Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West | Raymond Ibrahim
Pickpick

Very interesting perspective on the history of the animosity between the West and Islam. Ibrahim lays out the most important battles between the two and how they shaped the world

Infidel | Ayaan Hirsi Ali

An incredible story of a woman‘s resilience in the face of oppressive Islamic faith. This story truly opened my eyes to the reality of what it means to be an Islamic woman and how some western cultures are not helping them move forward. Having studied religion and female oppression extensively, I found this book gave a pure-voiced clarity about what I already feared for Islamic women

Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror | Mahmood Mamdani
post image
Pickpick

Mamdani is a lucid thinker, and writes with great clarity about the world that shaped what is now casually referred to as Islamic terrorism. As an anthropologist and political scientist he lays out the historical contexts of European colonialism and the Cold War to remind us that no situation arises out of thin air, but through careful cultivation by geopolitical superpowers. Informative. This was published in 2004; would love a current follow-up.

batsy This was a reread for me and maybe a lot of it went over my head when I first read it, but for this precise moment in history a lot of things are crystal clear. 1y
Cuilin So much comes down to white colonialism!! Ugh when will we learn from the past? 1y
batsy @Cuilin Pretty devastating that the same things keep repeating. 1y
Reggie I have a coworker who says that every we(the US) bomb someone, future terrorism is born. And that‘s just the obvious stuff we know about. And then I think about Rwanda and their genocide, set into motion years before when they were occupied by Belgium. Stacked. Great review, Suba. 1y
batsy @Reggie Thanks @Reggie. I hope you find it useful if you do check it out. I'm at this point in my life where the more I read and learn, the more enraged I get. 1y

TheBookHippie AHA. It is good and bad... HAHAHAHA. Just because it feels good doesn't mean it is okay. There are rules. NOT the rules of the far right religious idiots but common decency consent etc.... 1y

This one seemed interesting to me. Does this mean every fiction author is prophet?
