This is my talk at the book launch at the Islamic Society of York Region in commemoration of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on the 26th anniversary of his passing took on May 31. Among the speakers were Moulana Zaki Baqri, Zafar Bangash and myself. Despite hate-filled demonstrators with placards and megaphones, threatening attendees, 400 people came. Sadly, many others turned back, intimidated by the angry demonstrators.

i surveyed the various Islamic movements, how the US manipulates them, how a frightening development like the rise of ISIS is a logical outcome of imperial interference.
