AMMAN — A book titled “Game of Illusion… Islam between the West and Terrorism” written by the Media Adviser of the Jordanian embassy in Egypt Deeb Garalleh and Kamel Fathi, has been launched in Cairo.

According to a survey conducted by the authors, only 16 per cent of the terror organisations’ leaderships including Al Qaeda, Abu Mussab Al Zarqawi, the Daesh terror group and Al Nusra, studied Sharia (Islamic law) disciplines, of which 7 per cent did not complete their education.

Accordingly, the majority of those leaders were not aware of Sharia teachings, which exposed their ignorance of religion that had led them to extremism.

The 316-page book is among the latest publications on the future of the terror organisations and will be translated into English in the near future, according to a recent report by the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
