headache the whole day. no progress

CHAPTER 2: The big, untold story- Part 1. The greatest spiritual awakening in the Middle east is underway.

CHAPTER 21: Talabani's Test (The insurgency, the syrge, and the future)....It's boring halfway but Ill try to finish.insha Allah.

I don't have urge to read now. Goodreads is a good sanctuary when this emotion attacks.

I vehemently disagree with his definition of REFORMERS. He defined it a those Muslims who are secular in their approach to political and social change. This is totally unacceptable in Islamic perspective. To me, they are not REFORMERS but they are those who are westernized in thinking. Because there's no place of SECULAR APPROACH in ISLAM.

PART 2: The Reformers, Chapter 14: ISLAM IS THE ANSWER, BUT JIHAD IS NOT THE WAY.

Two facts that this book revealed to me. 1. One of Bin Lade's wives is a Palestinian origin. 2. Ahmadenijad's wife is a descendant of Prophet S.A.W. More bits of info to find out that make this book so interesting. but there is one thing for SURE, NOT EVERYTHING WE READ IS TRUE.

CHAPTER 13: THE ROAD AHEAD ( Conversation with the former director of Central Intelligence)

CHAPTER 12: Making for the Mahdi ( How Shia eschatology has has driven Iranian foreign policy)

CHAPTER TEN : Revolution ( How Ayatollah Khamenie and Mahmoud Ahmadenijad rise to power)
