And no he did not say what the west wanted to listen.
You really wish that he'll take up this task of explaining Muslim point of view full time.

This is an excellent eye opening book to misconceptions that some non-Muslims with an anti-Islam agenda and some Muslim extremists themselves have about Islam. The author discusses issues such as Fatwas and Jihad in a very well manner that clears many false understandings of the terms. He also exposes some of the orientalists such as Bernard Lewis and Samuel Huntington by for pushing these false images of Islam in the modern world. After 9/11 and the anti-Muslim propaganda that has become so mainstream, this book is a must read!
