The history of civilisation is strewn with conflict between science and religion. A battle has always raged between people, ideologies, and power, with those looking to shape the very nature of our own reality in a way that reaffirms the accepted flow of power and leadership. The stunning new work from Farooq Tareen, Morality vs. Reality, investigates this difficult dichotomy, analysing how kings, emperors and powerful leaders used religion to gain power and control over their subjects, and how the moral values of good and evil were carved into what they are today. Through extensive research and compelling studies, Tareen dives into the origins of the major religions and studies how their core values were often fundamentally the same. While their morals are rooted in upholding the order of things, their leaders had been using their followers as a tool with which peace was eroded and in turn, atrocities were committed. Whilst these practices are rooted in history, they're still rife across the globe, and the media appears to have taken much of this control. With the advent of social media, fake news and targeted advertising, along with controlled corporations of banking systems and the IMF, media has perhaps become the single most powerful entity to cause conflict, pain and poverty. Morally, many governments claim allegiance to democracy, freedom of speech and peace through the media. However, in reality, we uncover their lust for control and wealth. In the thought-provoking pages of Morality vs. Reality, author Farooq Tareen lays bares the clear hypocrisies that have control over our world, in much the same way as they were thousands of years ago.
