What's Right with Islam : A New Vision for Muslims and the West Feisal Abdul Rauf

When Enron, the seventh largest company in the country, collapsed into one of the decade's biggest business stories, Fortune reporters Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind expanded their coverage of the scandal into a bestselling book, The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron.

Today, their book has been expanded into a documentary film that opens in Houston and New York City theaters this Friday, spreading in the following weeks from Pleasantville, N.Y., to Pasadena, Calif. Associate Editor Vandana Sinha speaks to McLean about her take on Emmy Award-winning producer and director Alex Gibney's vision, and how a one-time household energy company came to star in a movie house near you.

A New Vision for Muslims and the West
By Feisal Abdul Rauf

Islam and America
- Three Years After 9/11
By Laura Sheahen

"Far from being incompatible, Islamic values and American values are very similar..."

What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is the Imam of Masjid al-Farah in New York City and the founder of the American Sufi Muslim Association. A popular interfaith speaker, he teaches Islam and Sufism at the Center for Religious Inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Church in Manhattan and at the New York Seminary. He spoke with Beliefnet recently about his book What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West.

Crimes Against Nature : How George W. Bush and His Corporate Pals Are Plundering the Country and Hijacking Our Democracy
By Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

How Americans Were Seduced by War
By Paul Craig Roberts

Americans have been betrayed. Sooner or later Americans will realize that they have been led to defeat in a pointless war by political leaders who they inattentively trusted. They have been misinformed by a sycophantic corporate media too mindful of advertising revenues to risk reporting truths branded unpatriotic by the propagandistic slogan, "you are with us or against us."

What happens when Americans wake up to their betrayal? It is too late to be rescued from catastrophe in Iraq, but perhaps if Americans can understand how such a grand mistake was made they can avoid repeating it. In a forthcoming book from Oxford University Press, The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced By War, Andrew J. Bacevich writes that we can avoid future disasters by understanding how our doctrines went wrong and by returning to the precepts laid down by our Founding Fathers, men of infinitely more wisdom than those currently holding reins of power.

Bury the Chains : Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves by Adam Hochschild

Ed. note: In January 2004, we posted commentary and links to Against All Odds by Adam Hochschild - with an intro by Tom Engelhardt titled History to the Rescue. On about Monday, Mother Jones posted Bury the Chains: An Interview with Adam Hochschild. This is some nice reading that introduces Adam's new book (above). In terms of Black History, this is a story that a lot of black and white readers might not know much about, but should, for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is how nearly single handed, a dozen men meeting at a print shop in 1787, fought for the abolition. Olaudah Equiano, a brilliant ex-slave who enthralled audiences throughout the British Isles; John Newton, the former slave ship captain who wrote "Amazing Grace"; Granville Sharp, an eccentric musician and self-taught lawyer; and Thomas Clarkson, a fiery organizer who repeatedly crisscrossed Britain on horseback, devoting his life to the cause. He and his fellow activists brought slavery in the British Empire to an end in the 1830s, long before it died in the United States. The only survivor of the printing shop meeting half a century earlier, Clarkson lived to see the day when a slave whip and chains were formally buried in a Jamaican churchyard. Since learning of this history nearly a year ago, hardly a day passes that I don't think about it. The slavery that supposedly ended now lives on in a different form. Call it the Wal-Martizationing of the planet. Maybe using some of the same tactics as outlined in Adam's book, we can get some ideas on how to end racism, religious fundamentalism and the Fascism that has re-gripped this world since the end of WWII - in less than 75 years... I look forward to reading and reviewing Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire's Slaves by Adam Hochschild. Watch this space. MORE

Trouble with Islam * Why I am a Muslim

Today we offer a how-to book for protection from mischief-makers, psychic vampires, drama queens and renegade politicians, Positive Energy: 10 Extraordinary Prescriptions for Transforming Fatigue, Stress, and Fear into Vibrance, Strength, and Love by Judith Orloff. And secondly, a book for making mischief on those who use Dr. Snake's Voodoo Spellbook, and this type of book or no book to make mischief. This is what they used to hospitalize John Ashcroft with gallstone complications while he was dabbling around with spiritualism. The Ashcroft-types judge Judith Orloff's Positive Energy to be satanically incompatible with the KJV; hence, no protection. How's that for faith-based hypocrisy and cutting off one's spiritual Pinocchio?

Doreen Virtue Books

The importance of Joe Wilson's The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity: A Diplomat's Memoir is that it points out how insane and irresponsible the Bush White House is. Joe's wife's "mission" was to track suitcase atom bombs so they didn't get into the country. The Bush White House blew the cover on Joe's wife, and an operation that had been in the making for years. The Bush White House not only blew Valerie's cover, they blew the cover on her CIA "fronts" and down-line all over the world, and damaged our national security beyond anything Usama bin Laden could have ever dreamed. Blinded by the Right : The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative is written by David Brock, who if anyone remembers, came back (to life) from the days when his mission on the other side of The Matrix was to destroy Anita Hill.

CIVIL RIGHTS AND WRONGS: A MEMOIR OF RACE AND POLITICS, 1944-1996<BR>by Harry S. Ashmore

"Near the beginning of his 1944 seminal work on American race relations, Swedish author Gunnar Myrdal expressed hope that "huge institutional structures" would mitigate bigotry and renew faith in the American Creed. Among the structures with the potential to serve as "mighty organs" of racial justice and understanding were organized religion, the public education establishment (especially higher education), organized labor, and the business sector. If not champions of integration and racial equality, these institutions, Myrdal believed, were capable of tempering the excesses of white supremacy."

14OCT2002 Crisis, Economic Depression, Upheaval, and War

Democracy and Economic Cycles - A potential disaster or opportunity? Thom Hartmann We have recently seen, all too often, the strange fruits borne by placing a corporate sentry where a public guardian should stand: for instance, we now know that the California energy crisis was manipulated into existence by Enron and a few other Texas energy companies. The cost to humans, for this corporate plunder, was horrific; but who was accountable, and who will go on trial? And more to the point, how did it come to be that corporations had the ability to do such things while the public protested vigorously? [MORE]

Woodward: Follow the Money - CIA's Cash Toppled Taliban

Bob Woodward of Washington Post and Watergate (All the President's Men fame, and the author of Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate and The Commanders describes in his latest book Bush at War elements within the Bush White House as "Beyond hell-bent for action against Saddam..." The book portrays Powell with having to pretend that there was a policy consensus within the war cabinet on Iraq and the Middle East. Powell called it being "in the icebox" during periods when the White House banned him from television. Bush at War also tells the story of a dimwit really thinking with spending money and lives he could keep the status quo and bring about peace - with no understanding that western policy with regard to the status quo is cultural suicide; i.e., not knowing what peace is in the first place.

Forbidden Truth in the News Again

Forbidden Truth: U.S.-Taliban Secret Oil Diplomacy, Saudi Arabia and the Failed Search for bin Laden by Jean-Charles Brisard, Guillaume Dasquie, Lucy Rounds, and translated by Wayne Madsen

MI6 halted bid to arrest bin Laden. Startling revelations by French intelligence experts back David Shayler's alleged 'fantasy' about the Gadaffi plot. The allegations have emerged in the book Forbidden Truth, published in America by two French intelligence experts who reveal that the first Interpol arrest warrant for bin Laden was issued by Libya in March 1998.

According to journalist Guillaume Dasquie and Jean-Charles Brisard, an adviser to French President Jacques Chirac, British and US intelligence agencies buried the fact that the arrest warrant had come from Libya and played down the threat. Five months after the warrant was issued, al-Qaeda killed more than 200 people in the truck bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania...
