WAR VERSES: A JIHADIST FAIRYTALE is literary accessible fiction with historical, multicultural, and magical realism elements in the tradition of THE SATANIC VERSES. Framed within a year of jihadist terrorism, WAR VERSES: A JIHADIST FAIRYTALE tells how a family in Arkham, Massachusetts confronts the supernatural ambition behind holy war. The husband and father of this family is an Arabic professor with a jihadist past who travels to India to protect a medieval manuscript written by the blind Nestorian priest who declared Muhammad a prophet. The manuscript promises the secret to ending religious terrorism. Contrary to this hope, the professor's daughter descends into a hallucinatory kingdom where she must choose between life in humanistic culture or life as a child-bride princess in a hate-fueled fairytale. WAR VERSES: A JIHADIST FAIRYTALE is a novel told in 3 parts: PART ONE: MUHAMMAD AND THE ORIGIN OF JIHAD PART TWO: PRINCESS ALUDRA AND THE PALACE OF DECEPTION PART THREE: THE ILLUMINATION OF WARAKA AND THE END OF THE WORLD. Praise for War Verses: a Jihadist Fairytale: "Written as a series of stories, War Verses: A Jihadist Fairytale is a complex examination of the psychological processes involved when Muslims take up the banner and vocation of jihad. How does one recreate the world of the Koran, enter that world and act upon it? What must be suppressed and what must be conditioned for a person to plot murder for the sake of Allah? What kinds of psychological buttons do handlers push to make people into suicide bombers? When they do so, how are the Koran and life example of Muhammad used to pull people back to a more barbaric state of mind? What does Islam offer its believers, then, but submissive slavery in this life and debauchery in the next? Ultimately, what psychological convolutions are required to see this jihadist nightmare as utopia? Certainly this is worth examining in an age when thousands are flocking to ISIS in order to recreate the Koranic world in modern day reality - a nation following Islamic law down to every jot and tittle. A. Human Being has done a great service to help us understand the delusional world of jihad and how its tradition of trauma and abuse is the root cause of this whole-hearted embrace of evil." -- Rebecca Bynum, managing editor of New English Review and author of Allah is Dead: Why Islam is Not a Religion and The Real Nature of Religion. www.newenglishreview.org/ "A brilliant and fantastic tale about what happens to humanity when one flows with the call of evil or stops it, answering a deeper prompt within."
