- Arun Kundnani, a British-born scholar who is now an adjunct professor at New York University, is a different sort of leftist. He is not Muslim, either by background or conviction, but he maintains that “Islamophobia” is a thinly disguised form of racial prejudice, and that on both sides of the Atlantic, the war on terror has been an excuse for governments to ratchet up surveillance and harassment of people who are “guilty” of nothing worse than critical thought about their countries’ domestic or foreign policies. He has been touring his new and old homelands with a book entitled “The Muslims are Coming”. As the title implies, he thinks militant Islam has become a convenient bogeyman; it serves an ideological purpose, just as (from the viewpoint of a suspicious leftist) an exaggerated Soviet threat sometimes did during the cold war.

Why these so called Islam experts ignore the fact where real teachings of Islam are lying. Forget the past. We all live in present. What ever is being done and practiced on the name of Islam is all politically motivated and has no connection to real teachings Islam. This religion came to revive the relationship between man and God as well to reform the mankind to be good human beings. Founder of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, who is the reformer of the current era declared it very clearly. 125 years history of this community itself speaks where real Islam is. Why these so called Islam experts are unable to analyse it.
