This Book: The Fallacy of the Islamic State answers significant and crucial questions on the subject of the 'Islamic State', which are systematically avoided by Muslim scholars and the rest of the Islamic world, e.g Why does violence arise instantly and automatically whenever, and wherever there is a call for an Islamic State? The formation of an Islamic State under any name, however carefully promulgated, leads to violation of human rights and ultimately to violence, bloodshed and butchery. The brutality and inhumane behaviour of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is not a question of extremism, as many claim. Rather, ISIS is part and parcel of Islamic law (termed Sharia in Arabic). In this day and age, Islamic law needs radical and fundamental reform. Through deep insight into the Quran, this important book offers answers as to how this reform may intelligently be accomplished. The origin of the concept of the Islamic state can be traced back to the dispute that arose between the companions of Prophet Mohammed following his death, or rather while the Prophet was still on his deathbed. Great wars and bloody battles broke out during the early days of Islam, in which the Prophet companions beheaded each other. Separation of Islam from the state paves the way to world peace. Historical records of the centuries during which Sharia was the governing standard indicate that human rights and fundamental freedoms were theoretically and practically non-existent. Military intervention is not a solution to the current ISIS crisis. Despite international commitment, investment of huge financial resources and high-tech military equipment, terrorism is still on the rise. It is the sacred responsibility of everyone enjoying life and freedom on this planet to join hands with enlightened individuals in order to rein in the horses of political and militant Islam. Such a feat can only be achieved through a novel and creative understanding of Islam. It is the only way to up-root and eradicate ISIS, militant Islam, Wahabi and Shia'a fallacies, Muslim Brothers erroneous thinking and the rest of Muslim traditional schools once and for all; thus paving the way towards liberation and final human redemption.
