The struggle between evil and good has been going on since the creation of Adam. Modern society with its secret power structures and invisible governments is only a reflection of the original evil force. Dr Quick analyzes the New World Order and globalization in the light of Islamic sources and understanding. This is the second in a series given in Melbourne, Australia.
