	ASAD AND BLACK SEPTEMBER - The New York Review of Books
		Asad, then minister of defence, grounded the Syrian Air Force, allowing the Syrian tanks to be mauled by the Jordanian Air Force.
		The people betrayed by Asad were all Arabs: the Palestinians in Jordan, and the unfortunate Syrian tank-crews, stabbed in the back by their own minister of defence.
		In O'Brien's telling, Asad allowed the tank forces under the control of his rival, Jadid, to be mauled in Jordan, thus paving the way for Asad to eliminate Jadid.

	From Leopold Weiss to Muhammad Asad
		Asad had been greatly influenced by the liberal apologetics of the late 19th and early 20th century Muslim scholars, specially Shaikh Muhammad Abduhu and his disciple, Rashid Rida, who sought to find a version that they thought would be more easily acceptable to the so called western mind.
		Asad was not just rendering the accepted meaning of the Qur’an into a really idiomatic English, he was, in his view, trying ‘to reproduce, as closely as possible, the sense which it had for the people who were as yet unburdened with the conceptual images of later Islamic developments’.
		Asad himself acknowledged the change in 1980 by adding a new author’s note and 12 footnotes to Islam at the Crossroads, published 46 years ago in 1934, because, he thought that some Muslim readers and leaders had failed to grasp the full implications of his call to cultural creativeness.

	Syria After Asad - article by Daniel Pipes
		Asad ended this instability and weakness, imposing strong leadership through a police apparatus, providing continuity of rule, and making Syria a leading actor in Middle East politics.
		Asad surrounded himself with fellow tribesmen and his own family; they staffed everything from the bodyguard to high positions of state.
		In February 1971, Asad took a step deeply distasteful to Sunnis when he pushed aside the nominal Sunni head of state and assumed the presidency for himself.

		Workers in the chow halls at al Asad and other large US bases in Iraq and Kuwait tend to be South Asian - Nepali, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian.
		Here at al Asad, so deep in the Iraqi desert, no one worries much about mortar attacks or snipers.

	Amazon.com: Asad: The Struggle for the Middle East: Books: Patrick Seale (Site not responding. Last check: )
		He describes Asad's rise from peasant origins to national leadership in a bloodless coup, analyzes the view from Damascus of Syria's role in the wars with Israel and Asad's continuing efforts to block piecemeal settlements with Israel by other Arab countries.
		Asad is quoted as claiming that his goal is not Syrian supremacy but a balance of power, and that a fair peace will come about only when the Arabs achieve strategic parity with the Jewish state.
		Seale perceives Asad as a masterful politician maneuvering Syria into a position of dominance in the Middle East and uncovers much of the mystery that has surrounded the Syrian leader by documenting Asad's interactions, directly and indirectly, with national and regional leaders.

	Department of Religious Studies
		Talal Asad, a post-colonial theorist and anthropologist, is among a generation of scholars deeply influenced by--and who has significantly furthered--the work of such scholars as the French intellectual, Michel Foucault (1926-1984), and the American (though born in Jerusalem and raised in Cairo, Egypt, and Palestine) scholar of comparative literature, Edward Said (1935-2003).
		Working in this tradition, Asad is an essayist whose work explores the ways in which systems of knowledge and systems of discipline interact to produce specific ways of talking about, and thereby organizing, the world.
		My argument is that there cannot be a universal definition of religion, not only because its constituent elements and relationships are historical specific, but because that definition is itself the historical product of discursive processes."
