Primarily penned before his passing, this work aims to prove that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat "has been the ultimate arch-terrorist for over 50 years." Bukay (political science, U. of Haifa, Israel) asserts many familiar charges against the leader of the "terrorist national Palestinian movement," frequently arguing that they are the result of essential characteristics of the Arab culture. He contends that Arafat's sole political aim has been to "destroy Israel," and he lays almost the entirety of the Israel-Palestine conflict at Arafat's door (and the votes he mysteriously attracts in the UN General Assembly). While some of Bukay's allegations against Arafat are grounded in truth, the uninformed reader will be hard pressed to distinguish facts from what serious students of the conflict will recognize as distortions commonly lobbed by pro-occupation Zionists.

The twentieth century was a fascinating period of profound political, social and economic changes in Indonesia. These changes contributed to the diversification of the religious landscape and as a result, religious authority was redistributed over an increasing number of actors. Although many Muslims in Indonesia continued to regard the ulama, the traditional religious scholars, as the principle source of religious guidance, religious authority has become more diffused and differentiated over time. The present book consists of contributions which all deal with the multi-facetted and multidimensional topic of religious authority and aim to complement each other. Most papers deal with Indonesia, but two dealing with other countries have been included in order to add a comparative dimension. Amongst the topics dealt with are the different and changing roles of the ulama, the rise and role of Muslim organizations, developments within Islamic education, like the madrasa, and the spread of Salafi ideas in contemporary Indonesia.
