In his fascinating, terrifying and often very funny book, James Hider takes his doubts about religious beliefs straight into the dark heart of the world's holy wars—from Israel to Gaza to Iraq—the birthplace that spawned so many faiths—and then back to Jerusalem. From hardcore Zionist settlers still fighting ancient Biblical battles in the hills of the West Bank to Shiite death squads roaming the lawless streets of Iraq in the aftermath of Saddam; whether it's the misappropriation and martyrdom of Mickey Mouse by Gaza's Islamists, or a US president acting on God's orders, Hider sees the hallucinatory effect of what he calls the 'crack cocaine of fanatical fundamentalism' all around him. As he meets terrorists, suicide bombers, soldiers, ayatollahs, clerics, and ordinary and extraordinary people alike, the question that sparked his journey continues to plague his thoughts: how can people not only believe in this madness, but die and kill for it too? This extraordinary and timely book takes the God Delusion debate onto the streets of the Middle East. It casts an unflinching yet compassionate eye on the very worst and most violent crimes committed in the name of religion, and then sharply asks the questions the world needs to answer if we are ever to stand a chance of facing our own worst demons.
The horrors committed in the name of religion in the world today are nowhere more obvious than in the Middle East. Whether we are talking about Shi-ite death squads roaming the lawless streets of Iraq in the aftermath of Saddam or hardcore Israeli settlers condoning 'tactical strikes' to clear the way for more new homes; whether it's the delusional leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade in Gaza or a US marine convinced that he's doing god's work when he tortures a prisoner, James Hider sees the malign influence of what he calls the 'crack cocaine of fanatical fundamentalism' all around him. He's not the kind of journalist to shy away from danger, so as he travels around the middle East, from Israel to Gaza and finally to Iraq, he takes his doubts about religious belief to the very heart of the world's holy wars. He meets terrorists and suicide bombers, soldiers and ayatollahs, ordinary people and extraordinary people. The question in the back of his mind is why if all these people are so religious do they expend so much time and energy on trying to kill each other? This extraordinary and timely book is a fascinating, terrifying and yet often very funny extension of the God Delusion debate, in travelogue form. It casts an unflinching eye on the very worst and most violent crimes committed in the name of belief and asks questions which the world needs to answer in order to stand a chance of survival.
I am a spider who is higher in rank than other spiders. With all humility, if all the spiders in this world were put in one hand and I was put in the other I would outweigh them in superiority. I am not one to make false claims and show-off, I am simply stating facts. I do not think that I need to introduce myself to the reader, for I am sure you understand that I am the spider of the cave that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) hid in. I am the one, who was responsible for the Prophet's deliverance. I am the one, who Allah (God) sent to protect him. My web is very flimsy and light and the slightest breeze can blow it away. However, despite the weakness of my web, I managed to ward off the iron swords of the atheists that went out in pursuit of the Prophet, and moreover, I was able to defeat them! The outcome of the conflict between the spiders' weak silk and the iron of the swords was the defeat of iron. My house is considered a parable of weakness, "Verily, the frailest (weakest) of houses is the spider's house." I sat in my house protecting the noble house of Islam and guarding the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad ibn ' Abdullah (peace be upon him).That was not all that happened to me. Something even more wonderful happened; I saw the Prophet. I know that after the Prophet's death, millions will visit his grave to cry and pray.

A unique retelling of a milestone in early Islamic history, the hijra, using stunning silhouette illustrations.
Ali overcomes his fear of spiders by learning how useful they truly are and how a spider once saved the Prophet Muhammad's life.
What if the crow who showed Cain how to bury Abel was returning from a justice council with the corpse of a condemned and executed fellow crow? Ahmad Bahjat imagines this scenario and others in the wildly inventive tales he collects in Our Story. Bahjat envisions animal lives and communities as complete as human ones, and he retells the familiar stories of the prophets through this new lens, adding a layer of illuminating viewpoints to the well-known stories. No one has been able to ask Salih’s camel what she thought of the disbelievers’ refutations, but through Bahjat’s creative and insightful tales, we can now conjecture. A feat of imagination and elaborate world building, these stories combine a Muslim’s love of the prophets and a desire to follow them with the recognition that humanity is not alone on this earth. Our Story provides a new frame of reference for our most beloved childhood stories.
