Description from the publisher:
Misconceptions about Islam arise in the minds of a majority of non-Muslims because they are constantly being bombarded with misinformation about Islam. International media controlled by the western world, whether it is international satellite channels, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, or books. Even so-called local newspapers in Muslim countries buy news from the same sources that feed these news channels.

What is clear is that non-Muslims who live among Muslims even in Muslims countries, would find it hard to match facts on the ground with what they read or hear from official news channels.
