The Sword of Allah (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218246952)

Gamel Abboud taught his young son Ishmael that Israel and all Jews had been the scourge of humanity throughout history. With his vitriolic damnation of Judaism he repeatedly excoriated Ishmael to hate all individuals of the Jewish faith. Then at the age of 12 Ishmael came to fully experience the emotional and visceral rage of hatred when his parents were killed by Israeli jets in the 1967 Six Day War. Surviving, he vowed to one day to avenge their deaths.

After the death of his parents he lived with his uncle Ahmed, who was very supportive; but his wife Nour and Ishmael developed an instant animosity for one another. He lived with the family for seven years; then Nour disappeared and her body was found in the Nile River. Ishmael had experienced his first taste of blood.

After a number of years roaming throughout the world, constantly plotting a way to avenge his parents, he eventually envisioned a diabolic scheme to rain destruction on the children of Israel. He obtained a position at Oregon State University, who had developed an International Tilapia Aquaculture project with the country of Israel. He met Selena Silva, wife of the university President Manuel Silva. Selena and Ishmael developed a sexual relationship and she accidentally discovered Ishmael's true identity. However, a week later her car was discovered at the bottom of a canyon containing a body burned beyond recognition. Authorities determined Selena had died in the fiery crash.

For three decades Ishmael had stealthily advanced toward completion of his deadly journey. In those thirty years only a single individual, David Landau, a disabled virtuoso violinist, had accurately recognized that this individual was the embodiment of evil and embarked on a mission of violence.

The SWORD of ALLAH details Ishmael's thirty-year quest to achieve retribution for the loss of his family.
