About the Book

Terrorism has become an international threat as radical Islamic groups clinging on to misguided teaching of one of the most peaceful religions try to create rifts among mankind. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the center of today’s political turmoil. It allows radical Islamists to recruit young men into their organizations. The West, in return, falls into their trap by waging wars and using a flagrant double standard in its relationship with Israel.

This book explores the many mistakes both sides make by following strict policies and forgetting the needs of humanity to coexist. It starts out by dispelling some myths that are propagated today that simply are not true. It proves that the Palestinian question is not a religious, but a land issue. It offers solutions to the present Middle East conflict. It concludes with a poetic journey into the future. It is a personal outcry to end the conflict.

By living on both sides of the globe, I believe I understand the beliefs of most Palestinians and Arabs in the region. I am responding to the calls of many in the West asking for Palestinians and Arabs to speak up and denounce terrorism in all its shapes and forms. I wholeheartedly feel the majority of Arabs want a lasting and comprehensive peace based on trust and mutual respect. It is time that the humiliation and iron clad fist of occupation end, so that those who seek to destroy the common bonds of humanity can drift away into forgetfulness.
