This book puts together grounded research on the discourses that
counter Islamophobic tropes in North America. Dealing with an
important and urgent issue of human rights, it explores how public
policies, new conceptualizations, and social movements can
transform Islamophobia into a positive and healthy discourse.
Surprisingly, and apart from selected media studies, empirical
investigations about countering xenophobia and hate are rare. The
book proposes effective means and mechanisms to help generate
debate, dialogue, and discussion concerning policy issues to
mitigate Islamophobia. Written in uncomplicated language, this
topical book will attract specialist and non-specialist readers
interested in the topic of Islamophobia, understanding the roots of
Islamophobic hate rhetoric, and how to counter it.
WLAN users often complain of poor signal coverage. Most of Radio
Signals suffer from Reflectivity, Absorption, penetrating
obstructions, Multi-path, Inclement Weather during the propagation
path and time. All of that reduce signal efficiency and wake a
received signal. 1) An antenna with High gain and wide bandwidth
with circular polarized suitable for the indoor and outdoor WLAN in
2.4GHz. 2) Theoretical results are obtained to satisfy good return
loss requirements and specific radiation pattern shapes for the
Patch antenna. 3) The practical result is still big challenge to be
verified, where the project aspire to prove that down-to-earth. An
antenna is a transducer that converts radio frequency electric
current to electromagnetic waves that are then radiated into space.
The electric field plane determines the polarization or orientation
of the radio wave. In general, most antennas radiate either linear
or circular polarization. Where a circular polarized antenna, the
plane of polarization rotates in a circle making one complete
revolution during one period of the wave.
"Weapons of Mass Distraction" is a compilation of sermons that
challenge us to think and act responsibly on current social issues
that promise to have a huge impact on the planet's well-being in
the coming century.
Globalization, the attack on democracy, the mistreatment of
women, and the growing AIDS pandemic are but a few of the topics
taken on by these courageous sermons that dare to challenge the
prevailing mindset that labels democratic protest as
unpatriotic.
This collection of hope-inspiring messages, accessible to
persons of all faiths, is anything but anti-American. In fact, they
speak to the very core values held high by this country for so
long.
"Weapons of Mass Distraction" is a welcomed theological dialogue
with the great social issues of our generation, coming from the
perspective of the "silenced majority" those who's protest cries
against wars of aggression did not make the evening news; and who's
votes in the 2000 presidential election were ignored to the
detriment of millions.
Finally, "Weapons of Mass Distraction" is a call to action; a
call to all those who "see the trouble we are in" and have the
courage enough to do the work of rebuilding the walls.

This book addresses the challenges threatening the quality of life
and well-being of people living in the MENA region. It focuses on
both internal / local and external / global drivers impacting their
well-being particularly in the domains of economy, health, and
education. Additionally, it presents a critical analysis to help
readers understand the position that the MENA countries currently
occupy in the world. Lastly, it provides policy analysts and
decision makers with otherwise hard to obtain data and information
related to socio-economic, cultural, demographic, technological,
and political factors that have influenced the quality of life
there.
This book focuses on the drivers of Jihadist terrorism and explains
how a better understanding of these drivers can lead to more
effective counterterrorism policies all over the world. It builds
on results of the extensive body of quality of life studies to
document the historical, geo-political, economic, religious,
cultural and media drivers of Jihadist terrorism. Guided by a major
theme this book shows that the significant gains we have made in
combatting Jihadist terrorism are not enough, but that we need to
embrace a much broader and comprehensive view of the antecedents
and the sustaining enablers of this threat to help guide any
sustainable efforts. It proposes interventions designed to
effectively treat the causes of this insidious disease. This book
is of great interest to new media, policy makers concerned about
national security as well as people and academic scholars whose
research interest involves conflict and conflict resolution,
religious studies, terrorism and counterterrorism, Islamic history,
and Islamic geo-politics.

el-Aswad introduces the concepts of worldviews/cosmologies of
Muslims, explaining that the different types of worldviews are not
constructed solely by religious scholars or intellectual elite, but
are latent in Islamic tradition, embedded in popular imagination,
and triggered through people's everyday interaction in various
countries and communities. He draws from a number of sources
including in-depth interviews and participant observation as well
as government documents and oral history. Through the perspectives
of ethno-cosmology, emic interpretation of sacred tradition,
modernity, folklore, geography, dream, imagination, hybridity, and
identity transformation, he examines how culturally and religiously
constructed images of the world influence the daily actions of
people in various Muslim communities. The worldviews of Sunnis,
Shi'as, and Sufis are covered in turn, and Muslims in the UAE,
Egypt, Bahrain, and suburban Detroit are the focus. el-Aswad also
discusses the effects of Western attempts at imposing its
essentially secular worldview through the process of globalization
and how cyberspace has promoted connectivity among Muslim
communities and, especially in the United States, opened up
unlimited options and new possibilities.
