Our analysis of three millennia of religious history show that “the Religion of God” has been hijacked right from the beginning till this day. Men who practiced hijacking long before they had wings have been engaging in the lucrative business of hijacking the religion of God, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam whose members miserably failed to heed the words of our Merciful God. No irony intended in calling it “a business” and indeed “a lucrative one,” because it brings the hijackers power, enormous wealth, and often glory, which, in the sight of God, translate respectively, into arrogance, greed, and infamy. But for now my all-time brothers,And sisters reading my sad story,These hijackers have had their druthers,Ans some even celebrated their glory;But don’t ye grieve or be uptightSo long as we all this time get it right;We must reach out and pull one another,So we all can make it through a very long night,Rising above the abyss of dirt and mud,Remembering that with every daybreak,There is a new beginning with God.

About the Author

Dr. Sami El-Soudani is an aerospace materials scientist specializing in fracture mechanics and failure analysis and has been engaged for over thirty years in averting failures of aircraft structures. For the past 20 years, however, he has been conducting independent theological research prompted by regrettable world events clearly showing that failures of the human spirit are of far more devastating consequences than failures of aircraft structures. Dr. El-Soudani, was born in Egypt, received his undergraduate degree from the Soviet Union, his MSc Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) and his PhD Degree from the University of Cambridge, England. Nabawia El-Soudani received a Master of Fine Arts Degree at the California Institute of the Arts in the program of Film and Video (May 2006). She has independently produced, directed, and edited film/videos that screened nationally and internationally in festivals and galleries including a feature length documentary, entitled My Father My Friend that complements the research in this book. Her work critiques patriarchal power and the military-industrial-media complex. Having both Western and Eastern heritage, she works to bridge the gap between East and West finding a common ground in the humanity, history, and spirituality that they have in common. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the single most comprehensive history of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2020
This book reveals the truths that have been concealed over centuries for the purpose of empire, control and submission of the masses. In reading this book, I found myself so captivated because the secrets I found in each page were truly enlightening. I learned so much more about St. Paul and the direction he took Christianity away from the true message of Jesus. This is the enlightenment we need in this day and age to liberate our hearts and minds from current day oppression that has a long entanglement of roots going back to the Constantine Empire and the Wahabism of Saudi Arabia. Each page unveils a truth that brings you closer to clarity in your faith and a feeling of comfort that you have found your way.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Deep and Insightful Book
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2020
I found these books to be a deep and insightful view of the three Abrahamic faiths. The author offers the reader a well-documented account of the history of the three faiths and the manner in which Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have been co-opted to serve ulterior, worldly motives. This is not a trilogy for the casual reader, but rather, a serious look at the underlying political and economic power play that often masquerades as religious zeal, pitting people against each other for the benefit of the few. I found these books to be invaluable resources in writing my dissertation on the need to separate religion from the political practices of the modern nation-state.
