Summary:
Since the September 11 terrorist attacks, the world has come to find out the dangers of disbanded minds. The onslaught on American lives was followed by a war on terror and a lot of confusion related to the religious bearings of Islam, especially the word Jehad, the word that the terrorists so blatantly abuse to justify their evil deeds. John Esposito is a scholar of religion and has been conferred to clear the air about misguided beliefs of the western world and world in general towards Islam.
The author in order to make things as clear as possible chose to write the book in a question and answer format, discussing the common misconceptions very open mindedly and answers them through the purity in perspective, keeping the holy meanings of Islam in mind. The author pulls the rug out from under as he busts the discrepancies that crept their way into people's minds regarding the beliefs of a Muslim and corrupted their perspective about one of the pristine religions. This book is an antidote to the poison spread in the minds of people of the world in the last decade by the terrorists. The book illuminates the concept of Islam keeping the insecurities of a confused individual in the modern world. It deals with some questions related to women's role being equally important to those of men in Muslim community and other questions such as how Muslims view Christianity and Judaism.
This book doesn't tolerate the linkage of terrorism and Islam, rightly so, as it sets the record straight about much hyped term 'holy war' apparently from the teachings of Quran difference from terrorism. It draws the line between sanity and insanity and very distinctly so that the readers can get rid of all their devised notions about the Islam, devised in the shadows of terrorism. The book promises to take the reader away from contempt and appeals them to come to a conclusion of their own, applying logic and reasoning.
Review:
The author in his book What Everyone Needs to Know about Islam tries to clean the mess made by the terrorists in the past decade or so and succeeds in doing so. The author tries to assemble the pieces of misused words and texts from the Holy Quran to bring to light the absolute perspective debarring the blasphemy in the terrorist's actions and words. The sacrilegious path that the terrorists are treading on is independent of the teachings of the Holy Quran, this is the most highlighted point in the book and considerably so, as the people who can't think on their own and can surrender to their easy understandings were led to believe that Islam promotes violence and hatred. The author desiccates the blood that has been spilled on to people's understanding courtesy of the unholy deeds by ignorant terrorist and clears the way for a much more holistic understanding of one of the biggest religions of the world, Islam.
