ISBN: 9780802094971 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Three stereotypical figures have come to represent the 'war on terror' - the 'dangerous' Muslim man, the 'imperilled' Muslim woman, and the 'civilized' European.

Everyday Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam Among Palestinians in Lebanon
ISBN: 9780674030664 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781845110635 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is vital to examine the relationship between religious and revolutionary ideologies and the revolutionary potentials of Islamic teachings. In a penetrating new study, Najibullha Lafraie examines how revolutionary ideologies function, and applies...

The influx of Muslim immigrants into Europe is rooted in the common human aspiration for a better life. But to date there is no European consensus about how to deal...
