The State We Are In :  Identity, Terror and the Law of Jihad.
Paperback - 159 pages -
The London terror outrage of July 7 has brought it home to us that the threat from suicide bombers does not simply come from foreigners who slip into the country, but from people who live and have grown up amongst us.
How and why British-born Muslims would want to blow themselves up is difficult to understand, though understand we must if we are to prevent these acts in the future.
The chapters in this book are written by evolving and renowned Muslim scholars in the field of Islamic studies : Hamza Yusuf, Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti, Gibril F Haddad, Yahya Birt, David Dakake, Suheil Laher, H.A.Hellyer & Aftab Ahmad Malik.

The Islam / West Debate
Paperback - 299 pgs -
 Documents from a global debate on terrorism, U.S. policy & the Middle East.
In 2002, sixty prominent American intellectuals released an open letter defending the use of military force against al-Qa'ida.
The letter sparked an impassioned international debate unlike any other, in which jihadists, journalists, liberal Muslims, and German pacifists engaged one another on the most pressing issues of our time terrorism, U.S. policy, and Islam-West relations.
A valuable resource for specialist and non-specialist alike, this volume chronicles that debate and includes contributions from both sides of the political spectrum in America and the Middle East-and even from al-Qa'ida.

Covering Islam : How the Media and the Experts Determine How we See the Rest of the World. by Edward W. Said
Paperback - 224 pages
A penetrating look at the way in which experts, policy-makers and the media have dealt with the crisis in Iran, the Middle East, and the World Trade Centre bombing. With examples, Edward Said demonstrates that the government-business establishment has produced a portrait of Islam and Muslims based on ignorance, inaccuracy and prejudice.
.
'Edward Said is a brilliant and unique amalgam of scholar, aesthete and political activist ... He challenges and stimulates our thinking in every area'
---Washington Post Book World
'Edward Said belongs to that small band of American intellectuals who talk sense (and write beautifully) about the outside world' ---Guardian
