Hunt for Paradise: the Western-muhamaddan Connection: a Bit About Religions, Politics, Monies, You [and More...] Begonius

Without seeking to lecture readers, she attempts to show not only the interrelation between politics and economics, religion often playing a significant part in both, but in terms of the paradisiacal bliss - material abundance for the West and rapture expected in the hereafter by Islam - to demonstrate such interconnection between the two cultures. These are the genre of the book. Its contents consist of two parts. While Part I treats of Islam as such, both from the historical and contemporary point of view, the theme of Part II is the present-day economy dominated by aggressive capitalism and the impact they have each had on the global scale. Although often critical in cases she deems deserving criticism she nevertheless aims to show that there is most of the time nothing purely black or exclusively white. Indeed, being impartial as well as objective (if that is humanly possible) is a standard she goes by. Dealing with due seriousness as she does with a score of subtopics directly or indirectly related to the mentioned two themes, she also so as to lighten the narrative interjects here and there humor into it. In the final part, the Epilog, she expresses hope that mankind may in the end find a solution to its sky-high problems.
