This book is about an actual journey into the heart of the Islamic world, Saudi Arabia. It tells of the discoveries and revelations about the history of the Middle East, Islam, and Muslims. The book’s main proposition is connecting the dots between the early Islamic State at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and modern-day terrorism and radicalism.The author presents new findings about the true history of Islam. The findings are about the theology of Islam, the language of the Quran, the history of radical Islam, the influence of Salafism and Wahabism on political Islam, and the social life of Muslims. The book presents an unprecedented analysis of the Quran and an empirical study of the psychological effect of the language of the Quran; there is also a historical and a sociological approach to understand Islam that has never been attempted before. In addition, the book exposes the goals and plans of terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Taliban, ISIS, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and the Muslim Brotherhood and their followers who want to take over the world, enforce Islamic Sharia law, and destroy human civilization. The book also explores the beauty of literature and how it can defeat Islamic radicalism, and how literature can be used to change the rigid mindset of some radicals. In addition, the book shows how peaceful Muslims become victims to those extremists and terrorists. It is hoped that radical Muslims would show little humbleness and some humility after they know what their religion is about and learn the truth of the Quran. This book is a rational analysis of the past and the present of the Middle East and Islam, the authenticity of the Quran, the life of Muslims under Sharia law, and the control of the clergy over the lives of Muslims, but it warns of the lurking danger of radical Islam that might jeopardize human civilization if it is not stopped immediately.
