If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
From Muhammad to Bin Laden analyzes the ideological, religious, and cultural foundations of one of the most inconceivable phenomena in contemporary world politics. Bukay analyzes the homicide bombings and atrocities perpetuated by worldwide jihad. He also uses information from primary sources to suggest how to cope with this lethal phenomenon.The book explores the meaning and interpretation of the seemingly benign concept of dawah, the expansion of the Islamic community. Dawah provides the religious and ideological justification for the lethal phenomenon of worldwide jihad; it describes the incentive and motivational drive that support the emergence and the operation of the fundamentalist Islamic movement. Bukay locates the dimensions of the phenomenon of jihad as well as the reasons, motivations, and aspects of the behavior of fundamentalist groups. The importance of this work lies in its skillful combination of historical perspectives and contemporary dynamics, religious and anthropological aspects of the phenomena, and its use of research tools of both the humanities and social sciences.By exploring the religious and cultural foundations of homicide bombers activities, Bukay explains the essence of jihad, how it is connected to the dawah, and together, how dawah and jihad serve as the platform of the current worldwide terrorist activities. Bukay quotes religious edicts and declarations of classical and modern Islamic texts, as well as contemporary Islamic fanatic movements from Ibn Hanbal in the eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the mid-twentieth century. He also aims to bring to the worlds consciousness the aims and objectives of fundamentalist Islam. The volume concludes by challenging the free world to wake up before the bells of another world war start to ring. From Muhammad to Bin Laden will interest scholars, policymakers, and lay readers. Its importance is transparent, particularly in light of the current developments in the Middle East.

Muhammad said: name yourself after me ... and whoever sees me in a dream, he surely sees me for Satan cannot impersonate me. Who intentionally ascribes something to me falsely he will surely take his place in hellfire.
Narrated by Abu Hurairah
We love the Arabs, because Muhammad was an Arab, because the Qur`an is written in Arabic and because those living in paradise speak Arabic. He who loves the Arabs loves me, and he who hates the Arabs hates me.
Series of ahadith related to Muhammad
History has never known warriors so merciful to their captives as the Muslims who followed the teachings of their religion.
Moulavi C. Ali Cheragh
Islams universality and obligation to gain power over other nations distinguishes jihad from the holy war of other religions.
Ibn Khaldun
In a society where politics are entirely dominated by religion, there is no articulate distinction between politics and religion, and political aims will always be represented as religious aims.
Rudolph Peters
The first duty of the Islamic world is to exalt the word of Allah until it is supreme. Hence the only proper relationship to the non-Islamic world is of perpetual warfare ... until the whole world is converted or submits to Islam.
Ann Lambton
There is no doubt that the Muslim jurists conceived jihad in the sense of engaging in a war to increase the Dar al-Islam as an integral part of Islamic faith ... with the essential aim of uprooting unbelief and preparing the way for a creation of Islamic order on earth.
Abdulaziz Sachedina
The basic values of enlightenment are in danger, not only because of the emerging fanatic beliefs, but because too many people are trying to understand and compromise the madness.
Paul Toynbe, The Guardian
The Arab-Islamic terrorists strategy against the free world is comprised of two parallel but corresponding and coordinated arms: jihad , as a holy war against the infidels, and Da`wah , as the persuasion and conviction means to join Islam. Both are intended to achieve the same objectives, both are used at the same time by different perpetrators and against different targets; and both are important in the march of Islam to subdue the free world. Jihad
Da`wah
The proof of the deep connection between jihad and da`wah , is the way that the most important and influential Islamic classical exegetes put them together in the Hadith and in the Fiqh .and means to economize the Islamic body-politics resources, to save its energies. Indeed, jihad and da`wah are the main theme of Islamic practice.
Islam is a missionary religion, an ever-expending faith that has no borders and no political limits. It is the universal religion for all mankind, a total way of life and a cornerstone of personal conduct.
Islam is the verbal noun formed from the verb aslama , a set of performed ritual actions, which can be interpreted as the human acts of worship that the Muslims practice. Islam is the culmination of Gods previous revelations (Judaism and Christianity included). It supersedes them and virtually renders them obsolete, and it is now Allah s sole revelation and religion for all humanity. Muhammad The compilation of the Quran had been done in the time of the third Khalifah , `Uthman, in 651. The main reason for the `Uthman compilation was the schism ( takhaluf ) among the believers about the correct Quran , for there were many versions. Concerning this, there is a Hadith from Ibn-Hanbal, related to Muhammad:
The Quran was revealed in seven forms; any form according to which you read is correct; do not argue about (the Quran ), because disputation over it is disbelief.
The process of the Arabization of the occupied territories of the Middle East was no less important than the Islamization one, most probably even a preferable one, since it fits the salient features of Arab cultural behavior and personality. since it is essential to understand that Islam is an Arab religion. It was brought to the Arabs by an Arab with an Arab mission; the Quran is written in Arabic, the language of prayer of all the Muslims is Arabic, and the great conquests of Islam were carried out by Arab armies.
The aim of Muhammad was originally to unite those Arabs dwelling in Arabia, yet the successful expansion by occupying the areas around, eventually led to the perception of the whole world as doomed to be a target of conquest or domination.
These factors have proven the multifaceted connections between Islam and Arabs. Yet, a central point of analysis and understanding we would like to make is that the real issue is the Arab culture and patterns of behavior. Islam is the means, the legitimization tool, the religious excuse for the political ends. Yet, until today, the most important element is the Arab role in the Islamic performance, and this stems mainly from their political culture, generated in the course of hundreds of years in the deserts of Arabia. The Arab centrality is the factor behind the violence and terrorism of today, as is being shown their huge participation in the terrorism worldwide, what is called the world jihad .
The state of affairs in which the Islamic world is divided into independent states whose rulers make no claims to religious authority and govern in secular terms, is an anomaly, as they claim. It is the present-day embodiment of trends that characterize the Arabs, that appeared early in the history of Islam. Arabs are deeply divided by social cleavages and had never been united throughout their history. The extended family and especially the hamulah , as parochial cleavages, were the central social and political force, and they still are much more important then the state and its political institutions.
