The New Threat From Islamic Militancy by Jason Burke, book review: Know your enemy

The New Threat From Islamic Militancy by Jason Burke, book review: Know your enemy

“We can be reasonably confident that the balance of power will swing away again from the extremists , as in previous cycles.” Like to post positive attitude towards our biggest topic on the news at the moment.
I made my point in a different angle this morning about contradictions but the message is the same, balance , ying and yang , good and bad, ups and downs.Positive and negative boring but true,. Without that, no energy, no life. no earth.

The new book Of Jason Burke gives us confidence as long as we know our enemy.

The New Threat From Islamic Militancy by Jason Burke, book review: Know your enemy
An authoritative survey of extremist groups gives a full picture of the global problem
While stressing that the vast majority of British Muslims abhor violence, Burke is clear that intolerant and extremist views have been gaining ground in Britain, as elsewhere, with the emergence in the last decade or so of a youth subculture dubbed “jihadi cool”, similar in some ways to gang culture. Burke insists there is no “silver bullet” to counter this. But by identifying so clearly the roots and current manifestations of global Islamic militancy, he provides a comprehensive and authoritative picture of the threat it poses. In the struggle to maintain the diversity, tolerance and debate of Western society, he says, knowing your enemy represents an important victory.

The beautiful Contradictions of life

The beautiful Contradictions of life

The start of A sweet lazy sunday looking out of my windows seeing the sun , thinking it will be another day of 20 degrees or more , like yesterday or the day before..Stepped outside ,.cold!! Put on the fire place , lit the candles, staying in no way I am having a picknick on the beach! My brains were brainwashed or better said pavloved ( patterns stop us from thinking carefully) ,sun so yes it will be warm , no cold. This got me thinking about all the other contradictions I’ve recently, or longer no I didn’t just wake up, observed in life. The more I think about it, the more I recognize a subtle pattern of truth. Our lives are filled with contradiction. From our goals and aspirations to our moral values and beliefs, contradiction is everywhere.From being a working mother always in a stretch if I am doing it right. Today more attention to work, or to the kids. But what if,.Yesterday we had the biggest wind , today there is not a sound of noise!
I love these pictures they are full of contradictions , Nature and city, day and night , uniform and colourful fashion , hot and cold.Light and darkness. Negative and positive ..balance life. Happy Sunday XXXXXme
