1.0 out of 5 stars Misses most important things - strange evasive mixed race book, January 18, 2012
By 
Rerevisionist (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Word and the Bomb (Paperback)
I thought, from the title, this might be something to do with nuclear issues and the third world. Selling as a remainder; I don't remember hearing about the author. This turned out to be nine short essays or British 'Guardian' newspaper articles - this is funded privately, basically Jewish-controlled garbage, which has a monopoly on BBC job adverts for no reason ever publically explained. The latest date was 2005 - I hadn't realised this was, by remaindered books standards, a greybeard.

Some of these essays were published with screenplay related material - he wrote or was credited with 'My Beautiful Laundrette' (not launderette) and 'My Son the Fanatic', apparently a 1997 film. Kureishi says films have no place for meandering subtleties - they're like short stories.

Piecing together a few clues, we find he was the son of a Muslim and a white woman, brought up in Kent. At some point he must have moved to London - there's stuff on sex, women - presumably white - drugs; and on Yorkshire. And Islam. Every single thing, without exception, is what would be approved by the Jewish/ fake left/ anti-white racists of the Guardian/ BBC type. This may sound odd, or extreme, but is entirely true.

Let's look at omissions: there's nothing on what his mother was doing; why would any sane woman marry into a ridiculous cult? My wording, but it's a legitimate question. There's nothing on the partition of India - one might imagine a few million deaths might have been worth a passing comment. There's nothing on the segregation of women - forced into backrooms as breeding material. There's nothing on benefits - free housing, money, thanks to the Jews controlling the so-called 'Labour' Party - but not forgetting the 'Conservatives'. We have no mention whatever of the actual contents of the Koran, unsurprisingly, of course. There's nothing on 'grooming' and paedophilia. Or voting fraud. Interestingly, there's no comment on 9/11. Does Kureishi know the truth?

We leave the book in a weird limbo: Pakistan (military coups unmentioned, vast populations living after independence in muck not mentioned), Islamic schools in England, probably a device to get semi-illiterate girls as breeders...

I don't know if there's an equivalent word for 'Uncle Tom' Muslim types, but this material is a perfect example. It's daring Mills and Boon for people waiting for the real world.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why Bomb?, April 23, 2006

This review is from: The Word and the Bomb (Paperback)
Why Bomb? Why Moslem?
This will irritate them. only few of them who did that. and millions of others are peaceful. Kureishi's works are sensational. But his works miss point of moderate Moslem (cf. dewi candraningrum soekirno's review).

As a Moslem, why Hanif do not explore the beautiful side of Islam as a religion. I really want to read it.
