With the help of modern technologies, a new, all-encompassing and all-controlling superorganism is created that fulfills the promise of Satan, which he gave man at the beginning of time: Apotheosis – becoming like God! The misled, globalized people who are made believe, they lived in the best and most progressive epoch of human history, are increasingly enslaved by a diabolic political and economic system, and by a certain perception of reality. While the creation is dying and the world at the brink of Armageddon, the individual has only one chance: Surrender to God!

In the light of A Blessed Tree presents an absolutely original, experientially textured introduction to Islamic belief, practice, and history for both the intrigued newcomer as well as for those who already possess some basic literacy in Islam. Slowly crafted over the years following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, this modest book speaks with scholarly integrity but in an everyday voice, full of real-life narratives that "illuminate" the beliefs, practices, and histories described. More, it brings the reader in touch with the psychological, social, and cultural forces that shape the way we come to the question of Islam in a wounded world, still grappling with the trauma of 9/11 and very much still in a state of war. For these and other reasons, In the Light of a Blessed Tree speaks to contemporary images and realities, even as it walks through the ancient origins of Islam.

'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' is an inspired sharing at the appointed time. It shares for the First Time in the History of Pen-Paper-Pencil Epistemology those Manifest Truths which are being concealed historically from mankind in general. Due to concealment of Manifest Truth and Projection of Manmade Falsehoods within the domain of Epistemology by the International Criminals as well as their Agencies & Institutions, we [almost all save International Criminals] are far from clear concepts [Self-evident Truths] of Upright Rectangular Universe, Manifested Hexagonal World within Non-luminous Moon of the East Horizon, Appearing Pentagonal Earth, Sirius Binary System [Trinity], Three Ascending Stair Ways, Four Cardinal Directions in resemblance with Four Basic Forces & in correspondence with Crucified Sign, Equal & Opposite Manifested Sign of Sole Magnetism [Two Clear Proofs] from North to South & South to North, Equal & Opposite Moons [Uranus & Neptune] of the Equal & Opposite Zones, Right Direction of performing Salat [Namaz] facing each other towards Upright West [Arsh], appointed day of observing Idd uniformly, Upright West Region of the Appointed Kaba, Straight Middle-East Region of Bermuda Triangle, existential imports of Nine Tokens given to Muusaa (ass) i.e. projected nine planets, and the like. It is self-evident that we know nothing after having known much due to Projected Epistemology. Consequently, we are living under Man-made Nature and are fighting to liberate animals from Manifested Nature. Each searched out Manifest Truth shared in the Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata will appear either contrary or contradictory to uncountable pen-paper-pencil works and mechanical activities prevailing in the History of Projected Epistemology. Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata published by Partridge Publishing, 2016, is the first pen-paper-pencil work [self-published book] in the History of Epistemology which not only explores with experimentum crusis and crucial instances the Trinity of Manifest Hypocrisy Teleological Evidence Sorcery Extreme Epistemic Persecution, 6310 Conspiracy Commentaries of the researchers of IFTA on Quran in resemblance with Introduced Manmade Magnetism & Invented Circular Rotation & Revolution System of NASA, Nexus of Self-evident Plagiarisms prevailing in the so-called research works etc. but also shares Manifest Truth [Injiil in correspondence with Tawraat] with reference to verifiable truth of facts [Real Science] and justifiable necessary truth [True Philosophy]. As 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' shares Irreversible Manifest Truth searched out on the basis of Four Revealed & Established Criiterions [Units / Scales] of Truth in resemblance with Universal Major Premises [Coded Shared Tautologies], so, it is beyond scepticism. Sceptics of Irreversible Manifest Truth are instructed to commit Suicide. Projected impact factors, API Points, pentagonal star marks, citations, criticisms, critical remarks, critical reviews, commentaries, Peter Singers concept of liberation, John Rawls Veil of Ignorance, John Lockes Tabula Rasa, Copernican Universal Mal-observation, Keplers Elliptical Axis, Astronomy, Mysticism, Spiritualism, Sufism, Rucksack of According to etc. have no existential imports with respect to searched out Irreversible Manifest Truth shared in the Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata. On the contrary, Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata has proclaimed Greatest War or Jihade-Akbar against International Criminals who have concealed Manifest Truth from the domain of education and have projected Manmade Falsehoods as Manifest Truth within the domain of Education in the name of Scientific Certainty. So, Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata rightly deserves verification, justification, recognition, and confirmation of the searched out Manifest Truth [Injiil in correspondence with Tawraat] for the Sanctity of Education, Utilitarian Liberation, Survival of the Truest. If the possessors of Balanced Good Sense are able to point out lacunae in the Logical Thread of the searched out Manifest Truth with reference to criterions of truth and in resemblance with at least one Universal Major Premise [Coded Shared Tautology], the sharer of 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' will try to research Manifest Truth from that pointed lacunae. In this regard, the sharer of 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' places 'Justifiable Appeal' before all to reject or to recognize the searched out Manifest Truth shared in his book for the First Time in the History of pen-paper-pencil Epistemology. Further, going through Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata, each possessor of Balanced Good Sense will be able to recognise International Criminals as well as their Equal & Opposite games with Faith & Belief of Mankind in general and particularly with the equal & opposite Right Path towards Upright West & appointed Day of observing Idd uniformly. It is certain like Cogito Ergo Sum of Rene Descartes that the Day when the capability of the possessors of Balanced Good Sense to Approach Justness will manifest openly and publicly, that Day Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata will get triumph over projected falsehoods. Expecting Justness from the Respective Authorities, Honourable Chairs, Epistemic Persons, Educated People, Possessors of Balanced Good Sense, and Mankind in general with searched out Manifest Truth and Solidified Solid Human Rights shared in the Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata, Jamir Ahmed Choudhury Sharer of 'Kitaaba Wal-Hikmata' or 'Manifested Nature and the Utility of One's Upright Logic' Published by Partridge Publishing, 5th August, 2016 ISBN (13) - 9781482875034 / ISBN (13) - 9781482875027 ISBN (10) - 1482875039 / ISBN (10) - 1482875020 ASIN - B01LFG1B82 / EAN - 9781482875034 OCLC - 956692563

This Mediterranean travel memoir offers “an engaging mix of history, food travelogue, and botany lesson . . . There is much to enjoy here” (Library Journal). Inspired by her Syrian forebears’ intimate relationship with the olive, Julie Angus embarks on a voyage around the Mediterranean to unlock the secrets of the fruit that meant so much to them. Accompanied by her husband and their ten-month-old son, Angus collects samples from ancient trees to determine where the first olive tree originated; feasts on inky black tapenades and codfish drizzled with olive oil, among many other delights; witnesses the harvesting of olives in Greece; and visits perhaps the oldest olive tree in the world, on Crete. The result is a fascinating history and biography of this most influential and irresistible fruit. “It is a pleasure to try to keep up with this book; like its author, it covers an enormous amount of territory.” —Christopher Bakken, Wall Street Journal

The two volumes of Anti-natural Framework & Its Consequences represent the ‘self-surrender’ of an Akbari-Jihadist before the concerned authorities of the entire world. The concerned authorities are pragmatically requested to provide the Akbari-Jihadist the capital punishment or the death sentence, at an appointed time at a particular place on earth. The book attempts to make a connection between universally accepted scientific principles and their Islamic counterparts. A few examples of the same are: Two Zones [Eastern Daylight Time Zone and Western Daylight Time Zone or Mashriq and Magrib]; Periodic Motion of the commonly perceivable White Moon of the West Zone and Periodic Motion of the commonly perceivable White Moon of the East Zone [Newton’s Visual Binaries or Two-fold Mercy or Equal & Opposite Uranus or Equal & Opposite Muzzammil or Twain]; and much more.

The key wager of Traversing the Heart - Journeys of the Inter-religious Imagination is that a spiritual imaginary operating at the level of metaphor, narrative, symbol and epiphany can traverse the borders of dogma and ideology and open genuine conversations between wisdom traditions. Like every hermeneutics of the heart, this journey begins to unfold in a concrete space and time: the interreligious conference at Bangalore in June 2007. While this collection does not claim to cover the religious traditions of all continents, its concluding essay on transculturation in Andean-Christian art highlights the importance of the North-South dialogue as a necessary supplement to the East-West one largely addressed in the book. As a call to future journeys and dialogue, this volume aims to communicate the one seminal lesson learned during the India conference: that in our third millennium, religions will be inter-religious or they will not be at peace.

The book by Magdalena Lubanska examines the role of religious syncretism in the social and religious life of Muslim-Christian communities in the Western Rhodopes. The author is interested mainly in the origins and motivations of various beliefs and behaviors which at first sight may appear to be syncretic. She looks at syncretism in the context of anti-syncretic tendencies, particularly pronounced among the Muslim neophytes and young members of the Muslim religious elite, who are not interested in the local forms of post-ottoman Islam (“Adat Islam”), preferring instead a “pure” form of religion, a class of fundamentalist religious movements rooted in orthodox Islam and seeking to remain faithful to mainstream Islamic thought and tradition (“Salafi Islam”). Lubanska findings offer an insight into the fact that although certain actions may appear syncretic in nature, their underlying intentions are often not in fact motivated by syncretic tendencies. This is the first study to look at syncretism in Bulgaria from this perspective.
