Illustration of Political Violence in Naguib Kilani's Novels (Case Study: the Novel of "Layali Turkistan")

Political violence means the exercise of will and power in the pursuit of unlawful purposes, and since the literature is a mirror reflecting the entire society, it depicts the history of nations and historical realities of societies in a literary expression to show the relationship of literature with politics. Among literary works, stands the novel of Layali Turkistan by Naguib Kilani (an Egyptian Muslim writer), wherein he addresses the Muslims' problems beyond the boundaries of the Arab world, i.e. in Turkistan or Xinjiang, and he tries to expose the political violence and other concepts like assassination, execution, and torture to other Muslims. Using the descriptive-analytic method, this paper tries to illustrate these political and sociological concepts in the novel and to explain political violence and other related concepts. The most important results indicate that these concepts include: occupation of a land, suppression of religious feelings, conversion of mosques into debauchery places, and the change of topographic and ethnographic pattern of country.
