She covers eight Arab countries, plus Iran and Israel, in providing a complete, if bleak, picture for Western readers: from poverty-stricken Egypt to rich Saudi Arabia, she believes Islamists are threatening Middle Eastern stability. Whether floundering under incompetent government, corruption, and repression, or, as in the case of Jordan, too dependent on one ruler, the states close to the West are weak, and vulnerable to a movement that promises social justice and moral righteousness. Miller is forthright in her condemnation of the intolerance and sexism of Islamic movements she sees as largely antithetical to Western democracy. A provocative and daring book. Product Description: A FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER IN TODAY'S MIDDLE EAST God Has Ninety-Nine Names is a gripping, authoritative account of the epic battle between modernity and militant Islam that is is reshaping the Middle East. Judith Miller, a reporter who has covered the Middle east for twenty years, takes us inside the militant Islamic movements in ten countries: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Isreal and Iran. She shows that just as there is no unified Arab world, so there is no single Islam: The movements are as different as the countries in which they are rooted. Vivid and comprehensive, Miller's first-and report reveals the meaning of the tumultuous events that will continue to affect the prospects for Arab-Isreali peace and the potential for terrorism worlwide. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Discussing an intersting subject with a biased agenda While the book has addressed the idea that islamic groups in different ME countries have different agendas and follow them using different means, the main theme of the book was to highlight the worst manifestiations of the islamic revival in the ME. Judith Miller only emphasised the fundementalist agenda and discarded all other islamic agendas and groups. Even in her countries selection she has discarded countries that have strong islamic beliefs and open societies like UAE and Malaysia, and other ... Read More Rating: - Good on politics, terrible on Islam She is a good reporter; she has done much research in the Middle East and her viewpoints are largely, very insightful. While my review is critical of her stated views and details about Islam...she is far too careless with details about Islam...the book is well worth reading if one wishes to learn about the past and present of many of the countries she covers in her book. She completely fails when she believes she must choose between the truth and her loyalty for Israel. Like many ... Read More Rating: - Does Judith Miller actually Know the 99 Names? I wonder if Judith Miller's knowledge of Islam included actually learning the 99 names for God, which define the essence of God for Muslims. If she had, I also wonder why it didn't give her reason to pause and then share the true core essence of this faith. I also lived a number of years in the Middle East, not as a professional, but as the American daughter of a father who worked there. I went to a local school, took public transportation, went to the markets, LEARNED ARABIC... in a nutshell, learned ... Read More Rating: - An interesting book I guess I must be the only one who fails to understand why there is such a fuss about this book. Judith Miller, a reporter, spent quite a while interviewing plenty of people and has written a book which tells about what she heard. Its style is anecdotal, of course. It shows plenty about the region and its people, warts and all. Now, what about the reviews of this book? David Pryce-Jones feels that Miller seriously misinterprets the rationale of Islamists. That may well be true. But I think ... Read More Rating: - This is shallow analysis. Don't buy! This is a very lousy book. It is a failing attempt to imitate Tom Friedman's From Beirut to Jerusalem. It is full of mistakes. Don't waste your money or your time buying it and reading it. To illustrate what I mean by full of mistakes; take the chapter that discusses Lebanon, for instance. The author talks about Iranians teaching children martyrdom in Shiite schools in South Lebanon. How could Persian-speaking Iranians communicate with Arabic-speaking Shiite youngsters? The author doesn't seem to ... Read More see more Browse for similar items by category: Religion & Spirituality Authors, A-Z Bible & Other Sacred Texts Buddhism Christianity
