In contrast, the other part is willing to accept new views regarding the religion, as they are only willing to interpret Mohammed's teachings and not interpretations that came after him.

To a large degree the author is right in wanting the general public to be unbiased in dealing with Islam. It is only natural for people to have a wrong perception of this religion when considering the intense anti-Muslim propaganda that has dominated the media during the recent years.

It is difficult to determine whether Islam is or is not presently similar to Christianity during the sixteenth century Reformation, with people trying to break from conventional views of the religion in favor of dedicating themselves to it as they consider it to be fit. When going across this text people are likely to feel that there is a fight going on, between their own opinions on Islam, the opinions of the writer, and the fact that their knowledge regarding the religion is extremely limited.


Surely, the book is not meant to serve as a text book, given the author himself at times proves to display a subjective character. This is most probably done because he is irritated with the way Islam is seen because of the media and because of fanatic terrorists fighting for an imagined cause. Even with the little subjectivity found in the book, readers are likely to enjoy it for the historical account it provides them with and for the fact that it presents them with an innovative perception of Islam, one that is not propaganda and that simply promotes the theory relating to how the masses should not be biased.
