[Nitin Narula · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think Arif ji has talked about the issues which no one from mainstream politics talks about. Ironically, reform in Islam is duty of muslims however except few no one talk about it. Hindu groups oppose islam extremism but they don't talk about problems with group and what should be changed.this book.gives insight into politics, muslim world and issues with Pakistan. Must read for every individual from every religion. The issues are mentioned for Islam but with can appear in any religion.

One of the best books for understanding evolution of politics around relegion, particularly Islam. The verse quoted from quran in between helps in better interpretation and how relegion in present time has deviated from much from its original form due to selfish interests of some.
