On Reply to Naipaul

I congratulate Prof. U. Mohamed Iqbal for his brilliant point-by-point reply to the views of Sir V.S. Naipaul, on Islam. (Radiance Viewsweekly, 16-22 March 2008). Sir Naipaul, may be a prolific and well-known writer but when it is Islam or Muslims, he tends to express a biased view, lacking a sense of fair play.

I congratulate Prof. U. Mohamed Iqbal for his brilliant point-by-point reply to the views of Sir V.S. Naipaul, on Islam. (Radiance Viewsweekly, 16-22 March 2008). Sir Naipaul, may be a prolific and well-known writer but when it is Islam or Muslims, he tends to express a biased view, lacking a sense of fair play. If he may perhaps go through Professor Sahib’s write-up, a bit carefully, his views on Islam may change, Insha Allah.
It is not new to Islam that many brilliant intellectuals of other faiths hold most biased views on it. However, Islam is the most misunderstood religion and may be Sir Naipaul is one such prominent votary of this and a Nobel laureate at that.
