Following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, there has been a demand for information about Islam and conversation about foreign affairs which this book opens the door to. In addition, this book addresses non-Muslims to explain the answers to common questions that Westerners usually have about Islam in hopes to alleviate fears through the light of enlightenment.
