Howard Bloom!!!
The library is now a thing at war. Truly. As the Israeliś are bombarding Gaza, the Central City Library has come out with a vengeance in support of the perennial victims… yes not the women, children, hospital staff, the journalists…but the world of terror.
Rows and rows of books have emerged from some forgotten isle on the display table telling the few readers in the world left with time from tiktoks and Instagrams to read how evil the Isis, the Taliban, the Daesh and Hamas are. How they have potential to destroy the peace of the world.
Here is another abject apology to the ever-magnanimous West.
Having taken upon themselves the immense task of civilizing the world, no one has given them their due.
But they persevere.
This is my complaint to the Muslim world, to my parents to all the parents who have yet to face the muzzle of an anglicized gun, the utter kindness and far-sightedness of a bomb manufactured in America, why did we not depend on the Westerners, those angels of justice and kindness to teach us Islam.
Something was really wrong with my parents, my husband's parents and in my 45 years of life every single Muslim I have met in mosques, schools and random acquaintances. We were never given the version of our religion that the West knew.
Had we known a little earlier…pray why would we not roam around in our underwear, Isn't that exactly the peak of civilization?
And we have a grand teacher who I may take the honour of introducing…
Lay low and behold the Islam expert Mr. Howard Bloom.
Here is who Howard Bloom is.
A proud Zionist
who claims to be a stone-cold atheist.

A scholar who has spent most of his waking hours learning about Islam.
And here is where I would Salute Mr. Bloom.
He takes his basics from the DAbiq.
Now, now, fellow Muslims, do you not know Dabiq?
It is the mouthpiece of the Daesh. Yes, the one's all of us consider terrorists. Whose interpretation of Islam is a lunacy none of us want to ever examine.
Mr. Bloom in all his glory will refer to that brand of interpretation and seem happy with equally smiling and awestruck Westerners nodding and agreeing to his opinion of how Islam would bring about the end of the world they know.
So instead of reading his mental excrement I looked through his profile.
I have to give it to you Bloomi boy, you do love yourself. What are the words that will come to mind -narcissistic, egocentric… to anyone who happens to read only just the titles of your books?
Einstein, Michael Jackson & Me.
Sure, why not just club yourself with them, just maybe someone may remember your name amid such hallowed company.
How I Accidentally Started The Sixties.
Yeah, you sure did ma boy.
Well here is the book I did not read
and yet wrote about.
