Islam for the Politically Incorrect

Islam for the Politically Incorrect

Gilgamesh Books — Islam for the Politically Incorrect by Khaled Diab This highly readable and necessarily controversial book tackles all the hot topics relating to Islam uncompromisingly and head on. Whether it is the status of Muslim women, Islamic terrorism, democracy and Islam, or even the clash of civilisations, this book's thematic chapters take you on an in-depth tour of Islam - its people, politics, history, culture, philosophy and mind-spinning diversity.Written by an atheist Arab of Muslim upbringing, this book is politically incorrect in its purest sense. It seeks to reveal the truth about Islam unencumbered by anti- or pro-Islamic dogma, partisan interests or the growing "us" and "them" dichotomy.

Jerusalem: Heuchelei um das Heilige Land

Jerusalem: Heuchelei um das Heilige Land

Die Zeit — Donald Trump hat in diesen Tagen mal wieder sein unvergleichliches Talent gezeigt, sich Feinde zu machen und Menschen gegen sich aufzubringen. Seine Entscheidung, Jerusalem als Hauptstadt Israels anzuerkennen und die US-Botschaft dorthin zu verlegen, ändert nichts an den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten vor Ort. Sie verdeutlicht nur einmal mehr, dass Washington nie ein neutraler Vermittler in Nahost war.

Islam for Donald Trump and the politically incorrect

The Chronikler — Mr Trump, if you really want to know "what the hell is going on" with Islam, I invite you and all the other bigots out there to join me on a mind-expanding journey through Islam(s), passing through the main thoroughfares and back alleys of history, society, culture, politics, theology and, above all, people.

A US embassy in Jerusalem changes nothing and everything

The Chronikler — Donald Trump's announcement on Jerusalem changes nothing on the ground but everything on the horizon. It is the final death certificate of the peace process. Now it's time for something completely different.

Rewriting the Migration Narrative, The Cultural Frontline - BBC World Service

BBC — How poet Rupi Kaur, playwright Quiara Alegria Hudes, novelist Peter Kimani and writer Khaled Diab are all re-writing the story of migration, from India to Kenya. Canadian poet Rupi Kaur tells The Cultural Frontline’s Datshiane Navanayagam how her family’s history of migration from India informed her latest poetry collection, The Sun and Her Flowers. Reporter Will Coley goes backstage in New York at the road trip musical Miss You Like Hell to meet its Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Quiara Alegria Hudes. Tina meets writer and poet Peter Kimani and hears how his novel, Dance of the Jakaranda, draws a thread between the dawn of Kenyan independence and its colonial past, to better understand Kenya's present. Plus, writer Khaled Diab on 'baladi': an Arabic word that, in Egypt at least, shows how even the most local of customs can travel.

Waarom Palestijnen en Israëli's blijven kiezen voor geweld

Waarom Palestijnen en Israëli's blijven kiezen voor geweld

DeMorgen — Dit roept de vraag op waarom geweld een onweerstaanbare aantrekkingskracht lijkt uit te oefenen op beide partijen, zodat er een oorlogssituatie dreigt te ontstaan, terwijl het toch duidelijk is dat dit bloedvergieten niemand verder helpt. Volgens mij komt dat omdat geweld in zekere zin de weg van de minste weerstand is.

Holy Land, Forgotten People

Holy Land, Forgotten People

The Daily Beast — The drive for Israeli-Palestinian peace overlooks the most vital component―the people themselves. That is why Egyptian-Belgian author Khaled Diab, currently living with his family in Jerusalem, is writing a book about these most intimate of enemies and could-be friends. Although the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has become overshadowed by the tumultuous upheavals gripping the Middle East, the U.S.
