Terror in the Mind of God
Hi folks - We will not be reading this book for next week, but its an interesting and timely book I wanted to recommend and pass on.
Terror in the Mind of God by: Mark Juergensmeyer
Apparently, his was the first published book to feature a picture of Osama Bin Laden, BEFORE 9/11. His work became of even more interest afterwards.
He has a new book now, which he spoke about at Berkeley last Thursday, called:
Global Rebellion, which may also be of interest...
