As an aside, so arcane was Islam fifty years ago, the two dozen high-priced Life employees listed as the book's editorial staff captioned one picture with the misinformation that the Islamic pilgrimage “takes place every year in the spring.” (The hajj marches around the calendar, 10 or 11 days earlier each year.) The mistakes of one's predecessors has a humbling effect. An analyst like me hopes not to be so obtuse as Desmond Stewart and Life , and not to be shown up so badly with the passage of time. Indeed, I study history with the hope of gaining a larger vision and thereby not being limited by current assumptions. In 2062, tell me how I am doing. Apr. 17, 2012 update : Time has today published out an 112-page book on roughly the same subject, edited by Bobby Ghosh and titled The New Middle East: After the Arab Spring, a Different World Unfolds. पचास वर्ष पूर्व इस्लाम के सम्बंध में जानकारी कितनी कम थी कि लाइफ पत्रिका के दो दर्जन कर्मचारी पुस्तक के सम्पादकीय स्टाफ के रूप में एक चित्र पर इस गलत सूचना के साथ अंकित थे कि इस्लाम की तीर्थयात्रा “ प्रत्येक वर्ष बसंत में होती है” ( हज प्रत्येक वर्ष के कैलेंडर के आरम्भ होने से 10 या 11 की तिथि को होता है)

While the learned people in our country knew of the contribution of Prophet Muhammad, our neighbors today given regular doses of misinformation about the Prophet and Sharia, the path of the Prophet, more commonly described as Islamic law. Sound Vision then soars into flights of fancy about the biography of Muhammad, applying twenty-first-century mores to a seventh-century figure; note especially the bizarre and inaccurate references to “a mass peace movement” and “not more than six days.” Prophet Muhammad envisioned a just and peaceful society. With a mass peace movement, he achieved this goal during his life. He hated war and always preferred a peace treaty with his opponents, even if it was not favorable to his and his followers' interests. He established his first peace sanctuary in the city of Madinah without any war whatsoever. While he did fight to defend that peace sanctuary, it is critical to note that the total time of actual fighting defending his people was not more than six days in his life of 63 years. He struggled to secure a peace that ensured justice and liberation for all people, especially for those most marginalized and oppressed. Comment on this item यह निष्कर्ष मेरी इस सामान्य धारणा को पुष्ट करता है और साथ ही Islamist Watch प्रकल्प की सार्थकता को भी प्रमाणित करता है कि इस्लामवादी व्यवस्था में रहते हुए धीरे-धीरे काम करके उससे अधिक सफलता प्राप्त कर रहे हैं जो वे शत्रुता या जंगली तरीके से प्राप्त कर सकते हैं। अंततः नरम इस्लामवाद हिंसक इस्लामवाद के समानांतर ही महान खतरा उत्पन्न करता है।
