The book explains how the much-dreaded fascism continues till this date in the form of de facto colonization and how is it depriving people in the West from reaching the truth and people in the Muslim world from excercising their right to self-detrmination.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book provides a perspective for peace activists in the West and advocates of the Islamic movements for self-determination in the East to ponder anew over the following points:
-
Can their collective way of struggle bring political and social revolution to society?
-
Is Muslims' way of struggle consistent with the method of the Prophet (pbuh)?
-
Do they see in their countries and in the international arena the possibility of Muslims exercising their right to self-determination, achieving a real freedom? Can the Islamic movement deliver on this matter in the prevailing circumstances? How can the internal obstacles and external challenges be successfully tackled?
-
Muslims have been living a life of servitude and misery for several centuries, deprived of freedom and political and financial independence. Living under never-ending colonialism, their sense of freedom and self-respect has dramatically suffered. Can one expect these oppressed nations to get ready for great sacrifices and to deliver the world of the worst form of fascist oppression?
About the Author
The author received his early education at missionary schools. He was familiar with many Christian concepts when, under Pope John-Paul II the Vatican called for a dialogue with other religions. As part of this initiative, in 1979-80 the author was invited as a lay Muslim to deliver a series of talks on Islam to some Roman Catholic nuns. This led him to look at the Bible from a Muslim perspective, and his interest grew as he learnt more about the misconceptions and historical factors that have alienated Christians from Islam. The impact of this on world events prompted further study and reflection, the results of which appeared partly as some press articles in 1998. Notes made during the study in more than a quarter of a century have now been updated and are presented in this book. In Thy Seed looks at the Bible from a completely new angle, and also discusses some related aspects to help clarify the issues. Though the author presents his findings from the point of view of a Muslim, he does it in a spirit of conciliation and to promote understanding. Developments following 9/11 make such a work both relevant and urgent, and it is hoped that the book will contribute to developing a better relationship among the world’s great monotheistic faiths and bring them closer. Different branches of the same tree, they count around one half of the world’s population as their adherents, and can together bring harmony and peace to a troubled world.
