{"product_id":"9781493577538","title":"Islam Facts and Fiction And The Fight For Egypt","description":"This is the third book written by the author on the Egyptian Revolution. The other two books are: (1) \"Chain Reaction: Egypt's Revolt 2011 Illustrated\" and (2) \"A Matter of FAITH: The Islamic Spring\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The three books comprise the views of an Egyptian immigrant to the United Stated, left Egypt in 1984 while Mubarak was in power, never returned home due to Mubarak's pervasive corruption and destruction of Egypt. About ten million Egyptians face the same fate of the author of alienating the Nile Valley and never return. Many more millions of Egyptians could not flee from the grip of oppression and corruption of Mubarak, some drowned while attempting to arrive to the European shores. The only exceptions were Mubarak's two sons who were helped by their father to work abroad while their father squeezed the life out of 82 million remaining Egyptians. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To be fair, Egypt has taken the path of decay and destruction soon after the 1967's war with Israel and as a result of Nasser's hard-headed politics of spreading revolution, nationalism, and socialism in the Middle East. Thus, Hosni Mubarak was stuck with the heavy burden of fixing failing state about which he lacked any experience in handling. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mubarak's iron-grip on Egypt was not loosened by revolutionary resistance as it was by his aging, detachment from reality, and his wife's delusion in inheriting Egypt to her son Gamal Mubarak. Gamal would have succeeded his father without much resistance had not saboteurs managed to instigate killings of civilians, which ignited tsunamis of anger and violence. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The author described both the defunct regime of Mubarak and the newly elected Islamist regime from the point of view of a layman affected by his country politics from afar. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this book, the author adopts the same approach of pacing together the pieces of the puzzle of the military coup of the reverse revolution against Morsi, the newly elected president, and the return of Mubarak's old regime to power. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The entire book depends entirely on news fed to the author's family connection in Egypt, open Internet sources, and daily news and interviews. It is written in the heat of the moment and carried all emotions towards a wounded nation and people by one of them living thousands of miles away.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Islam Facts and Fiction And The Fight For Egypt\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 1 : Facts Favoring Islam\u003cbr\u003e Figurative Verses of Quran\u003cbr\u003e Creator and Creatures\u003cbr\u003e Heaven and Hell\u003cbr\u003e The Vocalization of Quranic Verses\u003cbr\u003e Institutionalized Corruption\u003cbr\u003e State-Controlled Education\u003cbr\u003e Rewards and Punishment\u003cbr\u003e Unison in Nature\u003cbr\u003e The Rituals of Orderly Living\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 2: Fiction in the Practice of Islam\u003cbr\u003e Literal Mystification of Quranic Ideas\u003cbr\u003e Coptic Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003e Al-Azhar's Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003e Shia's Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003e Laymen's Skepticism of the Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003e Western Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003e Implicating Quranic Verses in Prophetic Predictions\u003cbr\u003e Jews in Quran\u003cbr\u003e Secularism and Quran\u003cbr\u003e Shia and Quran\u003cbr\u003e Puritanical Salafis and Quran\u003cbr\u003e Wishful Faith\u003cbr\u003e Imposing Demands on the Divine\u003cbr\u003e Expecting the Divine to Restore Welfare\u003cbr\u003e Rejecting the Divine Altogether\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 3: Al-Azhar\u003cbr\u003e Sheikh Muhammad Metwally Al Shaarawy\u003cbr\u003e Sheikh Mahmoud Shaaban\u003cbr\u003e Sheikh Ahmed Al- Tayyib\u003cbr\u003e Sheikh Ali Goumaa\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 4: Muslim Brotherhood\u003cbr\u003e Clandestine Work\u003cbr\u003e Islamic Project\u003cbr\u003e Western mindset\u003cbr\u003e Stumbling Course\u003cbr\u003e Falling with Grace\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 5: Divine Science\u003cbr\u003e Doer, Death, Deeds\u003cbr\u003e Spirit and Matter\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 6: The Fight For Egypt\u003cbr\u003e Population Expansion versus Depletion of Resources\u003cbr\u003e Resisting Americanization\u003cbr\u003e Making A Tyrant\u003cbr\u003e Military Coup\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 7: Rabaa Al-Adawiya Massacres\u003cbr\u003e Rabaa Al-Adawiya alive\u003cbr\u003e Massacre Begins\u003cbr\u003e Shock and Disbelief\u003cbr\u003e Burning the mosque of Rabaa Al-Adawiya\u003cbr\u003e Unidentified dead bodies\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 8: Islamic Jihad\u003cbr\u003e The Duty of Jihad\u003cbr\u003e Tit For Tat\u003cbr\u003e Cairo's Resistance\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 9: Exiled Islamists\u003cbr\u003e Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi\u003cbr\u003e Sheikh Wagdi Ghoneim\u003cbr\u003e Youssef Moustafa Nada\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 10: Egyptian Copts\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 11: El-Sissi's Strategic Vision \u003cbr\u003e DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48528797171953,"sku":"9781493577538","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781493577538_p0.jpg?v=1786275752","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781493577538","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
