priorities for humankinds in the 21st century. The World will
experience change in the global climate that will also cause shifts
in the local climate that will have an impact on local and the
global agriculture. This book reviews the impact of climate change
on the health status of livestock and incidence of diseases,

After 9/11, Muslims have been raced as extremists and terrorists.
Although, extremism is not a religious phenomenon but in the
contemporary days it is being considered that the religious mindset
is involved in such extremist activities. The violent aspect of
extremism is changing the peaceful environment of the world. This
book, therefore, provides the different manifestations of
extremism, nature, causes, and solutions. As far as Islamic
perception is concerned, the root word of Islam is "salaama" means
peace. It means the flesh and blood of Islam is peace which comes
from moderate and balanced life. Both Allah and His Holly Prophet
(SAW) warn those Muslims who are excessive and violent in religious
rituals, particularly when they go beyond the moderate Islamic
position. Tolerance, moderation, peace, etc. are the major moral
teachings of Islam. Terrorism and violence are not the part of
Islam. Almost 1400 years have passed but Islam is still the most
moderate, accommodating and flexible religion in the entire world.
It is therefore, would not be unjust to say that Islam is
applicable in the modern age. All we need to look from a new
position.
The Middle East and North Africa Region encapsulates many of the
issues surrounding water and human mobility. It is the most
water-scarce region in the world and is experiencing unprecedented
levels of forced displacement. Ebb and Flow: Volume 2. Water in the
Shadow of Conflict in the Middle East and North Africa examines the
links between water risks (harmful outcomes related to water, from
droughts and floods to lack of sanitation), conflict, and forced
displacement. It aims to better explain how to address the
vulnerabilities of forcibly displaced persons and their host
communities, and to identify water policy and investment responses.
Contrary to common belief, the report finds that the evidence
linking water risks with conflict and forced displacement in the
region is not unequivocal. Water risks are more frequently related
to cooperation than to conflict at both domestic and international
levels. But while conflict is not necessarily a consequence of
water risks, the reverse is a real and concerning phenomenon:
conflict amplifies water risks. Since 2011, there have been at
least 180 instances of intentional targeting of water
infrastructure in conflicts in Gaza, Libya, the Syrian Arab
Republic, and the Republic of Yemen. Forcibly displaced persons and
their host communities face myriad water risks. Access to safe
drinking water is a daily struggle for millions of forcibly
displaced Iraqis, Libyans, Palestinians, Syrians, Yemenis, and
international migrants in the region, heightening public health
risks. Tanker trucks often help fill the gap; however, significant
issues of water quality, reliability, and affordability remain.
Host communities also face localized declines in water availability
and quality as well as unplanned burdens on water services
following the arrival of forcibly displaced persons. The reality of
protracted forced displacement requires a shift from humanitarian
support toward a development approach for water security, including
structured yet flexible planning to deliver water services and
sustain water resources for forcibly displaced persons and their
host communities.
