Islam is a religion that seeks also to be a political and territorial power. This book is an easy-to-use resource to understand Islam in Britain today, how it is developing and its influence on the country. It asks penetrating questions about how Muslim communities in the UK could develop in the future, whether by assimilation or separation, and how British authorities and institutions appear to be yielding to a process of Islamisation.

The last twenty years have seen a distinctively Islamic financial system become a major player on the world economic stage. Many Muslims have rejected Western financial products and institutions, believing them to be incompatible with sharia, and have generated a wide range of alternatives. This book explains how this movement is part of the Islamist agenda to subvert and subjugate Western systems under the rule of Islam, and draws out its implications for global finance and politics

Understanding Shari'a Finance

Islam is a one-way street. Non-Muslims can convert to Islam, but Muslims are not allowed to convert from Islam. All schools of sharia specify the death penalty for an adult male Muslim who leaves Islam, and the law imposes many other penalties on apostates. This book is written to raise awareness of Islam’s apostasy law and promote the case for its repeal. It looks at apostasy in the Islamic texts, the debate amongst Muslims about the law, and the treatment of converts from Islam today.

My Devotional Journal can both encourage you in your own spiritual journey and make an ideal present for your Christian friends. As Christians we plant our footsteps in those of our Lord and go wherever He leads us. Jesus` life led Him to the cross, the resurrection, the ascension and to glory itself. This too is the pattern for our lives. We are led often to the cross. Pain and suffering are normal for the Christian for we are not immune from the effects of the world, the conditions that surround us and our own human weaknesses. We experience bereavement, sickness and loss. But many Christians, in fact one in ten of all Christians, experience another set of difficulties - the suffering that comes as a result of their allegiance to Christ, the pain of rejection, the pressure of discrimination or injustice and violent persecution as they take up the cross of Christ. This can lead even to death. In this journal, we will seek to journey with suffering Christians as they seek to follow in the footsteps of our Lord. We will seek to empathise with their ordeals but also, with them, to experience something of the joy and the glory that often come with pain and suffering.
