From the article: Nevertheless the international community will have to reach agreement if it hopes to halt Iran’s uranium enrichment work...

I just did an interview with a Muslim hardliner on my blog. I am more convinced now then ever that Israel and Jews have become an obseesion in the Muslim world.

See commentary on your book here.

Beak's interview with Anum is worth a look.
