Even fighters loyal to Assad have despaired at the regime's lack of action towards IS. Weiss and Hassan touch on the role of psychology and technology, but not in as much detail as they concentrate on the political paradigm that has brought together the common interests of Iran and the United States in opposing ISIS, and at the same time an alliance between Assad and Teheran also exists. Or is my subconscious just tricking me into believing a certain expertise in international relations? Seriously, if this author has a paying gig at Foreign Policy Magazin This book was written with an agenda, and far from being a objective view of the complicated middle-east situation as it stands today. New articles by this author. His main error in relation to ISIS was encouraging them in the earlier years of their development in order, pretty much, to make his regime look good in comparison. Sign in. Table of Contents Rave and Reviews. The race to the presses seemed to sacrifice something in style, finesse, and narrative that makes "ISIS" less memorably impactful and more textbook tedious to read. Escape the Present with These 24 Historical Romances. A new generation of terror has dawned in the world and to understand how to stop it, we must understand who they are. I found it difficult to grasp a lot of the geopolitical aspects of rival factions etc, being unfamiliar with the geographical and political structures of the middle east. The group seems, in many ways, to have been the child of an ill-starred confluence of Wahhabism, Baathism, Sunni-Shi'ite sectarianism, tribal politics, and the West's frequently inept interventions in the Middle East. The country was carved into fiefs by the militant organizations, which comprised all hues of ideology — jihadist, nationalist, tribal or secular. Both these neighbours had a unique feature in common — they were ruled by a strongman belonging to a religious minority who was autocratic and iron-fisted. It sold antiquities like golden statues and coins to make money, thereby obliterating the history of the land. The two authors definitely has done their research and while the future will no doubt have more scholarly books analyzing ISIS with more information this book is quite helpful at the moment given how little book length treatment currently exists on ISIS. But was I really clever enough to work all this out on my own? Paperback , pages.

A well-researched and timely book published in February, about the so-called "Islamic State", its history, economics and expansion It will be quite anticlimactic if the region which had been the cradle of human civilisation, will also turn into its graveyard. The Guardian. Most of the senior leadership of ISIS is comprised of ex-Baathists, which is one reason they are so successful raising money and organising among the Sunni tribes. By so doing he hoped to show the world that he was a victim of terrorists who wanted to overthrow his government.

A new generation of terror has dawned in the world and to understand how to stop it, we must understand who they are. Stern and Mr. The authors managed to interview a few ISIS members but what they said about their motivations is nothing new. More filters. This is the first time I had listen to Qarie Marshall narrate and he did a good job. Jan 30, Mohamad Ballan rated it really liked it. With the mainstream media so politically canted, the book was refreshing in that it did not seem to have a political agenda. Thank you! Clearly the United States and allies will win this war, but the death and destruction caused, will in my opinion, not be forgotten by the poor people of the Third World and the people of the Middle East in particular. Thus, as I read, it was difficult to retain in memory who was who, who was allied to who, and what all the acronyms stood for and whose side thw groups stood for under said acronyms. I came away from that thinking I understood the issue better, rather than simply having more facts. This was a pan-Islamic effort freely supported by the West who saw in it a perfect opportunity to embarrass the Soviets for their similar role in Vietnam where the US was at war. In that case, we can't Furthermore, not only do the upper ranks of ISIL consist of former Iraqi Ba'athists, but also of the very same 'political prisoners' released under Assad's general amnesty in , in order to radicalise the opposition. What were they thinking? Attending prayers became mandatory. While I appreciated the solid factual grounding of the book, I would have liked to have heard more about some of the to my mind more mystifying aspects of ISIS. I don't suggest jumping right into it without any pre-existing knowledge on the question. Surely such bombing would do no more than create a new generation of terrorists, just like my grandmother would have been if Germany had won the war? Nov 26, JonRaven rated it liked it. More interestingly perhaps are the links between the Iranian government and Al-Qaida, who, on the face of things, are sworn enemies. The book also provides important insight into the logistical and military capabilities of ISIS. We come to understand that the group flourished when the post-Saddam Iraqi government sidelined the Sunni community and espoused sectarian tensions, all with the knowledge of the U. The result was that the only means of support came from Iran. Current and up-to-date. ISIS brutality is evident in their use of even mentally challenged girls of age three and thirteen as suicide bombers to blow up a police-recruitment line in Iraq. But scary to think of it happening in this manner. The authors outline the serious danger ISIS poses to Western civilization and for the average Muslim and other religions of the world in this war of ideology. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to: a. Coming as it does at the fag end of communism as a whole, the jihadists were successful in driving out the invaders and hoisting an extremist regime under the Taliban. And in the end, i still wasn't sure about the goals and what's really driving ISIS. Showing Most of the senior leadership of ISIS is comprised of ex-Baathists, which is one reason they are so successful raising money and organising among the Sunni tribes. The end of war in Afghanistan was followed by American military presence during the Kuwait war and occupation of Iraq. The namesake government was partisan and was tottering even with the deadly US firepower at its back. It continues its discussion by zeroing in on the schism that develops between al-Qaeda and the emergence of ISI over strategy in the sectarian civil war in Iraq, and integrates events in Syria that will culminate in the movement to overthrow Bashir al-Assad. Unlike Bin Laden, al-Zarqawi was also different than the other terrorist celebrity in an important regard: al-Zarqawi believes that he is destined to re-establish the Caliphate which means bringing about an Islamic empire again.

Radicals who fought under other names have reconstituted as ISIS, according to this book, which tracks a welter of confusing political alliances of convenience and otherwise.

Though not exclusively Christian, the graphic novel, The Beast Within, will educate its target audience by using attractive illustrations, relatable issues, and understandable morals in a fictional, biblically inspired story. This thesis will include character designs, artwork, chapter summaries, and a single chapter of a self-written, self- illustrated graphic novel along with a short summary of Christian references and symbols. The novel will follow six half-human, half-animal warriors on their adventure to restore the balance of their world, which has been disrupted by a powerful enemy. GRAPHIC EVANGELISM 4 Graphic Evangelism The Mainstream Graphic Novel for Christian Evangelism Introduction As recorded in Matthew 28:16-20, all Christians are commanded by Christ to spread the Gospel to all corners of the earth. Many believers almost immediately equate evangelism to Sunday morning services, church mission trips, or distribution of witty, ever-popular salvation tracts; however, Jesus utilized other methods to teach His people, such as telling simple stories and using familiar images and illustrations.

MUSLIM WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THE GLOBAL VILLAGE: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Azizah Yahia al-Hibri t INTRODUCTION In this age of information technology that shrank our world into a global village, it is fair to ask how this recent development has impacted Muslim women's rights across the world. Having just traveled through nine Muslim countries, ranging from Pakistan and Bangladesh to the Gulf States, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon, I would answer that it is leading, slowly but surely, to reassessment and change.' Attempts to accelerate the pace of this change, however, without full understanding of its complex topology, and the deep-rooted commitment by most Muslim women to spiritual and cultural authenticity, could halt or even reverse this process at great cost to women particularly and Muslim societies as a whole.

THE BEAST AND THE REVIVAL OF ROME: MUSSOLINI AND ROME IN THE PREMILLENNIAL IMAGINATION JON STAMM 130 Pages Premillennial dispensationalism became immensely influential among American Protestants who saw themselves as defenders of orthodoxy. As theological conflict heated up in the early 20th century, dispensationalism’s unique eschatology became one of the characteristic features of the various strands of “fundamentalists” who fought against modernism and the perceived compromises of mainline Protestantism. Their embrace of the dispensationalist view of history and Biblical prophecy had a significant effect on how they interpreted world events and how they lived out their faith. These fundamentalists established patterns of interpretation that in the second half of the 20th century would fuel the emergence of a politically influential form of Christian Zionism.

It is assumed that “[t]he way in which what is going on in the Middle East has become a reli- gious war has long been obvious” (Murray 2014). According to this view, present-day violence in the region is best understood as a resurgence of ancient hatreds, while political, economic, or other ‘ra- tional’ calculations comprehensible to the Western analyst take the back seat. Academic scholarship (see Fearon and Laitin 2000 for an overview), however, has consistently emphasised the shortcomings of such a primordialist perspective: in spite of the enduring nature of ethnoreligious cleavages, vio- lence is only episodic; simplistic arguments about ancient hatreds consequently fail to explain why ethnic or sectarian language is relied upon in any particular time and place while remaining unused in others.

Karp for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 4, 2009 . Title: Truth, Justice, and the American Way: What Superman Teaches Us about the American Dream and Changing Values within the United States Abstract approved: ____________________________________________________________________ Evan Gottlieb This thesis is a study of the changes in the cultural definition of the American Dream. I have chosen to use Superman comics, from 1938 to the present day, as litmus tests for how we have societally interpreted our ideas of “success” and the “American Way.” This work is primarily a study in culture and social changes, using close reading of comic books to supply evidence. I argue that we can find three distinct periods where the definition of the American Dream has changed significantly—and the identity of Superman with it. I also hypothesize that we are entering an era with an entirely new definition of the American Dream, and thus Superman must similarly change to meet this new definition.
