EL ESPEJISMO

Resumen del Libro

Libro EL ESPEJISMO

The Mirage is an expression of Dr. Jamal Sanad Al-Suwaidi’s perspective that the struggle in which many Arab and Muslim countries are currently engaged against extremist groups and organizations is not limited to the realm of military and security operations; it is also an extended war of an essentially intellectual nature that requires long-term planning, which is no less important – indeed, perhaps even more so – than planning in military and security terms. Academic scholarship plays a vital role in protecting the security of nations and societies via rigorous analysis of challenges and threats and the subsequent presentation of appropriate solutions. The role of scholars in times of historic conflict is to be at the forefront of the defenders of human and civilizational values against extremists and radical militants. It is to this end that the author has written this book. The book examines this phenomenon from multiple research angles: intellectual, political, ideological, cultural and social, exploring political religious thought in its various manifestations, and explaining the intellectual and organizational disparities between relevant groups. The book tracks the history of this phenomenon, tracing it to its peak in the early 2010s, revealing the intellectual and ideological characteristics of these groups for interested researchers, decision makers and the public in an effort to deconstruct the various obstacles they pose to civilizational progress and development in Arab and Muslim countries. Every chapter reflects the author’s conviction that political religious groups represent neither the true face of Islam nor its moderate values, and that yielding to the claims of these groups is a serious affront to religion and its essential values of moderation and tolerance. The Mirage also employs an insightful research vision in its approach to political religious groups and their various practices and manifestations. It tracks their historical evolution and studies particular examples from their inception up until the recent failure of the Muslim Brotherhood-inspired governments that took power in certain Arab and Muslim countries, identifying the causes of their failure, exposing the fallacy of an 80-year legacy of pretentious slogans that attracted such veneration among these groups and their sympathizers — not least among the Muslim Brotherhood itself. Readers will recognize that various elements of current realities in Arab and Muslim countries show similarities with the backwardness of certain aspects of the European Middle Ages — particularly in terms of the ideologies and practices of political religious groups in the Arab and Muslim worlds in the modern era, and specifically their intellectual and political structures, the relationship between religion and politics, the role of clergy, as well as the prevailing philosophies in Europe and the Arab and Muslim worlds. This gives rise to several questions: are the Arab and Muslim worlds today fighting a similar battle to that experienced by the Europeans around five centuries ago? Does this mean that five centuries separate European and Islamic civilizations? And if so is there any way to overcome such a schism? Are backwardness and modernity inevitably sequential, whereby one becomes a prerequisite to the other? Why is modernity viewed as the antithesis of religiosity—an implicit rejection of religion and its teachings? Why do some groups in the Arab and Muslim societies think that talk about religion ends where talk about progress and development begins? Why have referential concepts disappeared and given way to destructive ideas like those espoused by political religious groups?

Los totalitarismos blandos

Libro Los totalitarismos blandos

¿Qué rasgos tienen en común el nacionalismo vasco, el catalán y el discurso de los populismos de izquierda que se aglutinan en torno a Podemos? ¿Es casualidad que todos ellos desafíen a legalidad democrática a la vez que se autoproclaman los verdaderos demócratas? ¿Estamos ante unos nuevos totalitarismos cuya fuerza residiría en su carácter voluble y blando que los presenta como inofensivos? Iñaki Ezkerra analiza, con gran agudeza y profundidad, el escenario político actual en el que conviven los partidos tradicionales —demagógicos y a menudo hipócritas—, con los nuevos...

Libro Guerra sucia, manos limpias

Cuando el celebre historiador britanico Eric Hobsbawm puso titulo a su gran libro sobre el siglo XX, lo llamo Age of Extremes, que bien pudiera haberse traducido por &la" era de contrastes. Si por contraste entendemos, con la RAE, &la" oposicion, contraposicion o diferencia notable que existe entre personas o cosas, o bien &la" contienda o combate entre personas o cosas, convendremos en que pocas palabras contienen una mayor carga semantica para describir la centuria que termina. Asi pues, esta coleccion -una de las mas recientes de Critica- quiere ofrecer a los lectores una serie de libros...

McMafia

Libro McMafia

A lo largo de una arriesgada investigación, el autor se ha adentrado en las redes de tráfico ilegal en los cinco continentes, con tramas que van desde pistoleros en Ucrania, miembros del sindicato de las drogas de Colombia y Canadá, cibercriminales de Brasil o traficantes de personas de China y España. En los abismos de la globalización, la línea que separa lo legal de lo ilegal es cada vez más difusa.

De héroes y traidores

Libro De héroes y traidores

"Esta es una historia de enredos políticos y regate corto, de decisiones a veces nobles, a veces tristes, del enfrentamiento entre idealistas y pragmáticos, maximalistas y posibilistas, convertidos en héroes y traidores en función del momento y de quién los juzga. Héroes desgraciados reunidos en el mismo personaje unas veces, traidores lúcidos las otras." Las relaciones entre Cataluña y el Estado español atraviesan su peor momento. En el horizonte, aparecen de nuevo los malos gobiernos y las luchas fratricidas, "la periódica renovación de la riña a garrotazos entre hermanos de...
