Terrorism, Justice and Tolerance: A Study of Islam, Muslims, and the West  | | ISBN - 978-1-86335-870-5
105 pgs | Cameron Iqbal Since the 9/11 attacks the world has been led to believe that Muslims, encouraged by their religion, Islam, play a major part in terrorist acts around the world. It is alleged by numerous Western scholars that Islam creates a premise that allows Muslims to terrorise non-believers. This book provides knowledge and understanding by examining terrorism in Islam and the Quran. It examines how certain Muslims advocate and express their own fanatical version of Islam and believe that to kill oneself and other innocent individuals through suicide is justified in Islam. Neither of these positions are actually supported by Islam or the Quran, but are upheld by certain misled Muslims whose positions and practices have led to the downfall of the integrity and credibility of Muslims as followers of Islam amongst the international community.
Cameron Iqbal is a PhD candidate in the area of Islam, Society, Fair Trial and Terrorism. He has completed various degrees. He is a solicitor with interests in Criminal Law, Civil Litigation, Islamic Law and Human Rights.

An Actor/Preacher Prepares: Billy Graham Performs the New Revivalism  | | ISBN - 978-1-86335-982-5,
157 pgs | Kurt Edwards Taking a cue from Constantin Stanislavski’s An Actor Prepares, this book, An Actor/ Preacher prepares , reintroduces a familiar figure of recent history and elucidates the social and performative transitions essential to Billy Graham’s journey to cast himself as an appropriate evangelist. Starting before the Los Angeles crusade of 1949 to his reaction following the Academy Awards when the movie version of Elmer Gantry won three statues (1961), this book sheds critical light on the way Graham created a new revivalism based on his new performance paradigm.
Kurt Edwards is assistant professor of communication and Performance Studies at East Central University.

Integrationalism: Essays Exploiting Spiritual Disincentives for Humanity
 | | ISBN - 978-1-61229-028-7
71 pgs | James Felton Keith Integrationalism is a thought framework built on the notion that all things in existence are physiologically interconnected in the sub-atomic domain as it is understood in string theory. These collections of essays exploiting spiritual disincentives for humanity make necessary linkages between individualism and spirituality(ism). Integrationalism identifies classical individualistic understandings and virtues as the root cause of human-kind’s most daunting PEST (political, economic, sociological, and technological) problems. This text establishes that spirituality (and all of its subordinate ideologies) endorses individualism; compelling an end of separation, rendering it impossible to implement the kinds of pervasive harmonies that spiritual rhetoric holds in modernity. Through an economic analysis of decision incentives, this text explores historic philosophy on the subject of spirituality and individualism; as well as, modern social sentiment/problems/solution sets.
James Felton Keith is an author, economics analyst, engineer, and futurist. Keith is currently visiting faculty at the Michigan State University. | | Order Your Copy Today!
