Abstract

Having written two books in the main focusing on the Kurdish poet and author of modernistic narrative, namely Salīm Barakāt, the present writer just submitted a third book on relevant scripture, that is on the Hebrew Bible and the Qur’ān, and Mazdaism. The tentative title of the third book is The Tradition of the First Temple. The link between each book has nowhere been explained. And nor is there anywhere an explanation as to why these books follow one and other. The following brief paper attempts just that, as well as trying to explain our overall human attraction to a violent Middle Eastern civilization, and the writer’s own inability to detach her existence from Jacob, known as “Israel” and meaning something like ‘he who is a leader towards a righteous existence and defense of UrShalem the City of Peace.’
