American Realism Revisited: Lethal Minds & Latent Threats [Paperback]

Hakim Hazim (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 2005

Al-Qaeda and other militant cults are nothing new to the world. Cults of this type worship God by using violence against unbelievers to advance their cause. Idea or religious based justifications for violence are the impetuses behind their actions.

American Realism Revisited is an assessment of the vital issues at stake for America, its allies, and its potential enemies. Author Hakim Hazim brings these issues to the forefront in a clear, nonpolitical, and unbiased way that allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. The chapters are a compilation of research papers that touch on the following:

• Attacking the enemy by suicide bombings
• Hazim’s proposed militant cult theory
• The fate of democratic reform in Iraq
• America’s relationship with Russia

Terrorism has changed the face of America—and maybe even her soul. Democracy as we once knew it is forever changed. There is no shortage of militant cults, and, unfortunately, those who are eager and willing to follow them. Hazim invites you to take a journey and gain insight into lethal minds and latent threats facing our country today.

This review is from: American Realism Revisited: Lethal Minds & Latent Threats (Paperback)

This collection of writings provides a detailed look at how ideologies move from the realm of thought into the reality of action. The coverage of Islamic ideals and the threats posed by radical elements of the faith is excellent. The work on Russia and North Korea is even more eye-opening; especially in light of the recent events in Georgia. A must read for those wanting to better understand the terrorist world view and the "latent threats" posed to the nation state.

This review is from: American Realism Revisited: Lethal Minds & Latent Threats (Paperback)

This book was so refreshing, well written, and relevant because it doesn't look to blame or bash anyone, but it is obvious the author is looking for solutions and direction for America's future. It goes into great depth and reveals the true MOTIVATIONS of those who put it all on a line for a cause in the form of terrorism. His militant cult theory is brilliant, yet simple to understand. The author really exposes the process for someone to come to posses what he terms a "Lethal Mind". He also doesn't loose sight of even greater threats to America than even militant cults. Hazim is obviously on the forefront in the field of terrorism and militant cults and his concern for this great country is revealed by the depth, thoroughness, and critical thinking that is reflected in this book. I highly suggest that everyone that desires a deeper undrstanding of the times we live in should get this book!
