It is problematic intrinsically because it is hooked on an ancestral dream on both the governmental and popular levels. Middle-Eastern medievalism is instrumental for the survival of undemocratic forms of government; and it guaranties a backward public opinion that complements the magic circle of the illusive vision through the demagoguery of the prevailing radical Islamic groups which are now fuelled and maintained by the petrodollar the industrial world provides in return for oil. To verify the above hypothesis, Professor Al Da'mi examines nine demonstrative paradoxes which crystallize the obsessive and blinding medievalism of this region of paradox' through discussions of the geographically loose and derogatory denomination of the Middle East', the durable residual impact of Ottoman legacy with its issues, the failure of constant and accumulative progress due to intermittent governmental change, the incongruity between state authority and the cultural elite, the toleration of despotism as a result of resilient medieval relationships and social structures, the futility of progressive change attempted by oppositions which carry identical reactionary values, the dilemma of the educational systems, the American involvement in Iraq and the region which stimulated cultural responses of revealing meaning. An Essay on Mesopotamianism demonstrates the continuity of the Western approaches to Iraq as a model case of regional significance.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51209381445905,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51209386328337,"sku":"NIN9781481739382","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52120772739345,"sku":"NLS9781481739382","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1481739387.jpg?v=1751085127"},{"product_id":"other-islam-book-muhammed-al-da-mi-9781477262344","title":"The Other Islam","description":"The reputation of Shi'ism in the Islamic world, as elsewhere, has undergone many vicissitudes, but it is now higher than ever.

Given the fact that such neo-Islamists, like very many unlettered Muslims, mistake religion for history and vice versa, Al Da'mi justifiably hypothesizes that neo-Islam is not Islam. It is not the Islam of the God-fearing and virtuous mosque-goers as it propagates a cult of conflict, violence and hatred, rather than the faith of 'peace' from which it derives its very Arabic name, 'salam'. Neo-Islam's theorists manufactured their own 'puritanical' concepts of religious 'renewal', holy war and state-building in an endeavor to mobilize young zealots to restore power in the Islamic World to a 'reformed' Islam through their form of government, better known as the caliphate, as government which had deteriorated, failed and, eventually, lost its historical state for fierce foreign foes due to proven flaws. To activate the above renovation program, the neo-Islamists retreated to history for Shi'i Islam's opposition techniques and secret societies (such as those of the Brethren of Purity and the Order of the Assassins) for inspiration and expertise to fulfill their ancestral dream of building a global Islamic state in the future. As they adopted the 'masculine vs. feminine' polemic, which was originally inspired by a desert low opinion of womanhood and by a post-colonial retrospective conception, the neo-Islamists proceeded on in an attempt to feminize the Western World. It is meant to reverse discourse of the Industrial West which is conceived to have opportunely penetrated into a feminized, veiled Islamic World in times of passivity and frailty. To develop the above argument, Professor Al Da'mi explores various formulations of neo-Islam as those of the Wahabis, the Muslim Brothers and the later terror groups with a specific reference to their common principles and goals.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52665162662161,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52665163120913,"sku":"NLS9781491865224","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781491865224.jpg?v=1762276588"},{"product_id":"under-the-turban-book-muhammed-al-da-mi-9781533677242","title":"Under the Turban","description":"Sameer, the protagonist of the Under the Turban tales has an inbuilt, ever-active magnet for women. His unique biochemical charisma as it shows its impact on Haraman women has undergone many vicissitudes, but it is now lower than ever. In this retrospective volume, Sameer shows the Angel Erotica through his life's remarkable milestones, firsthand and reported: from being a preschool child sexually molested by Badia for an unattainable orgasm, to Azra's far-fetched quest for a son, via a tapestry of unforgettable episodes, including those of Hakima's preliminary sex lessons, Malak's 'genius of the fingers', his wonder-working fingers, Wafa's agonizing tears, Sharifa's furious, though incidental love-making, Awatef's treacherous rape and Eva's voluptuous espionage, among other steamy tales that settled one by one in oblivion for decades at the bottom of Sameer's mine of memories till the Angel Erotica has dug and analyzed them out recently for his A History of Passion and Sex in the Haram City.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53361286578449,"sku":"NIN9781533677242","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-muhammed-al-da-mi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
