The Devastating Cross

About the Book

Someone told me after reading this book "nobody writes his personal opinion in a book like this". But I insist on giving this specific inspiration. It's an individual opinion of an individual Muslim who isn't a member of any organization or group. Maybe it's about time that the west can realize that we, Muslims, can do things as individuals too. I am talking to the Vatican Pope; it's a message to him that I sent last year on September 11 as a special gift a year after his speech about Islam, and I sent another copy to George W. Bush.


Laila Al-Hashimi challenges the norm by writing a book that defies the norms. An assertion of beliefs and a conviction of faith, The Devastating Cross is a book of conviction, and principle.

In the introduction, Laila Al-Hashimi writes, “Maybe it’s about time that the west can realize that we, Muslims, can do things as individuals too.” A clear message that embodies what this book is all about. Each page contains significant points that dissect the Christian faith and the Bible. Some idea may shock some people, it is definitely a statement of what the Muslim religion is made up of.

An individual opinion of an individual Muslim, THE DEVASTATING CROSS will open your eyes to many things and will give you something new to think about.

“This book is not a narration of old and finished history events, for what happened yesterday is continuing today the same ideas, the same rolls, the same goals, only names are changed. The symbol of cross was evil, serving evil goals and still is. As a matter of fact all, the countries that declare they are secular are serving Christianity and giving it their bests. They are only using this term to have freedom of religious ordinance for their people’s everyday life and to foul other nations using this cover“.

Religion is a spiritual need of all humanity. It gives him safety or that spiritual feeling. Religion is a feeling of relating.

About the Author

Lilla Al-Hashmi is a name which can refer directly that this person is a grandchild of Prophet Mohammed. Well it's true, but that doesn't mean that every grandchild of the Prophet is a preacher. It doesn't mean as well that I am a very religious Muslim, not every grandchild of the Prophet is and not even writing this book shall mean that. I'm a very common person, did not study or specialize in religion in any university or even an elementary school, and did not specialize in history either. I only like to travel, visit museums and read.
