Hardbound. Etat : As New. New. This is a post 9/11 book on Islam. Creative nations always turn their crisis hours into opportune moments. This book intends just to set the ball rolling in the right direction. For centuries we Muslims have been accustomed to virtually living in the past. No doubt our past has been bright but now it has a deadening effect on us. Desperate to regain the lost glory of the bygone days we often end up with the romanticization of the past. For many amongst us the past has become the only abode of refuge. In the pages that follow author have purposely tried to demolish that conventional abode the romantic appeal of the past or fashioning it as an age of no challenge. We must face the stark realities not only of the present but also of the past. This alone can help us in learning from the past mistakes. Today it is possible for us to pull down the most tyrant regimes or dismantle mighty empires.

The situation is no better on the Muslim side as well which hardly differentiates between the crusaders and their bitter enemies within the western civilization and prefers to live in an imagined world where others appear conspiring to make their life a hell. It is no easy Jihad to come out of one's inherited Muslimness and acquire what the Qur'an calls an Abrahamic vision of faith where Islam is an attitude and not a yellow star to put on. It amounts to shedding the burden of history looking at the modern man as he is and not judging him by the mistakes that his forefathers might have committed. The book focuses on an age when the western people had just started doubting their age old prejudices against Islam and Muslims.
