What is crap ? It is just a piece of news. If you feel something is not factual, just mention it. Why are you injecting communal passion into it.

I am expressing my views as a Layman... ie. Looking at the context of Indian subcontinent only. Four Stages of Islam in the sub continent of India,Pakistan,Bangladesh and now Nepal. First Stage :INFILTRATION
First migration wave to target non-Muslim society. Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the target non-Muslim society. Characterized by professed tolerance of others and their beliefs. Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful religion and Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism. Images of women and children used to portray Muslims. Establishment of mosques as power bases (today globally funded by Gulf countries oil revenue). (Mosques are safe havens for Jihadi recruitment and subversive projects). Muslim leaders promote large push for increased Muslim births in target non-Muslim society to increase native Muslim population. Misrepresentation of their intentions or aims as a cover up for clandestine operations.

Second Stage :CONSOLIDATION OF POWER Establishment and recruitment of fundamentalist Jihadi cells. Efforts to convert alienated segments of the population of target non-Muslim society to Islam. Revisionist efforts to Islamize history. Efforts to destroy all evidence of incriminating historical evidence and sources that reveal true character of Islamism. Intellectual Jihad to discredit non-Muslim culture. Assault on cultural assumptions and icons of the non-Muslim world, such as democracy, law and science. Increased dissemination of anti-western propaganda and anti-western psychological warfare. Efforts to recruit allies who share similar goals (Communists, socialists, anti westerns activists, anti-globalists, anarchists). Alliances with the enemies of the Western society particularly anti capitalism leftists. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

good introduction to Islamic history is hard to find, and readers interested in the world's second-largest religion can rejoice at finding this one. Esposito, professor of religious studies at Georgetown University, has brought together a fine cadre of scholars for this anthology. Fifteen articles cover almost every subject that might interest a novice in the field: philosophy, science, art, architecture and histories of Islamic empires and civilizations. The art (100 b&w photos and 200 four-color illustrations) comes fast and thick, adding a great deal to the text. A particular virtue of the book is its extension of Islamic history into the present day, with articles focusing on colonialism, American and European Muslims and 20th-century Islamic revivalism. The book is not perfect, of course, and some of its faults are serious. Only one contribution is dedicated to religious belief and practice as such, and it is one of the weaker articles in the collection. Also, although Sufism is of paramount importance in Islamic history, there is no essay dedicated to the mystical branch of Islam, and the activities of Sufi orders form only a part of several of the historical articles. That said, this valuable and near-comprehensive tome would be a welcome addition to many libraries' shelves. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

What a joke... We still have the remnants of the Saraswati-Sindhu Civilization in a land swearing by an alien Arabic culture, a direct insult to our common ancestors who gave such wonderful urbane settlements such as Mohenjadharo, Harrappa,KotDiji,Lothal,etc. ,while the contemporary Bedouins of Arabia around the same time wouldn't have had a proper lingo to communicate with each other,maybe a little better than apes. I don't want to denigrate the apes comparing them with arab ,maybe bandicoots/tasmanian devils ?Or even worse. It is an insult that pakistanis have abandoned their rich cultural heritage to adopt a cruel,violent and barbaric arabic culture.

Esposito produces an excellent readable history of Islam and its powerful impacts on Western Civilization. Espositio gathered a large number of scholars, each to produce a different chapter covering issues like math, philosophy, politics, etc. While no single volume could cover so vast a subject, the reader is left with what is almost certainly the best introduction to Islam. While many people, unfortunately, have bought Karen Armstrong's Short History of Islam, this text is far superior in almost every way. Not only is it more thorough and better written, it also deals with Islam from within as well as from without. Islamic culture is examined not from the perspective of an outsider with rose colored glasses, but from several distinguished and Muslim and non-Muslim scholars with a firm background in the subject.
There is not doubt that no single volume could do all of Islamic history justice. However, this book with its rich photographs and strong prose, is probably as good an introduction as you could get under a single cover.

No doubt Islamic scholars in the past have done good work. But please do take pains to mention that they did that after they had travelled to India and learned about philosophy, spirituality, mathematics (Advanced, including geometry), Irrigation, civilization, etc. ...
The scholars themselves acknowledge the fact, but most prefer to hide or muzzle this fact. And from Islamic scholars did the Europenas benefit.
Sadly now though none exist. Whoever do are terrorists and fundamentalists. It now makes sense to dismantle the Islamic religion and it would do well for muslims to convert to other religions. Because it looks like fundamentalists are winning everywhere. Very soon, we would have burqa clad ladies everywhere and destruction of everything good about life, if musilm fundamentalists are left unattended.

A huge and absolutely beautiful book, so sensitively illustrated that you'll spend hours combing the pictures before you even dip into the text. The many essays detail out the rise of Islam and its accompanying culture, and it's the first general survey I've seen to cover sub-Saharan Africa as well as Eurasia, the Far East, and the Indian sub-continent. As good as the text is, though--and as fun---it's those pictures that make this book superb. From lone minnerets on the Xinjiang plains to the gorgeous mud-brick mosques of Djenné, the architectural dictates of Islam have produced some of the most striking and functional buildings our species has ever come up with. It gives me a great sense of communion with the Moslem world, whatever our ideological differences. The pictures in this Oxford History are sensitive and at times poignant...a close-up of a gorgeous tiled pillar, with the tile flaking off with age, revealing superb brickwork underneath comes to mind. Those who like me know little of the Moslem world will appreciate the very readable text, with its slightly shaming details (the Moslems came up with the idea of a Hospital/dispensary as an adjunct to the mosque.....and their brilliant textiles were carried off by returning crusaders who had little appreciation for how difficult they were to make!)
As a scholarly text, "The Oxford History of Islam" may indeed have some holes---I wouldn't know. But as an introduction to the addictive

But as an introduction to the addictive beauties of Islamic art, and as an overview of the Moslem explosion throughout the world (including some Eurasian places you've never heard of!) I can't think of a better selection than this. You'll never want to part with it.

STAGE THREE: OPEN WAR WITH TARGET NON-ISLAMIST SOCIETY'S LEADERSHIP AND CULTURE
Large-scale destruction of population, assassinations, killings, bombings. Intentional efforts to spread chaos in the target country to undermine its government and culture. Acts of barbarity and fierceness as a deliberate policy intended to foster submission of opponents. Open and covert efforts to cause economic collapse of the society. All opposition, no matter what kind, is challenged and either eradicated or silenced. Widespread ethnic cleansing with Islamic militias.
