Preface: Hijacking The Holy Qur`an And Its Religion Islam - Muslims and Imperial Mobilization

The substance of these modern techniques of mind manipulation and behavior control is examined in the companion volume on Modernity.

(LOS ANGELES) - This book which you now hold in your hands, Hijacking The Holy Qur'an And Its Religion Islam – Muslims and Imperial Mobilization 1st Edition 2013, is a broad compendium of topics at the intersection of religion of Islam and political science. It is a case study in social engineering and is not intended as an advocacy of Islam. Volume I is abridged version.

This present compilation is broadly focused on demonstrating how the religion of Islam has systematically been misused for “imperial mobilization” and narrow self-interests, and how its singular scripture, the Holy Qur'an, has itself contributed to that state of affairs.

The demonstrations locally in Palestine were held in Haifa, the Triangle, Jerusalem, AlBireh, and the Negeb with the same message: Prawer shall not be passed or implemented and we emphasize the unity of all 12 million Palestinians.

Opinion/Editorial: How Obsession With `Nonviolence` Harms the Palestinian Cause

Oppressed people do not and should not have to explain their oppression to their oppressor, nor tailor their resistance to the comfort of the oppressors and their supporters.

(RAMALLAH The Electronic Intifada) - In recent years, western discourse surrounding the Palestinian cause has employed a few new — and superficial — adjectives to describe Palestinian resistance: Palestinian “nonviolent” resistance, Palestinian “peaceful” resistance, Palestinian “popular” resistance, Palestinian “unarmed” resistance.

Salafist Crimes in Syria Against Islam Escalate as Sunnis Join Shia in Repudiation

U.S. backed Salafist extremists are turning Syria into a living hell for women.

(DAMASCUS) - Reports from across Syria, increasingly arriving from such diverse locations as Aleppo, Qalamoun and Reqaa, lay bare massive crimes now being perpetrated against the Syrian people in areas under Salafist control.

A recent German domestic intelligence service annual report describes Salafism as the fastest growing Islamic movement in Syria. And indeed, interviews conducted by this observer recently in Damascus indicate that mainstream Salafism, with its emphasis on adherence to the Koran’s principles and standards for correct behavior towards humanity, is being deeply subverted in the Syrian Arab Republic by forces organized from outside this country.
