The Myth of the 'Islamic' Headscarf
A book containing the fullest coverage as to why Islam does not oblige Muslim women to cover their hair. Compiled by Omar Hussein Ibrahim, based in London, using the best academic material and press commentary available today.
THE SHAMIMA BEGUM STORY - Islamic State and the Myth of the 'Islamic' Headscarf
This Special Edition relates to author Omar Hussein Ibrahim's exposé entitled The Myth of the 'Islamic' headscarf first published in 2008. Shamima Begum and Islamic State shared many 'ideals' but the most obvious one was the fundamental necessity for a Muslim woman to cover the 'sexual appendage' of her hair. Failure to do so would be severely punished, as to go 'half-naked' in public was a major sin in the eyes of God, was it not? The fact that there is nothing in the Quran detailing this 'requirement' to cover a woman's hair in public, or that the hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) on the subject are probably forged is ignored by Islamic State and their followers. Indeed, so much el...
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Religion
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Religion is the first to bring together an extensive interdisciplinary engagement with the multiple ways in which the concepts and practices of translation and religion intersect. The book engages a number of scholarly disciplines in conversation with each other, including the study of translation and interpreting, religion, philosophy, anthropology, history, art history, and area studies. A range of leading international specialists critically engage with changing understandings of the key categories ‘translation’ and ‘religion’ as discursive constructs, thus contributing to the development of a new field of academic study, translation and r...
Lord Justice WARBY
This book deals with a recent Judicial Review case taken against Essex County Council over their irrational decision to criminalise a flyer which ridiculed the so-called 'Islamic' headscarf/burqa/niqab and advertised the world's biggest website on the subject. A leaflet depicted on the back cover of this volume - a few of which were left by Farid El Diwany, in an Essex library in 2020 and were very quickly condemned by the library as 'racist', 'racially motivated' and a 'hate-crime'. In breach of the Equality Act 2010. Any repeat of them being left in any Essex library would result in a permanent ban for Farid El Diwany and a complaint to the Police. It mattered not to Essex County Council, ...
The Al Qaeda Factor
The horrific and devastating events of September 11, 2001 changed the world's perception of Al Qaeda. What had been considered a small band of revolutionary terrorists capable only of attacking Western targets in the Middle East and Africa suddenly demonstrated an ability to strike globally with enormous impact. Subsequent plots perpetuated the impression of Al Qaeda as a highly organized and rigidly controlled organization with recruiters, operatives, and sleeper cells in the West who could be activated on command. We now know, however, that the role of Al Qaeda in global jihadist plots has varied significantly over time. New York Police Department terrorism expert Mitchell D. Silber argues...
Secrets, Spies and 7/7
On July 7th 2005 London suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. Despite one of the largest police investigations ever to take place in Britain, to date not a single person has been found guilty for the atrocity that killed over 50 people. Using unsealed court documents and declassified intelligence agency files Secrets, Spies and 7/7 takes you on a journey through the labyrinth of disinformation about the bombings. Drawing on over 7 years of research, Tom Secker shows how the official version of events, which blamed 4 British Muslim men, is a mess of contradictions, errors and fantasies. This unique investigation also explores the 'War on Terror' context in which the attacks took place and shows how an alternative look at the evidence suggests some very different culprits to those blamed by the official story.
