Book excerpt: This is a third publication in the Ansari Memorial Series, published in honor of my teacher and Shaikh of blessed memory, Maulana Dr. Muhammad Fadlur Rahman Ansari (1914 - 1974). The previous two publications were entitled: 'The Religion of Abraham and the State of Israel - A View from the Qur'an', and 'The Importance of the Prohibition of Riba in Islam'. Much of the research work for this book was done during the years 1975-1979 at the United Nations Library in the Palais des Nations, Geneva, while I was a doctoral student in International Relations at the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva. We are experiencing, at the time of writing a rapidly deteriorating situation in today's Muslim World with bloody conflicts inflicting unimaginable suffering on innocent Muslims in Bosnia, Kashmir, Algeria, Palestine, Chechnya etc. Yesterday it was fifty thousand Muslim women raped in Bosnia, and today's horror stories are about a son who was forced to bite off his Muslim father's testicles in Bosnia, and the innocent blind Muslim Shaikh, Omar Abdul Rahman, who was condemned to life imprisonment in USA (because he posed too great a threat to the pro-west secular regime which rules Egypt), and who is sexually humiliated by prison guards whenever he has a visitor at prison. I am now convinced that the time has at last come for this work to reach the Muslim public who may now be sufficiently shaken up to look seriously for the causes of our impotence. They may, as a consequence, take this work seriously and brush off the expected protests from establishment scholars, and the governments that they support, around the Muslim world!
