OO its holiday and I went for a picnic n had an Ikan Bakar feast
as my first STOP for this semester HOLS… More place to hit after this.. InsyAAllah =D..I bought this book using the BAUCHer
Buku Satu Malaysia.. haihh 2 Months ago went pass.. I bought it but never had a
chance to glance it.. Ok here .. Ive read a few pages…
The Writer…Graham E. Fuller proposes to tell the reader how
different, or not, the world would be if Islam never existed. I was anxious to
start reading. I was curious to see what a world without Islam would be like.
The author fails to truly answer his own question thoroughly, but generally he
thinks the world would be no different at all. How can that be?
The answer seems to be clear to Mr. Fuller: The cause of
violence in the world is the fault of religious incarnations of Christians and
Jews, the West, and more recently the United States of America and George W.
Bush. That may be boiling down Mr. Fuller's book a little too much. I actually
agree with one or two of his suggestions as to what must take place in the
future. Let me explain.
In the Introduction to the book, Mr. Fuller mentions the
Muslim struggle against colonial power and explains in brief to the reader what
the body of the book contains and tells the reader that policies and
perspectives must change sharply if we are ever going to get out of the present
morass that has been so costly to everyone. This is an extraordinary writing
which will guide and fill in the blanks of people with ambiguous and scepticism
mind about ISLAM… Oh OK.. Go and ge
it now! =D
