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.

This review is from: The Ultimate Tragedy: Colonialists Rushing to Global War to Save the Crumbling Empire (Paperback)

As their façade of democracy unravels the colonial fascists are set to wage another world war. The world cries out for justice as regional wars being waged to maintain their status quo of oppressive colonization fail utterly.

Operation 9/11, the war on Afghanistan, the disastrous occupation of Iraq, escalating tensions with Iran, Israeli terrorist attacks on Lebanon ...these are not isolated acts of extremism and war crimes. They are the first warning signs of a growing desperation in the ranks of colonialists to grab, control and monopolize the world's resources under the guise of a new world order.
With Abid Ullah Jan's incisive and sometimes surprising analysis, you can understand the hidden agenda and the powerful players behind today's news headlines. This book:
- Gives a detailed account of how we have never lived under a true democracy anywhere in the world.
- Explains how the unraveling of the democratic façade has exposed the origins of colonialism and its impending doom.
- Shows how the colonial totalitarians are resorting to wars in utter desperation to save and sustain the most effective and ruthless systems ever developed for global domination.
- Outlines the way the desperate measures of the defenders of de facto colonization are set to lead us into the third and probably final, cataclysmic world war.
- Compels its readers to think of the alternatives to the doomed capitalist-colonial order because despite its bringing the ultimate tragedy upon humanity the colonial order will not survive to rule the world again.
- Debunks the myths about Islamic Empire.
- Highlights the alternative to the oppressive colonization of the Muslim world.

This review is from: The Ultimate Tragedy: Colonialists Rushing to Global War to Save the Crumbling Empire (Paperback)

In a most enlightening expose of our so called democracy the authors open our eyes to the real agenda of the Capitalist-Colonialists ( Neocons)rulers of todays world. Operation 9/11, the War on Afganistan,the disasterous occupation of Iraq,escalating tension ( prelude to war)with Iran, Chaos in Gaza, Attack on Lebanon,Conflict in Somalia are all warning signs of a growing desparation in the Capitalist- Colonialists ranks to control vital resources.Included in the text is a history lesson in the ogigins of our western banking system and the organisations which control the world economy.With this knowledge it becomes easier to see why todays Capitalist-Colonialists fear Islam and its teachings.With the authors incisive and well referenced analysis,you can understand their agenda. We can but hope that the authors prediction of a 3rd. and possibly cataclysmic world war can be prevented.Perhaps if more people read this book it may help to prove them wrong.
