        by Buti, Muhammad Sa'id Ramadan

        By Muhammad Sa'id Ramadan al-Buti. What is the real size of freedom which man enjoys before the reality his servitude to Allah? What is the reality of servitude?

What is Islam's attitude towards freedom of speech? Where is the personal freedom within the existence of the law which imposes murdering the apostate? Does freedom have the capacity for multiple categories, parties and opposition?

        QATAR PAPERS

        HOW DOHA FINANCES THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EUROPE

        by Christian Chesnot / Georges Malbrunot

        Les « Qatar papers » révèlent la cartographie du régime en France et en Europe menée par Qatar Charity, l’ONG qatarie la plus puissante. Ces documents confidentiels, pour la première fois, détaillant la plupart des 140 projets de financement de mosquées, d’écoles et de centres islamiques, au profit d’associations aux Frères musulmans. Ils révèlent le salaire versé à Tariq Ramadan, une figure de l’islam politique que Doha paraine en dehors des ses frontières. A l’issue d’une enquête menée dans six pays européens et une dizaines de villes de France, les auteurs exposent la dissimulation, parfois la double langue, des associations musulmanes sur leur finance étranger, aisi que la politique de l’autruche suivre par de nombreux maires, par électoralisme ou ignorance. Ils soulignent l’absurdité de la situation : avec l’argent des fidèles seul comme subvention, commentez les mosquées de France pourrait-elles se priver de l’aide de l’étranger ? Un voyage dans les coulisses d’une ONG riche et opaque liée au sommet de l’Etat qatari, comme le sénateur par plusieurs membres de la famille régnante, l’Al Thani. https://librairie-averroes.com/fr/actualites/252-qatar-papers-how-doha-finances-the-muslim-brotherhood-in-europe-9782914057004.html

        The Story of Muslims in the Americas, in Thirteen Mosques

        by Omar Mouallem

        Muslims have lived in the New World for over 500 years, before Protestantism even existed, but their contributions were erased by revisionists and ignorance. In this colorful alternative history o f the Americas, we meet the enslaved and indentured Muslims who changed the course of history, the immigrants who advanced the Space Race and automotive revolution, the visionaries who spearheaded civil rights movements, and the 21st-century Americans shifting the political landscape while struggling for acceptance both within and outside their mosques.   In search of these forgotten stories, Mouallem traveled 7,000 miles, from the northwest tip of Brazil to the southeast edge of the Arctic, to visit thirteen pivotal mosques. What he discovers is a population as diverse and conflicted as you’d find in any other house of worship, and deeply misunderstood. Parallel to the author’s geographical journey is a personal one. A child of immigrants, Mouallem discovers that, just as the greater legacy of Western Islam was lost on him, so were the stories of prior generations in his family. An atheist since the 9/11 attacks, Mouallem reconsiders Islam and his place within it.   Meanwhile, as the rise of hate groups threaten the liberties of Muslims in the West, ideologues from the East try to suppress their liberalism. With pressures to assimilate coming from all sides, will Muslims of the Americas ever be free to worship on their own terms?

        Goat Production and Health Management

        by Satish Kumar Jindal

        Goats have a bright future as a domestic animal because of its continued usefulness and generation of new information to maintain this species in a more sustainable and profitable manner. Goat farming requires less capital to start and maintain than cattle or buffalo farming. Goat also has a higher reproductive rate as compared to cattle or buffaloes. Goat can sustain itself on marginal lands where other species of livestock may not even survive. The book has put emphasis on goat production in India but lot of information from world over is mentioned. Goats have been a major part of the research and development programmes aimed at poverty alleviation via the use of small ruminants. Research is of little use if its results are not disseminated and this book is part of the strategy for the dissemination and promotion of the research results to ensure that poor and under-resourced farmers benefit. The publication is expected to provide a useful reference source for all those who are interested in goats.
