  The Koran and the Flesh

  Ludovic-Mohamed Zahed

  A childhood marked by religion classes, his passion for the Koran, his father's homophobia and his impulses, Ludovic-Lotfi Zahed is the author of an unpublished and rare book on the possible reconciliation between homosexuality and Islam. The man who, as a teenager, turned away from a religion that rejected him, who became a Salafist out of love for his brother in religion—he was unaware of his homosexuality at the time—is today an adult who has matured, a moderate Muslim who returned to his initial positions, denouncing the corruption that reigns within Islam, the quest for power between Salafists and Muslim extremists.
  In a remarkably well-written book, halfway between biography and essay, he explains how he lived through the discovery of his homosexuality. He tells of the many questions of identity that followed, the rejection of his Salafist "brothers" who were disturbed by his effeminate attitude and the relationships of domination within the Muslim community. In his analysis, which appears in the background, the author wonders: Why such a need for universal normalization among his Muslim brothers? Why such a need for gregarious living? Why do they never talk about the well-being of the other?
  The Koran, a stake in the fratricidal wars of those who use religion as a weapon, is a real bargaining chip for dogmatic Muslims. Very early on, he confided in me: “I was astonished by the way in which it is possible to ‘buy’ the respect of a brother by quoting two or three well-felt verses, followed by the commentary of an ulama, a pillar of Islamic law." The Koran and the Flesh is a testimony of an unsuspected richness which, beyond the question of homosexuality, deals with the more ignored aspect of the life of a nearly ordinary Muslim in France.

  Rangers Scouts and Raiders -...

  Throughout history there has always been a need, in military forces, for special units. In the past, these units have usually been ad hoc formations that were disbanded after their mission was complete. It has only been since the early 1950s that such units have remained active, but even in recent times special purpose, special mission units have been organized and used for a period of time or for a specific mission and then either deactivated or replaced by other units. 
   
   
   
  This unique approach to the history of American special forces examines their development through a number of operations, ranging from the French and Indian War in the eighteenth century through to the Vietnam War. From the Son Tay raid to the Force at la Difensa and Rogers' Rangers, the operations are diverse in both organization and purpose, but all contributed to the overall mission of their theater or larger organization, thus proving the continuing need for special units throughout history and even today.

  This book contains the following titles: 
  - The Swift Conquest: The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party did not occur in isolation but was the culmination of a confluence of societal, economic, and political factors. Post-World War I Germany was a nation in turmoil, grappling with humiliation, economic devastation, and political instability. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, placed the blame for the war squarely on Germany's shoulders, imposing severe reparations that crippled its economy. The German people, burdened by hyperinflation, unemployment, and poverty, became disillusioned with the democratic Weimar Republic, which they perceived as weak and ineffectual. 
  - The Most Enigmatic Woman in History: Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in history. For over two millennia, her name has conjured images of beauty, cunning, and power. Yet the true Cleopatra is shrouded in layers of myth, propaganda, and speculation. She was not merely a seductress as often portrayed but a scholar, a diplomat, and a leader who navigated a tumultuous era in ancient history with remarkable skill.
