{"product_id":"2940148391708","title":"Islam Facts and Fiction And The Fight For Egypt","description":"This is the third book written by the author on the Egyptian Revolution. The other two books are: (1) “Chain Reaction: Egypt's Revolt 2011 Illustrated” and (2) “A Matter of FAITH: The Islamic Spring”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe three books comprise the views of an Egyptian immigrant to the United Stated, left Egypt in 1984 while Mubarak was in power, never returned home due to Mubarak’s pervasive corruption and destruction of Egypt. About ten million Egyptians face the same fate of the author of alienating the Nile Valley and never return. Many more millions of Egyptians could not flee from the grip of oppression and corruption of Mubarak, some drowned while attempting to arrive to the European shores.  The only exceptions were Mubarak’s two sons who were helped by their father to work abroad while their father squeezed the life out of 82 million remaining Egyptians. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo be fair, Egypt has taken the path of decay and destruction soon after the 1967’s war with Israel and as a result of Nasser’s hard-headed politics of spreading revolution, nationalism, and socialism in the Middle East.  Thus, Hosni Mubarak was stuck with the heavy burden of fixing failing state about which he lacked any experience in handling. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMubarak’s iron-grip on Egypt was not loosened by revolutionary resistance as it was by his aging, detachment from reality, and his wife’s delusion in inheriting Egypt to her son Gamal Mubarak. Gamal would have succeeded his father without much resistance had not saboteurs managed to instigate killings of civilians, which ignited tsunamis of anger and violence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author described both the defunct regime of Mubarak and the newly elected Islamist regime from the point of view of a layman affected by his country politics from afar. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, the author adopts the same approach of pacing together the pieces of the puzzle of the military coup of the reverse revolution against Morsi, the newly elected president, and the return of Mubarak’s old regime to power. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe entire book depends entirely on news fed to the author’s family connection in Egypt, open Internet sources, and daily news and interviews.  It is written in the heat of the moment and carried all emotions towards a wounded nation and people by one of them living thousands of miles away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIslam Facts and Fiction And The Fight For Egypt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 1 : Facts Favoring Islam\u003cbr\u003eFigurative Verses of Quran\u003cbr\u003eCreator and Creatures\u003cbr\u003eHeaven and Hell\u003cbr\u003eThe Vocalization of Quranic Verses\u003cbr\u003eInstitutionalized Corruption\u003cbr\u003eState-Controlled Education\u003cbr\u003eRewards and Punishment\u003cbr\u003eUnison in Nature\u003cbr\u003eThe Rituals of Orderly Living\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 2: Fiction in the Practice of Islam\u003cbr\u003eLiteral Mystification of Quranic Ideas\u003cbr\u003eCoptic Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003eAl-Azhar’s Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003eShia’s Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003eLaymen’s Skepticism of the Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003eWestern Mystification of the Divine\u003cbr\u003eImplicating Quranic Verses in Prophetic Predictions\u003cbr\u003eJews in Quran\u003cbr\u003eSecularism and Quran\u003cbr\u003eShia and Quran\u003cbr\u003ePuritanical Salafis and Quran\u003cbr\u003eWishful Faith\u003cbr\u003eImposing Demands on the Divine\u003cbr\u003eExpecting the Divine to Restore Welfare\u003cbr\u003eRejecting the Divine Altogether\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 3: Al-Azhar\u003cbr\u003eSheikh Muhammad Metwally Al Shaarawy\u003cbr\u003eSheikh Mahmoud Shaaban\u003cbr\u003eSheikh Ahmed Al- Tayyib\u003cbr\u003eSheikh Ali Goumaa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 4: Muslim Brotherhood\u003cbr\u003eClandestine Work\u003cbr\u003eIslamic Project\u003cbr\u003eWestern mindset\u003cbr\u003eStumbling Course\u003cbr\u003eFalling with Grace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 5: Divine Science\u003cbr\u003eDoer, Death, Deeds\u003cbr\u003eSpirit and Matter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 6: The Fight For Egypt\u003cbr\u003ePopulation Expansion versus Depletion of Resources\u003cbr\u003eResisting Americanization\u003cbr\u003eMaking A Tyrant\u003cbr\u003eMilitary Coup\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 7: Rabaa Al-Adawiya Massacres\u003cbr\u003eRabaa Al-Adawiya alive\u003cbr\u003eMassacre Begins\u003cbr\u003eShock and Disbelief\u003cbr\u003eBurning the mosque of Rabaa Al-Adawiya\u003cbr\u003eUnidentified dead bodies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 8: Islamic Jihad\u003cbr\u003eThe Duty of Jihad\u003cbr\u003eTit For Tat\u003cbr\u003eCairo’s Resistance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 9: Exiled Islamists\u003cbr\u003eSheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi\u003cbr\u003eSheikh Wagdi Ghoneim\u003cbr\u003eYoussef Moustafa Nada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER 10: Egyptian Copts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mohamed F.
