The first book of its kind documents the lives of the converts to Islam who were killed, including the grandson of Malcolm X.
A number of Hezbollah martyrs who came from non-Shiite Muslim backgrounds are also included in the book with exclusive biographies and narratives.
Basira Publications released his debut book, The Strongest Handle: Converts to Islam Who Become Saints, on October 21, 2024. This is the first book ever published about Islamic martyrs who converted to Islam or moved from one school within Islam towards Shiite Islam.
It is also the first book ever to write about the life and suspected murder of the slain Malcolm Latif Shabazz, the grandson of African-American Muslim leader Malcolm X. Featuring exclusive interviews with many of Malcolm Shebaz's friends and colleagues, including former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, it sheds a lot of light and gives the mainstream of this murder. Around his death there are a bunch of lies designed to defame him and his grandfather.
The martyrs featured in the book include: Tony Avi Ghanem, a Lebanese Christian who converted to Shia Islam and joined Hezbollah; Malcolm X and his grandson Malcolm Latif Shabazz; Eduardo Agni, sole heir to the multibillion-dollar Italian Agnelli dynasty; Samir Kuntar, Hezbollah commander who was originally from a Druze background; Ayman al-Fakih, a Lebanese secular Sunni Muslim who converted to Shia and joined Hezbollah; Jerome "Camel" Courcelle, a half-French, half-Tunisian who converted to Islam and went to Iran in the 1980s, and joined the armed forces to fight against the US/Zionist-backed Ba'athist regime in Iraq; and more. Basira Publishing conducted exclusive interviews with friends and family members of the martyrs.
The book is available in both hardcover and paperback through Basira Publishing and Amazon. We ship worldwide.
We plan to translate into many world languages.
