   Islam Without a Veil
 
   At the height of the Cold War US President John F. Kennedy stood in front of the Berlin Wall and addressed the world: “There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin.

 Today, the threat of communism has dissipated after the Soviet Union imploded, giving way to a new conflict, some would say between Islam and the rest of the world. Some advocate that there can be no understanding or common ground between the House of Islam and the non-Muslim world. Indeed, ever since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 by 19 Muslim terrorists, Islam has come under the spotlight and what emerged was not a pretty picture. Hijackings, bombings, beheadings, suicide fanatics who killed scores of innocents, including women and children, slaughtered other Muslims  Nineteen men was all it took to stain the name of one of the world's three great religions and to open a schism between the East and the West, between the Judeo-Christian West and the mostly Muslim East. However, true Islam offers a very different picture.

To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy let me say those of you who believe that there cannot be a gentler, kinder and more pragmatic face of Islam, let them come to Kazakhstan.

While the Arab World Slept
The impact of the Bush Years on The Middle East

       

The Bush administration’s intent – to bring democracy to the Middle East was a noble concept. It was the way in which they went about it that was flawed. This book looks back at the Bush years and examines what went wrong. It also looks at why the United State is the only possible peace broker in the Palestinian-Israeli dispute.
                                                     

 



Since the beginning of time predicting the future has always been one of man’s strongest desires. He has employed scientists and charlatans who in turn used everything from sophisticated mega-computers to black magic. All have proven equally useless. There is however one method of predicting the future that has proven almost infallible, especially when it come to predicting the future in the Middle East; it’s called a history book.

“…a fascinating walk through the Arab world and the events of recent years, while at the same time it reminds us that one's lack of history will often make us repeat our mistakes.  Mr. Salhani gives us an amazing perspective on the real situation in the world, one that US policy advisors would be smart to follow.”
 --Edward Gabriel, former US Ambassador to Morocco.
 
We need a careful and discriminating analyst to help us avoid being blown up intellectually and, alas, even literally. Claude Salhani is that analyst. He is familiar with all the twists, turns and disappointments of the Middle East’s history because (among other things) it is his history. He is moved to write by a loyalty to the people with whom he grew up and whose pains he feels as his own. But he also knows that many Middle Eastern problems arise in part from the clumsy interventions of outsiders ignorant of that history and so liable to repeat their clumsiness. Claude is always lucid, readable, and entertaining—his prose is as sharp and well-defined… Claude’s love and knowledge of the Middle East and Middle Easterners shine through the analysis.
--John O’Sullivan, former speechwriter for British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher
