The Neglected Duty / druk Heruitgave
the Creed of Sadat¿s Assassins
2013 || Paperback || Hans Jansen || RVP Press
THE NEGLECTED DUTY, first published in 1986, shows that in the 1970s and 1980s, Egypt was already pregnant with twins: the Arab Spring and the seizure of power by Sharia fundamentalists, organized in the Muslim Brotherhood. Since June 2012, the Brotherhood rules Egypt-its dream finally come true. Is Sharia law to be applied in its entirety?

Demonizing The West
Challenges Facing Arab Culture
2024 || Paperback || Mohsin Shawkat || Brave New Books
This Book.
The image of the West in contemporary Arab culture is distorted and devoid of friendliness because those who painted this image lacked free and independent thinking away from dogma or the influence of the old dominant powers in the Arab region. It is difficult to separate anti-west and anti-Jews. Hence, Jews occupy a large portion of this book, since it is the easiest and quickest way to demonize the West. The book reviews the most prominent names that contributed to “Demonizing ...
