Mirror Images of Evil

By MR George a Kinias

Mirror Images is a personal virtual journey of mind and soul to the dangerous and remote areas of human faith and culture. It challenges the reader to ask who the terrorists of 9/11 were, and comprehend what motivates and sustains the dedication of countless others around the globe (most recently ISIS). The journey started by going back to the birth of Islam in the seventh century and the Islamic empires that followed from Arabia to Andalusia: it covered the emergence of Mongols and Seljuk Turks; the Ottoman conquests and the Golden age of Islam; the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of modern Middle East. The first leg of the journey concluded with the resurrection of the vision of an Islamic nation, including the birth, evolution and mutation of Islamic fundamentalism movements all the way to present-time global terrorist networks. This part, moreover, can be viewed as a historical, religious and cultural journey in the heartlands of Islam, aimed at enriching the knowledge of the reader about Islam and Muslims. The second part of the journey took the reader to the holy wars of Christendom with all the violence and treachery that characterized that era; examined the creation and rise of neoconservatives in America in the second half of the twentieth century, and looked at the terrifying mirror images of Islamism and Christianism.
