    [synopsis] => Terrorism could be the heading of the running chapter in human history though strife had always been its grand title. Assorted terrorist groups, to espouse their parochial causes, have been targeting their ideological opponents with utter cynicism but with articulated grievances and identified opponents besides defined terror zones that are amenable for containment and redressal and / or both, at some stage or the other.

But what of the jihadi terrorism, and how is it that the western-educated, non-conformist, Muslim youth all over, not to speak of the fresh converts from other faiths get attracted to fight for Islam and die for it? Possibly in a new non-fiction genre, this thought-provoking work delves into this least explored aspect of the Islamic ethos. Besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran it depicts the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by "I'm Ok—You're Ok", the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller's "Muslim Friends—Their Faith and Feeling", this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which could turn a faithful into a fidayeen.

Also, besides delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanaatana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-four well-structured chapters.

Really, this is a book for our times.
