This book comes out of the desire to have a bizarre combination of 'attachment' and 'detachment' in order to objectively understand a subject at hand. Some of the basic concepts of Islam and perspectives about Muslims have been treated at length and in depth. A few authentic voices have also been presented for a broader perspective and to add further insight in the subjects dealt with in the current work. An extended bibliography of a wide variety has been especially suggested at the end in order to give an opportunity to the reader to related readings.
