Baker provides a unique insider perspective on factors affecting British Muslim converts and their susceptibility to violent radicalisation, including firsthand accounts of convicted terrorists Richard Reid (the 'Shoe Bomber'), Zacarius Moussaoui (the 20th 9/11 bomber), and Abdullah el-Faisal who is alleged to have been a radicalising influence.

This unique work analyzes for the first time how foreign-affinity terrorism works in a major democratic nation like the United States, and what this country must do to survive the terror challenge, on both conventional and unconventional levels. To date, no definitive study has dealt specifically with the role of American citizens in supporting a foreign political, ideological, and religious illegal agenda. Terrorists in Our Midst: Combating Foreign-Affinity Terrorism in America remedies that as six expert authors discuss the threats of Americans to security interests in the United States and elsewhere, exploring what can and should be done to reduce a risk that may threaten the very survival of the free world. Terrorists in Our Midst focuses not only on foreign nationals operating in the United States, but also on American citizens participating in terror networks at home and abroad. The book presents an overview of both conventional and unconventional terrorism, surveys the terrorist threat in the United States by state and nonstate actors, and analyzes the foreign-affinity links of American operatives in this country and abroad. Most important for the safety and security of the United States, it offers an assessment of what policies worked and what did not work, specifying a "best practices" agenda of recommendations that should be adopted by the United States and the international community.

Principles of Asymmetrical Warfare: How to Beat Islamo-fascists at Their Own Game provides principles, strategies, tactics, and methods available to the Administration in winning and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the War on Terrorism. Some strategies and tactics appear extreme to a civilized country as the United States. However, we should know about and understand these strategies and tactics in case we must use them because the Isfasts are about to annihilate, conquer, or place us in bondage. I have quoted ideas from Sun Tzu, Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., and Dr. Michael Savage, a man of great intellect. Our Administration has made a major mistake by not learning from great warriors like Sun Tzu and Gen. Patton. Our Administration makes an even larger mistake by ignoring Michael Savage's thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. Many ideas are common sense, which seems to be lacking in our politicians, Administration, and military generals. Apparently, they do not know how to fight and win an asymmetrical war. "Principles of Asymmetrical Warfare" provides fresh ideas on fighting the Isfasts and winning. Therefore, if you desire to know how to beat the Isfasts at their own game, read Principles of Asymmetrical Warfare.

According to the savvy African Scientist by the name of Cheikh Anta Diop, the true cause of Socrates' death was the fact that he brought and introduced new ideas (from a foreign country) to the society in which he was living.(conference in LOME, Africa). Another wise African Scientist who was at the time living in France, once said: "Opening myself to others, Paris has opened me to the true knowledge of myself." Leopold Sedar Senghor. (from a book read in the secondary school, in the DR Congo, 1976-79). In this book, SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN THE MIDST OF CHALLENGES: a positive answer to a destructive disposition, the author is trying to explain that each society creates its barriers. With its cultures and beliefs, societies have developed Barriers; such as: - unableling someone financially by refusing to hire her/him for the work he /she qualified for; or which she/he deserves and systematically putting him/her down; - assassinating one's character by labeling him /her as a mental health sufferer because of his/her courage of not being afraid to speak the truth and to bring it forward to the public; - preventing him/her to generate good income in order to live a decent and prosper life; - Breaking his /her spirit by refusing his /her work and therefore, destroying all her/his credibility and efforts to evolve; Those barriers are implemented to allow or to limit certain people from becoming successful in a given society. These calculated bad intentions are put in place and carried on to make someone become sick or just to harm. What the author is really trying to say is that when a person lacks supports ( i.e, financial, emotional, and social), he or she is already dead. This attitude proceed from the society that does not promote gifts, talents and abilities of someone prominent and promising because of the color of his/her skin, the origin, the religion or the difference in reasoning. Isn't true that anything that waste potential or potentiality is Evil? If it is so, we must discern and recognize that from Evil comes racism; racism engenders injustice, injustice produces poverty and prolong poverty leads to death. All one can do is to denounce because denouncing injustice is always already fighting against the injustice.

Flight lessons and military training weren't needed this time as twenty-five suburban movie theaters scattered throughout the Eastern United States mysteriously exploded in an apparent synchronized attack, killing hundreds of Americans.While the world struggles to understand how the United States with all of its technological superiority could again fall prey to domestic terror. Federal investigator, Jack Neil, of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force uncovers a link to a dead drug addict and wonders what it could mean. Kevin MacAfee knows; he is a recently released convict and unsuspecting pawn in the mass murder perpetrated by a group calling themselves UMYA, the United Muslim Youth Association, led by Mustapha Aziz the son of a high ranking Jordanian diplomat, and brother to Najla Aziz, Kevin MacAfee's beautiful, but naive girlfriend. It was Kevin MacAfee who revealed the discontentment among America's neglected and underprivileged citizenry, showing Najla and Mustapha first-hand how homeless, inner-city, drug-addicted vagabonds willingly sell their prized U.S. credentials often for as little as ten dollars. A seemingly insignificant action until Mustapha Aziz devises a clandestine plan enabling fifty of his UMYA operatives to anonymously sow terror on U.S. soil using the purchased identities. The movie theater bombings were just the prelude in the fall of the Great Satan as twenty-five teams comprised of two members each spread out along the east coast as part of phase two of UMYA's diabolical plan to simultaneously bomb twenty-five major hotels in twenty-five major eastern U.S. cities. Only two people in the World know the secret identities of the operatives; Kevin MacAfee is one of them. Agent Jack Neil of the JTTF wishes he was the other, and is frantically racing against time and hope itself to find and apprehend Mr. MacAfee in his effort to prevent the death of thousands of unsuspecting American citizens. UMYA's minions are searching for MacAfee too. He is the weak link that could undermine their bid to exploit America's newfound vulnerability in their quest to expose the myth that is American power.
