Mark Durie speaking at next ICJS function

What's happened to the world in the last few weeks and days?

Here are some of the countries featuring in the world's media (just listen to the overnight broadcasts from the BBC): - America, Australia, Afghanistan, Bali, China, Denmark, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen all in the news in the first three days of the new year. Why is all this happening?

News Items dominating the headlines in the last few days: 

• Somali national charged with attempting to kill Danish artist.
• Barack Obama in headlines over bungled handling of Christmas Day would-be bomber.
• Brits and Yanks close down embassies in Yemen.
• Pakistan volleyball bomb toll climbs to more than 90 dead.
• CIA loses 7 operatives in Aghanistan (6 others injured).
• British hostage released by an extremist Shia group in Iraq allied to Iran.
• Muslim hardliners involved in inciting violence in Urumqi (China) with 120 Han Chinese slain.
• Bali terror alert during holiday season.
• The Australian government considering the introduction of full-body scanners at Australian airports and expects a recommendation on the issue soon.

How important is it then, to understand the underlying ideology that drives Islamic fundamentalism?

Mark Durie, who has his finger on the pulse, will speak about the unexpected and sudden rise in terrorism on Feb 4th.

Knowledge is power and as citizens of the free world, we have an obligation to be informed and to inform. Let's not bury our heads in the sands of ignorance, denial and fear.  We owe it to future generations to understand and expose the truth. The lessons of history are before us.  What might have been saved had the free governments and peoples of the world exposed and fought against the ideology of hatred that inspired Nazism instead of engaging in appeasement and denial (as is all too evident currently in the West)?

ICJS Research is proud to present an evening with Dr. Mark Durie. 

Mark has a wealth of information about subjects we in the West would do well to understand.  The meaning of Jihad, dhimmitude, and how to understand the relationship between Islam and the non-Islamic world.   Please make every effort to attend what promises to be a fascinating, educational and important event...and let others know about it too.

This is what Bat Yeor had to say about Mark's book:

"In The Third Choice Mark Durie examines the most crucial challenges of this new century. In clear language, free from political correctness, and backed by an impressive scholarly knowledge, he unfolds step-by-step the basic foundations of Islam and exposes their inner correlations with jihad and dhimmitude, two theological and legal Islamic institutions that shape traditional Muslim behaviour toward non-Muslims.
