Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Amazon Book Description - War Against G-d: How Radical Islamism Betrays Faith They call it faith. It is a theft.For decades, the West has misread radical Islamism as an eruption of anger - a reaction to poverty, occupation, or wounded pride. This book argues that explanation is not just incomplete. It is dangerous. It mistakes design for accident, and ideology for grievance.Drawing on first-hand experience inside the ideological orbit of the Islamic Republic of Iran - including direct contact with regime officials and figures within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps - Catherine Perez-Shakdam exposes how radical Islamist movements do not defend religion. They commandeer it. They seize the language of revelation, the institutions of belief, and the loyalties of the faithful, and bend them toward political domination, sectarian hatred, and organized violence.This is not a book about Islam. It is a book about its capture.Tracing the modern Islamist project from Hassan al-Banna's Muslim Brotherhood, through Sayyid Qutb's theology of rupture, to Khomeini's revolutionary state and the proxy armies it spawned - Hezbollah, Hamas, al-Qaeda, ISIS - this book shows how a consistent method repeats itself: infiltrate institutions, weaponize ritual, and convert grievance into permanent, sanctified war.Inside, you'll discover: - How antizionism functions within Islamist ideology not as ordinary politics, but as sacred hatred - and how it travels from Tehran's clerical establishment into Western streets and university campuses- The mechanisms of religious co-option: how sermons, schools, charities, and commemorations are turned into instruments of ideological control- The human cost borne first - and most severely - by women, children, and dissenting Muslims who refuse enlistment in the cause- Why the true "war against G-d" is not fought with rifles, but with the theft of conscience itself- A clear-eyed path toward reclaiming faith from those who would hold it hostage - without surrendering to fear, and without confusing the believer with the ideologueUncompromising, deeply sourced, and written from direct exposure to the machinery it describes, War Against G-drefuses the comfortable fictions that have allowed radicalization to entrench itself under the cover of civic legitimacy. It insists on naming what too many have preferred to call "community tension" or "activism" for what it actually is.This book does not ask you to choose between religions, or between East and West. It asks a harder question: what happens when the sacred is stolen, and who has the courage to say so?For readers of geopolitics, religious studies, counter-extremism, and anyone unwilling to accept easy answers about one of the defining conflicts of our age.
