Rashid Ahmed

Allen Lane, 2008

A deeply troubling book
Ahmed Rashid has long been a leading expert on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Muslim states of Central Asia that were once part of the Soviet Union. In 2000, the year before 9/11, he published 'Taliban', a book which politicians rushed to read after the attack on the Twin Towers; and if Central Asia catches fire, they will doubtlessly rush to his following book, 'Jihad', first published in ...

Taliban

Ahmed Rashid

I B Tauris & Co Ltd, 2002

Taliban
Mr. Rashid is extremely knowledgeable, and that is reflected in his book which traces the roots, support and the Islamic philosophy of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. In fact, there is an overwhelming amount of information in this book. My problem stems from the confusing amount of leaders and movements that make up this book. It's slow reading. It is, however, a must for the student ...

Ted Rall

Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing, 2006

Reveals American Contempt for Central Asians
Ted Rall's book is worth reading, for a damning self-portrait of an "ugly American" version 2006--huckster, radio host, cartoonist, coldly cynical, thrill-seeking, slumming Ivy Leaguer, brimming with smug condescension and contempt for those he encounters on various tours through Central Asia over the past decade. Rall waltzes through some of the most violent and tragic regions on earth ...

Ahmed Rashid

Yale University Press, 2003

Valuable and Important Book
Jihad by Ahmed Rashid provides an explanation for the rise of militant Islam in Central Asia. I purchased this book because I enjoyed another of Rashid's works, Taliban, and because it was on sale. Within the first few pages, the significance of Rashid's book is obvious. For one, the author is an objective journalist (that term should be redundant but, sadly, it isn't) with first-hand experience ...

All about religion and Mullah Omar fundamentalism ...
If you want to understand Afghanistan latest history, this is a great choice.

It is clear to all of us that the Taliban are Islamic Fundamentalist and that its presence on Afghanistan has rendered the country ...

Applied Sufism
Ahmed, Abdur Rashid

WingSpan Press, 2006

Applied Sufism frames the teachings of Sufism in the form of a response to those seeking a whole and integral path, a unity of form and meaning, and intimate knowledge of God. The intimate portrayal of conscience afforded the reader in the exposition of these principles imbues these lectures with a light that is at once familiar and rare. In short, Shaykh Ahmed Abdur Rashid, as an exemplar and spiritual mentor, and in his teaching legacy has ...
