I'm Learning About Eid-ul-Fitr Eid, which means "happiness" is the most joyous festival of the Muslim Calendar. Eid-ul-Fitr is the first day after the month-long fasting of Ramadan. Muslims throughout the world prepare for this day. They give food and money to the poor. They clean their homes, wear their best clothes and prepare special sweets for the family and friends. They also attend special eid prayers in the mosque or in an open area. This little book on Eid-ul-Fitr tells the story of two young children living in London - how they celebrate their Eid by visiting the mosque, meeting their friends, eating delicious food, and enjoying carnival rides. And how their parents explain to them the true meaning of Eid-ul-Fitr. by Saniyasnain Khan 24 pgs Paperback Illustrated $4.95

Shattered Illusions - Analyzing The War On Terrorism No 'terrorist' gene is either known or likely to exist. What then drives people to maim, kill and destroy? What drives them to such desperation and rage that they would kill themselves and others? Tragically, CNN and the U.S. media have so far made little attempt to understand this state of mind. They seem afraid to understand the roots of terrorism lest they arrive at the obvious: the cruelty of the powerful begets hopelessness, and hopelessness leads to desperation that ultimately ends in violence and death. Shattered Illusions is unashamedly a voice of dissent which brings together in one comprehensive volume, essays from intellectuals, human right activists, lawyers, journalists, and academics whose insights and perspectives provide both an intellectual and humane criticism of the Bush administration's current war policy. It not only challenges the framing of the war as a struggle between good and evil, but also critically assesses President George W. Bush's explanation for anti-U.S. sentiments. Shattered Illusions examines U.S. policies and actions in the Middle East, a focus of its "war on terror." But is "terrorism" what really lies at the heart of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, as the Sharon government contends? And what is driving the U.S. toward war with Iraq? Shattered Illusions explores the histories and implications of these conflicts for the United States and the peoples of the region.

What Everyone Need to Know About Islam What Everyone Needs To Know About Islam, Esposito presents in question-and-answer format the information about Islam that people most want to know. Esposito provides succint, accessible, sensitive, and even-handed answers to questions that range from the general -- "What do Muslims believe?" "What role does Muhammad play in Muslim life?" "What is the Muslim scripture?" -- to more specific issues like "Why do Muslim women wear veils and long garments?" "Why was Salman Rushdie condemned to death?" "Why do Muslim men wear beards?" and "Why are Muslims reluctant to shake hands?" The questions are grouped according to major topics such as Faith & Practice, Islam & Other Religions, Customs & Culture, and Muslims in the West. A special section is devoted to terrorism and violence, addressing such questions "What is jihad?" and "Why do Muslims hate us?" This brief and readable book is the first place to look for information on the faith, customs, and political beliefs of the one billion people who call themselves Muslims. by John L.
