We’ve all heard again and again the tired old clichés which stigmatise the whole of Islam as fundamentalist, ideological, monolithic, static, unidimensional, implacably opposed to modernity, incapable of integration or assimilation, impervious to new ideas, retrogressive, retrograde, backward, archaic, primaeval, medieval, uncivilised, hostile, violent, terrorist, alien, fanatical, barbaric, militant, oppressive, harsh,

It is therefore a sacred trust  to use words which are fair, fitting, balanced, equitable and just,  words which are in “due measure and proportion.” in  his concluding remarks. It is useful to learn about the Islamic Perspective as he describes it."
