    About this ebook

    NEW LIGHT: By Lahcen Laanaba
    MOURAD ELJAW, fifty- eight years old married. Despite his graduation and qualifications, job cuts drove him to a monotonous life. An agnostic as from his twenties in an Islamic country where thinking different could be blasphemous.
    The mosque and spiritual way of life was a way to escape to the routine and domestic scenes. Days are running on the same rhythm, praying and setting on the coffee shop. The mosque was the refuge to seek a spiritual comfort. However, he avoids all contact with bearded and all fanatic way of thinking.
    All seems to be running smoothly until apparition of ABOUHAMZA.
    ABOUHAMZA is the kind of contact he tried to stay away from. Beared and extremist looking. He is the kind of hunter looking after weak and desperate souls.MOURAD knows their promises and their convincing skill to send their prey to the hot area for jihad purposes, where the faith is not a direct connection with GOD but a dictatorship of freaky Fatwas influencing the way of living including all aspect as for how to wear how to talk how conduct intimacy life
    His effort to stay away from ABOUHAMAZA was vain.He succeeds to convince him to meet the board members of an obscure organization under the brand of NEW LIGHT CORPORATION.
    Assisted by his beautiful and sexy Lawyer LAMISS. An influent and volcano lawyer with whom he has a controversial life mixing her strength and submissive behaviors.
    The meeting with ZAKARIA the NLC CEO involved him to be a part of a new Islamic finance concept. The new concept to fight terrorism by finance. Their strategy is the Mosque privatization. Cult places to be branch office managed by Banks. Believers become customers and religion is a market to be conquered
    Convinced that the red lines will not be crossed and the organization is against all form of terrorist and or bleeding he flew to the United States to build up the NLC strategy. The New light appears as a sign of a better life. The intra-competition of terrorist organizations decide otherwise.
    Mosque attacks in Boston and Dallas planned and executed by NAFWAL, a former bodyguard of BIN LADEN. Action planned by his daughter SOPHIA, a drug dealer converted to terrorist recruitment. her genius idea to involve Jews in such attacks as a new strategy of fight against the newly elected president declaration related to United States embassy relocation to Jerusalem.
    The coincidence of MOURAD arrival to the United States and Mosques attacks put MOURAD on the center by his arrest under the patriot act terms. MOURAD discover his leadership skill by the means of a humanity declaration where education, hope, and tolerance are the weapons to fight against terrorism. The action which is not on the taste of FBI Agents and investigation.
    Investigations area extended to MOURAD country where the FBI agent found himself in front of traditional and nonfamiliar tools and techniques. Direct contact, tight networking of the Moqadem allows more details than tools used by FBI
    NLC unlimited resources, mobilizing their lobbyist firm and communications plan allowed MOURAD to get relaxed with the statute of a hero fighting the ideology of killing. Actions who drained influent lawmakers to sustain as they saw in such action a homeland security interest. His strategy is attacking the hate and fanaticism from the origin by the control of Imams speeches where tolerance and hope are the keywords.

      PROLOGUE

      Hotel's room, during a business trip, is depressing with limited options.

      Mourad EL JAW got this feeling, every time he went abroad. His career drove him all around the world and he’d always been bothered by the length of the nights while waiting for the next meeting whatever the hotel standard. The reason that he managed to shorten his trips to a maximum of two nights

      More than twenty hours, since he left Casablanca to land at Boston, including six hours at the airport in Paris waiting for a connection flight.

      The connection waiting time is the worst part of the voyage. Regardless the size and airport standard turning around duty-free and gazing the flight details isn’t a fun distraction. Port authorities are also excelling on the uncomfortable seat to make your waiting time unpleasant, although they are claiming to do the best for your journey.

      The location of the hotel booked by the corporation is on the outside part of the city, and the options in such case are stepping down and Lean on counter’s bar hoping that a single and desperate woman will appear to make his night less annoyed. Which will not happen. His pure north African native look will not help. Last events and the phobia fed by media enhanced the fear of those area's citizens, Thanks to the new elected President.

      The second option is to bear the television company waiting for sand to invade his eyes.

      A cerebral stress to find a third option, he taught that a walk will help him to shorten the long night. The outside temperature and rain discouraged him doing so. His native country shinny almost two hundred days a year canceled this option

      Mourad EL JAW had no other alternative than the second option

      The torture of the remote control is his favorite sport in such case. Zapping channels. Juggling so for a while, No program interested him.

      Strange as it is, he knows that the missing dose of caffeine will not end his night. His addiction requests a dose to get asleep.

      Sipping his coffee the remote control took him to watch Arabic channels, at least their programs will prevent him from headache translation. After several attempts, he found that, except the change of the speaker's face, images and content are copy- paste. All focusing on the last United States President Tweet related to the relocation of USA embassy to Jerusalem

      As a usually crowded place with demonstrators chanting against this decision, burning and trampling the United States flag and President Portrait and threatening their sacrifice against this decision. Cairo, Amman, Paris, Gaza is on the same wave.

      Black ribbon on the head. Yellow flags and Kalashnikov in hand. All of them are ready to fight. He could not remember the same scenario before Baghdad surrendered. All was ready to defend Saddam, next day they destroyed the statue representing his leadership.

      Since his childhood, nothing has changed. Demonstrations, Arab league’s useless meeting, and United Nations dead letter resolutions. The scheme is constant, the United States is the enemy and after a period, the friendship and tighten relation is on all government mouths.

      The positive, outgoing of these manifestations is to be a relief valve for population and appearing as speech freedom and democracy in the related countries. Politicians never missed these opportunities to endorse the leadership attitude with aggressive speech as soon as they take care of not criticizing their own president.

      Hope was given by Camp David summit and Oslo, despite some controversy, was born dead. Again, nothing moved forward and population lost their enthusiasm for a change after the collapse of some dictators and chaos generated in Iraq, Libya and Yemen

      President’s declaration, like many decisions and the unexpected tweets made from his election, is a continuous process of forward-backward. The relocation will not happen during his mandate, it will only tease anger and give motivation to fanatics to legitimate their actions. His predecessors did not succeed and the followers will not.

      Images, interview, demonstrations succeeding with a repetitive, annoying style, blood threats and violent actions against enemy pushed his brain. A link exists between the manifestations and the motives of what and why he is here at this hotel

      Slow motion of Sixty years scrolled and memories run on his brain, hard and tough childhood, raised in a big family of seven children. Water and electricity were a luxurious stuff. His ascension was considered a success compared to his peers. Engineer graduation and an MBA from a well-known French university enable him to have a conventional path. Well paid job, pretty wife, and children. All was going well and the
