Those people are different who call themselves Muslims They claim to be protectors of my Islam and my Quran They shed human blood, and destroy themselves Those who prepare them for funeral, are devils not human I feel pity for their innocence and their youth It is a show of their leaders, they themselves are ignorant Have we seen the plight of a widow and the orphans? Where they live in the darkness of the night, is like prison They commit suicide, and leave the world Those left behind, are crucified in the name of religion Oh Firoz! why should’nt tears drop from my eyes The Jehadist over there, are enemies of my faith

Firoz ul-Haque is a consulting engineer in the United States. He is a Sunni Muslim from India, and received his education as well as training in India, Germany, Canada, and USA. He has traveled to several countries in Asia to understand various religious philosophies. The present book, Islam Under the Microscope, is a product of an extensive research on Islam and other religions, and highlights the strength of Islam and weaknesses of Muslims. The principal thrust of this book is the Islamic Deterrence to Violence, and fosters global peace, as well as peaceful co-existence with non-Muslims. The author has boldly condemned Islamic militancy and terrorism, while supporting this condemnation with the provisions of the Quran and the Sharia (the Islamic law). A number of sensitive social issues such as the status of women in Islam, marriage, and divorce, that are of global significance, have also been presented to enlighten both Muslims and non-Muslims.
