What's Hot at Borders


















Here's what's hot at Borders. A few of the titles on their display table in the Arabic section:


Facing toward the storefront (top picture)
-Top row left to right: a book about Sultan Qaboos (head of state of Oman), "Mussolini" (I forget the subtitle), "Rasputin," "Zionist Leaders," "New York and the Reign of Fear."

-2nd row: something about spies, something about the execution of Arab leaders, "Saddam Wasn't Executed: ???, American Lies and the Game of Look-Alikes" (وعدي وقصي لم يقتلا أكاذيب أمريكا ولعبة الشبيه), last book on right "Nuclear Secrets."

-3rd row: "Armageddon: The End of America and Israel," "Osama," ?, "Behind Every Dictator is a...," I forget the last title, but there is a picture of Condi Rice, George Bush, and Dick Cheney on the cover and the top copy had a bunch of x's scratched over Bush's face.

-Bottom row: "Diary of an Arab Diplomat," "Evildoers/Malcontents of History," "Political Assassinations," "Saddam Wasn't Executed," "A Spy in the President's Palace" (with a black Star of David on the cover).


Facing to the rear: (bottom pic)
-Top row, left to right from 2nd book: "Censorship and Redaction (blacking out information) in the American Press," "Years of Hope," "Stalin (I forget the subtitle and can't make it out)" and "Karl Marx, Man Against Religions."

-Middle row, from 2nd book: "Arab Banana Republics," "Loss/Ruin of Nations," translation of former U.S. Congressman Paul Findlay's "They Dare to Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby."

-Bottom row, from 2nd book (again): "The Israeli Lobby," Hitler's "Mein Kampf," "Blackwater: Armies of Darkness/Oppression," and the last one is something about changes in the Arabian peninsula, but I forget the details.

And the for the Grand Prize:
Grammatically and semantically, this translation may not be perfect, but the essence is there. If anyone has any suggestions, please comment. I'm not making this up:
"Speeding the Emergence of the Anti-Christ: Zionism and Devil Worship Pave the Way for the Emergence of the Anti-Christ with his Flying Saucers from the Bermuda Triangle."
