bullet in the head

Author's name: Ibrahim Issa

On a hot day in July 1977, a young man enters the Cabinet building and hands over a yellow envelope to the Prime Minister's office. When the official opens the envelope, he is swallowed by astonishment.

At the same time, another young man leaves the parliament building after delivering the same statement to the office of the Speaker of the People’s Assembly . We have begun our journey and chosen our path to discipline those who disobey God and refine those who consider misguidance permissible, starting with “Mohamed Hussein Al-Dhahabi,” the former Minister of Endowments, taking him hostage until our demands are met… We demand the release of the detainees and prisoners whose names are mentioned in the attached list, by noon on Monday, July 4, the payment of a ransom of two hundred thousand pounds, and the publication of the book “The Caliphate” by “Shukri Mustafa” in the newspapers. We warn that if the demands are not implemented on the specified dates, we will kill Sheikh Al-Dhahabi. In his new novel, Ibrahim Issa reveals the hushed-up facts, the strangest and most mysterious events, the hidden secrets, and the horrific details that gave birth to the phenomenon of religious terrorism in the mid-seventies of the last century and then swept the world until now. The truth may shock you, but at least you will have known it.
