Extremism قصص

A young teenage girl, haunted by the memories of her father's execution, attempts to escape a cruel regime by night. A solitary woman, abandoned by her husband, inadvertently plays into the cruel hands of 'the state'. In another totalitarian regime a traffic light fixer is dealt with brutally for admiring a sunset. All these characters capture the essence of what it's like to be disempowered and cruelly dehumanised at the hands of a heinous, corrupt power. This sharp collection of pertinent short stories throws an at times uncomfortable light on cruelty, injustice and persecution that is all too relevant today. But ultimately these stories celebrate the strength and determination to survive at all costs, that exists within all of us.

Prompt: Father Todd No one knew. No one could ever know. People confess to priests all the time. But who can a priest trust with his own secrets? Trigger warnings for mentions of murder, non-graphic descriptions of wounds, mentions of s&M (no actual S&M, one of them just asks a question), and zealous religious themes. Maybe other stuff I can't think of, I don't know.

I've just watched One Love Manchester - a concert facilitating the strength and courage in unity and togetherness, the very opposite of what the Manchester bomber and culprits behind it wanted to achieve on 22nd May 2017. I wrote this poem about the magic of live music a few years ago but it resonated with me after watching the gig, the true resilience of humanity and the ability of humans to bounce back in style and look out for one another.

December Third explores both extremes of how people view inexplicable happenings: either blindly assuming the divine or staunchly grasping for answers based in fact. For those who look to the latter, the answer is clear. But for those who believe in miracles, how far will they go to prove their faith? These are the themes at the core of David Tal's debut novel, December Third. A dramatic thriller set in the near future and takes place in locations across the globe, December Third mixes the archetypal spiritual quest for purpose in life with Tom Clancy level intrigue.

This short research paper was prompted based on the question Is the United States Winning the War on Terror? This paper explains the deep theological battle America is faced with fighting, and how the United States must change its objectives in the fight on terror.

This book was written right after the 9/11 attacks that were staged in the two big cities of the United States of America in 2001 and it was explained with verses from the Qur'an, the practices of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) and examples from Islamic history that Islam denounces terrorism. However, terrorist attacks continued after 9/11, and spread to other countries including Great Britain, Spain, Turkey and France. This prompted politicians, academicians, religious leaders and writers, in other words, all conscientious people all around the world, to look for solutions to terrorism, to understand its causes and to work out the steps that should be taken. When this book was first written in 2002, we explained with evidence that terrorists, and most importantly their leaders, are selfish, cruel and merciless people who, as a result of Darwinist and materialist education they received, see life as a constant struggle where only the fittest survive. Such people came to believe that violence and wars were justified means to their ends. Al Qaeda was very active at that time. Especially in recent years, many new terrorist organisations have emerged and they have used similar Islamic symbolism in their attacks against civilians. This deeply flawed understanding, which is diametrically opposed to Islam, a religion that favours peace over war, life over death, forgiveness over punishment, reconciliation over conflict, legitimizes violence against non-Muslims, and even against Muslims if they have different views or if they don't practice Islam or if they follow a different sect. Surely, this radical mentality is the biggest problem of the world today. Hopefully the money currently being squandered on weapons will be spent on education instead and they will join forces with illuminated, modern, loving and sensible Muslims.

In a peaceful land named Serenia, five nations lay: Altezia, Deltar, Gerona, and Belthazar. The two major powers, the Altezian Federation and the KIngdom of Deltar, remain in a stagnant cold war as they fight over hegemony. Now, a malignant force is being formed behind the shadows, deep in the darkest parts of Serenia. A force which can mean the end of the cold war, but the beginning of a reign of terror full of bloodshed. The name of this force, you ask? The New Order, a name which in on August 17th, the people of all Serenia learned to dread. If the New Order cannot have their victory then no one shall. For even though they say that their mission is to establish a righteous society, their true goals, the ones which remain in the darkness, are surely malevolent... Please note that this is a work in progress. I will be adding more parts as the story develops.
