In the wake of the attack on the World Trade Center, today's news contains references to once esoteric subjects, such as bioterrorism and special forces, as well as the organizations enjoined in the battle, countries and geographies less familiar to the English-speaking world.

These glossaries are expressly designed to help you better understand this new war and strange new world, as well as as word-lists to help non-Muslims better understand the history and principles of Islam.
