language, the same word that Arabic speaking Christians use to mean God"4; God, although it is bit more complicated than that.  Allah derives from Al-Ilah and means literally 'The One' or 'The God' or 'The One God'.  Interestingly, the pagan moon god followed by Muhammed's family, before he invented the anti-idolatry 'Islam' was also named 'Allah'.  The original Allah's symbol was the crescent moon, the same symbol as that of Islam to this day, and his three demonic...

Obsession: Documented Terror (originally published March 27, 2006 at Guardian Watchblog) The documentary Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West is a film that every person who isn’t a radical Islamic fascist (or who doesn’t aspire to live under shari’a law) ought to see. Those who think it’s possible to negotiate with terrorists will have their worldview shaken, and those who think they understand the enemy will learn something new about how deeply true hatred can run. Using footage taken from television broadcasts most of us never get to see, and interviews with those who have studied or lived with...

NOVI PAZAR -- Ten young men donning long beards, short pants and white hats broke up a concert of the Balkanika orchestra. The hooligans were dressed like members of the vehabit movement. They climbed up onto the stage and threw around the instruments that were set up for the musicians to play. One of the young men toko the microphone and told those attending the concert: “Brothers, go home, they are working against Islam here. This is Satan’s work.� He then threw the microphone, which was damaged, as were the speakers, mixing board and some of the lighting. Four police...

The strategic Muslim-majority Sandzak region of Serbia and Montenegro, which borders Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina, has seen a marked increase in politicised Islam over the past few years. The trend is due to a variety of social and economic factors including political marginalisation, poverty and crime. Religious schools and an Islamic university are educating increasing numbers of young people, filling a vacuum left by failing republican and municipal administrations. There are also growing numbers of so-called Wahhabis who follow Islamic practices imported from Saudi Arabia. This group of predominately young men operating outside the traditional Islamic community, Islamska Zajednica (IZ), played...

Why did it take until January for Muslim protests to erupt in violence, after the initial non-violent reaction to the publication of the Prophet Mohammed cartoons in Denmark on September 30, 2005? The answer lies within the enigmatic and schizophrenic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. By designating themselves Custodian of Islam's holy shrines, Mecca and Medina, the Saudi royal family and its uncompromising Wahhabi-Salafist religious partners have declared to the Muslim world that they are the true defenders of Islam and its Prophet. The issue of the cartoons provided the Saudi royal family with an unprecedented opportunity to reinforce their Muslim...

Iranian Soldiers Kidnapped Near Pakistan Border 1 January 2006 -- There are reports that nine Iranian soldiers have been kidnapped in Iran by a little-known Sunni Muslim rebel group.

Syrian - Iranian Bloody Hands in the region... Take a note at Syrian-Iranian tactics, the pattern: 1) Sending or "letting" terrorists to butcher Iraqis. 2) Sheltering Hamas to use kids as bombs or as shields and massacring in Israel. 3) Sending-helping Hezbollah assasins in Lebanon to ethnic cleanse the Christians.

Riyadh, 15 Sept. (AKI) - Two Saudi terror suspects on the kingdom's latest most wanted list have been arrested in northern Iraq by Kurdish security forces. Saudi newspaper Okaz reported that Abdullah Mohammad Saleh al-Ramyan, 27, and Mohammad Saleh Sulaiman al-Rashoodi, 24, - numbers 32 and 33 on list of 36 issued at the end of June - were arrested as they tried to enter Iraqi territory. Both men appear on list as "known to have been involved in domestic incidents and are presumed to be currently outside the kingdom." News of their arrest came as another terror suspect from...

RIYADH -- Saudi Arabia said on Thursday that five Al Qaeda suspects on a most-wanted list were killed in a three-day battle with security forces in the eastern city of Dammam, the latest in a series of offensives against the militants. Four security men also died in the operation that began with a shootout on Sunday in a commercial thoroughfare in the main city of the oil-rich Eastern Province and ended on Tuesday with the storming of a militant hideout in another neighborhood. The five Al Qaeda suspects were Zaid Al Samari, Saleh Al Fraidi, Sultan Al Haseri, Nayef Al...

September 7, 2005: In Saudi Arabia, the war on terror continues. A three day siege of a house in eastern Saudi Arabia ended on September 6th, with the death of three terrorists and two policemen. While the Islamic terrorists have a lot of supporters in the kingdom, there are an even larger number of Saudis opposed to terrorism in their neighborhoods (Islamic terrorism elsewhere, like in Iraq, is more likely to be tolerated). Thus the police have a regular supply of tips. However, many of the suspected terrorists turn out to be common criminals. Increasingly, however, some of the gangsters...

JEDDAH/DAMMAM, 7 September 2005 — Saudi security forces stormed a major Al-Qaeda hide-out in the eastern city of Damman yesterday, killing all terrorists inside. Four security men were also killed in the operation. In a brief statement, the Interior Ministry said security forces had “ended their operations,” which began Sunday in the main city of Eastern Province, losing four men, in addition to 10 wounded. Police are purging the site (of the siege) where “charred remains” were found, the ministry said without giving the number of suspected militants killed. The reference to “charred remains” suggested some of the militants had...

By Abderazaq Al-Hzami RIYADH, Sept 5 (KUNA) -- The clashes between security forces and militants in Dammam, East Saudi Arabia are still ongoing, official spokesman for the Saudi interior ministry Major General Mansour Al-Turki stated Monday. The spokesman told KUNA the number of the militants involved in the ongoing clashes is yet to be known and security forces are targeting several spots where they are holed up. He said the Interior Ministry would issue a statement that provides the details on this incident once the confrontations that started yesterday afternoon are stopped. Saudi security had yesterday detected members of an...

ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Saudi Arabia has foiled an Al Qaida offensive against Western expatriates in the kingdom. Saudi security sources said authorities have captured or killed dozens of operatives from the Al Qaida network in operations in Arar, Medina and Riyad. The sources said the network planned attacks against Westerners in Jedda and Riyad. The Saudi Interior Ministry said 41 suspects were detained. The ministry said on Aug. 26 that the arrests foiled several unspecified strikes.

ABU DHABI [MENL] -- The United States has issued an alert of an Al Qaida attack in Saudi Arabia. The U.S. embassy in Riyad said authorities have received information of an Al Qaida strike in Saudi Arabia. The embassy did not provide details. "The American embassy in Riyad advises all American citizens living in Saudi Arabia that it has received indications of operational planning for a terrorist attack or attacks in the kingdom," the statement said. "The embassy has no specific information concerning timing, target or method of any possible attack[s]."

RIYADH/JEDDAH, 29 June 2005 — Saudi Arabia yesterday issued a new list of 36 suspects believed to be linked to a series of terror attacks across the country, reflecting the government’s resolve to go ahead with its anti-terror campaign. In the latest response to a two-year campaign of bombings and killings by supporters of the Al-Qaeda terror network, the Interior Ministry broadcast pictures of the suspects on state television and offered hefty rewards for their capture. “Security authorities managed to uncover plans by the deviant group who used themselves as a tool to distort Islam and harm the security of...

ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Several commanders of the Al Qaida movement in Saudi Arabia have transferred their operations to Iraq in an effort to fight the U.S.-led coalition. Islamic sources said the movement of scores of leading Al Qaida fighters from Saudi Arabia has hampered operations against the Saudi regime. They said the Saudi members of Al Qaida have become aides and financiers of Abu Mussib Al Zarqawi in Iraq. About 3,000 to 5,000 Saudis have been fighting the U.S. military in Iraq. Over the past few months, about 200 Saudis returned to the kingdom.

RIYADH, June 22 (KUNA) -- The Saudi Interior Ministry on Wednesday identified two terrorists killed by security in Jeddah Tuesday. The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) quoted a ministry source as saying the two men were identified as Kamal Sami Ahmed Fodeh, 45, Saudi, and Mansour Mustafa Atiq Al-Thibiti, 23, Saudi. The source said some materials and documents seized proved that the two terrorists had killed the Saudi officer Mubarak Al-Sawat last Saturday in Makkah.

Riyadh, 20 June (AKI) - A young Saudi imam, Muhammad Bijad al-Harbi, is reported to have died in Iraq following a gunfight with American forces in the country. The Saudi newspaper Al-Watan said on Monday that the imam, who died a few days ago, was only 27 and was married, but had no children. Many young Saudis are thought to have travelled to Iraq to join the Jihad, and the newspaper begins the article on al-Harbi's death saying "the series of killings of Saudis in Iraq continues." Al-Harbi was the imam of a mosque in the Al-Rawda area of the...

WASHINGTON - more than 40 percent of the suicide bombers dispatched by terror leader Abu musab al-Zarqawi to attack Iraqis and U.S. troops hailed from Saudi Arabia, according to a new study.Only 9 percent of the bombers were Iraqis, said the report by the SITE Institute, a counterterror group.The analysis bolsters the Bush administration's claims that the Iraqi borders are not well policed and fanatical foreign jihadist have been streaming into the country to wreak deadly havoc.SITE recently discovered a "Martyr's List" that Zarqawi posted on a Web site to commemorate the fanatics who were recruited as foot soldiers in...

Saudi Arabia has funneled tens of thousands of dollars into the "outreach" programs of Columbia University's Middle East Institute, which until last week was training some of the city's public-school teachers in how to teach students about Middle East politics. Since 2002, the government-owned Saudi Aramco has given the institute annual grants of $15,000 for unspecified outreach activities. The institute's outreach activities have included a 15-week teacher-training course on Middle East politics led by Columbia faculty members and graduate students. In a letter dated April 27, 2004, a scholar of Arab nationalism who took over the Middle East Institute in...

Bangladesh is a remote South Asian country, about the size of Florida, bounded on three sides by India. Since independence in 1971, acquired in a bloody civil war from the politically and militarily dominant western wing of Pakistan, Bangladesh has known only mounting adversities. Geographically the country is an alluvial plain formed by the confluence of two major rivers, the Ganges and the Brahmaputra. Climatically it is a wash-basin of hurricanes sweeping north from the Bay of Bengal, and regular monsoon flooding from over-flowing rivers. But if it is not watched and adequate preventive measures not taken, Bangladesh could well...

Saudi Hate Ideology Fills US Mosques Freedom House’s Center for Religious Freedom has completed a year-long study of documents collected from more than a dozen Saudi-funded mosques in the United States—and the study confirms what many of us had long suspected: Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques. (Hat tip: TexasSecurityMom.) Among the key findings of the report: * Various Saudi government publications gathered for this study, most of which are in Arabic, assert that it is a religious obligation for Muslims to hate Christians and Jews and warn against imitating, befriending, or helping them in any way, or...

The idea that Osama bin Laden is an agent of some sinister power is no longer confined to the lunatic fringe; it has been taken up by the Saudi Interior Minister. From the Washington Times, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- The Saudi interior minister has said the world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, is an agent of an enemy of the oil-rich kingdom. Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz said, "Bin Laden is the agent of a certain party, no doubt." Nayef did not identify the suspected party, the daily newspaper Okaz reported...

Counterterrorism efforts got a major boost last week when an American district court found three Muslim organizations and one individual, mostly based in the Chicago area, guilty of funding Hamas and fined them an astonishing US$156 million. The four were found liable for their roles in the murder of an American teenager, David Boim, on May 13, 1996, when he was shot by Hamas operatives as he waited for a bus near Jerusalem. This case is important in itself, providing some measure of justice and relief for the Boim family. Beyond that, it helps fight terrorism in four ways.First, it...

I was just watching CBN news and they were saying that one of the largest mosques in North America is under construction in Boston (anyone in Boston aware of this?). The mosque has Wahabi connection and is associated with the Islamic Society of Boston (with Wahabi and terrorist connections). The city of Boston sold the land for 25-50% of its actual value, all without comments from the mayor's office and Boston Globe. What's going on here? We are over in the Middle East bombing Arabs. Something like 70% or more Arabs hate the USA and we're importing radical Islamists right...

Tuesday, November 23, 2004 City gives break to terror-related mosque?Muslim group buys land from government for fraction of value Posted: November 23, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com A huge mosque set to be built in Boston is raising eyebrows for two reasons: its link to terror, and the fact the city government sold the land for the project at a fraction of its value. The 60,000-square-foot Islamic Cultural Center will cost $22 million, according to a report by the Christian Broadcasting Network. The Islamic Society of Boston, which is overseeing the project, allegedly has ties to radical Islam, with its founder,...

BOSTON, Massachusetts - A mosque is rising in the heart of Boston. Not just any mosque, but the largest mosque in the northeastern United States. At a cost of $22 million, the 60,000-square-foot Islamic Cultural Center will be a prominent symbol of the growth of Islam in America. But the project is under fire, as some say it will also be a symbol of radical Islam. The Islamic Society of Boston is under scrutiny for ties to radicalism. But the society says it does not tolerate extremism. And yet, some former and present leaders of the society have been tied...

It is time to reject extremist, politicised Islam and the terrorism associated with it. We need a reformation which retains the eternal message of compassion and humility that the Prophet (PBUH) practised in Mecca. I am convinced most Muslims still believe in such a humane Islam. The carnage in a Shia mosque in Sialkot on Friday, October 1, 2004 resulted in the death of 31 human beings who had come to pray to Allah. A bomb blast on October 7 killed 40 people who had come to attend a Sunni gathering in Multan to commemorate the first anniversary of the...

Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily reported October 1 a Global Information System (GIS) report from Sarajevo that the Saudi and Iranian governments are working through Bosnian terrorist groups to support Chechen Islamist terrorist and guerilla operations against the Russian government.A secret Wahabbi terrorist organization, Kvadrat (Quadrant), whose membership practice "Islam from the roots," was founded in Sarajevo in 1995. Kvadrat has expanded dramatically during 2004 in operations and funding by opening a new string of offices and facilities in Bosnia and in the Raska (Sandzak) Muslim area of southern Serbia. A new base for future operations is being built in...

Terrorist PACBy J. Michael WallerInsight Magazine | November 21, 2003 On September 11, 2001, as people around the world opened their hearts and their checkbooks to victims of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, a prominent Muslim activist laid out $3,000 of his own. But he didn't have the victims in mind. He used the occasion to help re-elect one of his favorite federal lawmakers: a feisty left-winger who kept the FBI in her political crosshairs. According to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, Abdurahman Alamoudi wrote two checks that day totaling $3,000 to the campaign committee of...

GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT INTELLIGENCE BRIEF Al-Qaida driving U.S. out of Saudi Arabia Amid terror threat, ambassador telling Americans to get out Posted: May 15, 2004 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com The U.S. presence in Saudi Arabia has been threatened by an al-Qaida operative who has escaped the clutches of the American military for more than two years, reports Geostrategy-Direct, the global intelligence news service. Despite Saudi government efforts, al-Qaida operatives like Mustafa Abdul Kader Abed Al Ansari are driving the 35,000 Americans and many of the companies they work for out of Saudi Arabia. About 3,000 Americans work in the oil...

WASHINGTON - During the Iraq (news - web sites) war, Saudi Arabia secretly helped the United States far more than has been acknowledged, allowing operations from at least three air bases, permitting special forces to stage attacks from Saudi soil and providing cheap fuel, U.S. and Saudi officials say. The American air campaign against Iraq was essentially managed from inside Saudi borders, where military commanders operated an air command center and launched refueling tankers, F-16 fighter jets, and sophisticated intelligence gathering flights, according to the officials. Much of the assistance has been kept quiet for more than a year by...

<p>TASHKENT, Uzbekistan (AP) - As many as 20 militants seized a large number of hostages Wednesday during a standoff with authorities after a grenade blast in Uzbekistan's capital, police said. A Russian television network said three people were wounded in the latest violence in the Central Asian nation. The Tashkent blast came at the end of a day when police scoured the capital in pursuit of fugitive militants, and reportedly arrested at least 30. A police official said those in custody so far were adherents of the strict Wahhabi Islamic sect, which was believed to have inspired Osama bin Laden, not members of an extremist group President Islam Karimov has implied were behind the attacks.</p>

RIYADH, 21 March 2004 — The head of the Supreme Commission for Tourism yesterday dismissed a US media outcry over a notice on the commission’s website saying Jews are banned from Saudi Arabia. Prince Sultan ibn Salman, secretary general of the SCT, said advice on the SCT’s website that the Kingdom banned Jews from entering the country was “blown out of all proportions” by US media seeking to portray the Kingdom as anti-Semitic. He also washed his hands of the website saying it was an experimental site launched in Dubai last year and designed by a private company. “The website...

Russians charged with Qatar bomb Mr Yanderbiyev had just returned to his car after attending Friday prayers Two Russian intelligence agents have been charged in Qatar with the murder of Chechen rebel figure Zelimkhan Yanderbiyev, local officials say. The men were detained five days after Mr Yanderbiyev, wanted by Moscow for terror offences, was killed by a car bomb in the Gulf state's capital Doha. Three Russians were initially detained but the third has been since released. Confirming that the detainees are anti-terrorism agents, Russia condemned the arrests as a "hostile move". The insinuation of the Qatar authorities cannot be...

First raids of 2004 not quite Mardi Gras BAQUBAH, Iraq — It wasn’t exactly the place for strings of beads and parade floats, but when they were done, Task Force Ironhorse Soldiers had something to celebrate. In the first Iraqi raids conducted by Coalition forces in the new year, Operation Sugar Bowl took 4th Infantry Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team into target areas identified as Bourbon Street, New Orleans and the French Quarter. Lining up their convoys at Camp Scunion just after midnight, the infantrymen, tankers and scouts had just enough time to wish each other a happy New Year...

The following forum was held at the Center for the Study of Popular Culture's annual Restoration Weekend, Nov. 13-16, 2003. David Keene:  My name is Dave Keene, and those of you who know me know that I know very little about the Middle East, almost nothing about Shiites and Sunnis and Wahhabi Muslims.  However, since September 11, like a lot of us, I’ve spent a good bit of my time reading and trying to learn something about this, and, of course, one of the most delicate issues that the current administration has been dealing with is the question of Saudi Arabia. ...

The Nuclear Suitcases Of Sheikh Osama Bin Laden - A Christmas Message From Daleel Almojahid PipeLineNews - Editor's note: As we consider the heightened state of terror awareness, it may be instructive to read a sample of the type of "chatter" that has alarmed the intelligence gathering mechanism of the United States. It comes from an Internet source called Daleel Almohahid which means roughly, Guide or Directive of the Jihad, in Arabic. Internet message boards such as this one have been increasingly cluttered with such ominous warnings. This is a remarkable document. Many of the facts claimed by it are...

Florida Islamic Conference Outed As Jihad-Fest By Beila Rabinowitz & William A. Mayer (Washington) PipeLineNews - Although possibly viewed as heretical – in some quarters - it is really hard to ignore the fact that one of Mohammed’s prime intentions, when creating Islam was to unite the warring Arab tribes and factions into one nation. This statement is not meant to demean the softer, more lofty side of the religion - especially considering that much of it is derived from the Bible – but it is really necessary to grasp this key fact - of Islam’s practicality and historic...
