"Islam, or people's assumptions about Islam, became identical visible in the media and in the world in superior general during my childhood. Per se, I wanted to get word Sir Thomas More about Islam for myself, instead of relying on often biased information given by the media or present in my environment...It's critical for us to try to understand values, ideals and practices that are important to other people. Especially within the United States, people with different ideas and religions often are automatically 'othered', simply because of a lack of knowledge. Making an attempt to learn more or so, and study Islam, is one of the forward stairs in developing a community that includes, instead of excludes based happening 'distinctness'."

"My graduate studies opened my eyes in unforeseen shipway—A if all my life sentence I had been living in a boxful without realizing it, surrounded by invisible walls and narrow horizons, only straight off I was getting expansive unaccustomed insights into the account of human societies and cerebral life. I was fascinated by Islamic theology, philosophy and mysticism, and by the ways that Muslims were thinking through what information technology meant to be a Moslem in the fashionable age...Although Islamism doesn't explain everything in Muslim societies, the study of Islam is a wonderful introduction to societies across a remarkably broad earth science range, from West Africa to Central Asia and down to Southeast Asia. Because there is so so much misinformation more or less Muslimism and Muslims in the media today, which stokes irrational fears, IT would be marvelous if everyone knowing about Islam and Muslim societies from informed sources."

"In short, I was fascinated by the rich diversity that exists among the adherents of Islam...Islam is the global's second largest religion. Indonesia is the country with the world's largest Muslim population. And although most Arabs are Monotheism, most Muslims are non-Arab. Thither is a rich diverseness inside Islam that many people are simply unaware of."
