To acquaint himself with the soul of Islam J.Y. Atlas had openhearted conversations with influential Muslim scholars and artists. From Jakarta to New York and from London to Lahore, this Christian theologian met with imams and Sufis, academics and feminists, punkers and poets. The result is a book full of novel insights that will help us to transcend today's cultural and religious impasses.

Review: Brewer's Rogues, Villains, Eccentrics by William Donaldson. Brewer's Rogues, Villains, Eccentrics: An A-Z of Roguish Britons Through the Ages by William Donaldson 659pp, Cassell, £20 Queuing, home ownership, evangelical Christianity, team games, hypocrisy, long walks in the rain, punk rock, boy scouts, the royal household, buying biographies, gardening, the common law, train-spotting, the pub: the character-building feats of English self-definition (which includes compiling lists thereof) may be endless but there is one category that subsumes and explains all the others.
The English are meant to be eccentric. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable. When You Kill Ten Million Africans You Aren't Called 'Hitler' Take a look at this picture.
Do you know who it is? Most people haven’t heard of him. But you should have. When you see his face or hear his name you should get as sick in your stomach as when you read about Mussolini or Hitler or see one of their pictures. My Journey from Salafism to Sufism, Part Four… Continued from Part Three.
Before I left for Egypt I had somewhat learned the videography trade, had some of my own film equipment, and had pretty much decided to dedicate my life to this particular trade if Allah (swt) willed it so. Thus, once I found myself in Egypt, my first order of business was to try and find some English language Islamic television channels to work for since I had heard that a lot of these channels are based in Egypt. I googled a few, emailed some on a longshot mentioning my qualifications, and actually ended up getting a response from one. This particular channel is still up and running today, and featured many of the VERY well known Salafist scholars, preachers and da’ea. For the first few months everything was business as usual, and I didn’t have much to complain about.
As my zikr increased, my thirst for it increased. But, I also knew that feelings alone are not enough. 0200601. Under the Banner of Heaven. Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith (ISBN 1-4000-3280-6) is an investigative nonfiction book by best-selling author Jon Krakauer, first published in July 2003.
It is a juxtaposition of two stories: the origin and evolution of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and a modern double murder committed in the name of God by brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty, who subscribed to a fundamentalist version of Mormonism. The Laffertys were formerly members of a very small splinter group called the School of Prophets, led by a man named Robert C.
Crossfield (also known by his prophet name Onias). The group accepts many beliefs of the original church at the time when it ceased the practice of polygamy in the 1890s but does not identify with those who call themselves fundamentalist Mormons. Synopsis[edit] Murders[edit] The murders were particularly cruel, with Dan claiming that he slit the victims' throats. Mormon history[edit] Comparisons[edit] Controversy[edit]
Reading Ardor. Final thoughts, continued… G captures the plot and feel of Ada rather elegantly, so rather than attempt my own summary that will likely sag in all the wrong places, I’ll let his stand.
Now for my last thoughts before we close off Reading Ardor. There’s something humbling about a novel that doesn’t make it easy, that considers lazy reading a serious character flaw, and lazy readers a waste of epidermis. Ada, or Ardor is that novel. It expects you to pay attention and will cheerfully piss on you if you don’t. Ada took me on an exhausting emotional journey, specifically because of this thing Nabokov does.

Body Language: And Behavioral Profiling by Mark H. Ford. The Psychopath Test. The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry is a 2011 book by Jon Ronson in which he explores the concept of psychopathy, along with the broader mental health "industry" including mental health professionals and the mass media.
It spent the whole of 2012 on United Kingdom bestseller lists and ten weeks on the The New York Times Best Seller list.[1] Primary themes[edit] Ronson visits purported psychopaths, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists who have studied them, particularly Canadian psychologist Robert D. Hare, the eponymous author of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, a 20‑part test administered to detect psychopathy. Ronson explores the idea that many corporate and governmental leaders are psychopaths whose actions to others can only be explained by taking that fact into account, and he privately uses the Hare test to determine if he can discern any truth to it.
