Epstein, Iran and the Politics of Distraction: Inside Operation Epic Fury

It is not a coincidence that America and israel have decided to bomb Iran at this moment. Operation “Epic Fury” is designed to distract us from the Epstein files, because in truth our “epic fury” should be targeted at the men at the centre of that scandal. In fact, Epstein was trained as a spy by Ehud Barak the former israeli Prime Minister and defence minister for Mossad, and no country in the world, other than israel gains anything from starting a war with Iran. Epic Stupidity would be a more appropriate name.

Orientalism by Edward W. Said – book review

The author reflects on their revisiting of Edward Said’s “Orientalism” and its implications on the perception of the East by Western scholars. They discuss the biased narratives in literature, art, and political discourse over centuries, particularly highlighting ongoing Islamophobia.

The Road To Mecca by Muhammad Asad

Asad shares his adventures in a nonlinear narrative. The book starts in the desert of Arabia, with him and his companion Zayd, at the end of their mission, and heading back to Mecca. It is composed of 12 chapters and Asad’s writing is without exception stunning. From his descriptions of the landscape of the desert to Bedouin tribes and people to his explanations and understandings of politics and the human condition, he writes with beauty. There is an effortlessness in the flow of the narrative that makes the time the reader spends with this book similar to the description of time in the desert, you lose yourself entirely within it.
