The notion that all modern madrasahs are terrorist factories is a falsehood based on ignorance. This book reveals the daily routine of one well-known madrasah in India and so lifts the veil on that ignorance. It is an account that academics journalists pundits and all those concerned with current events and issues should read. It demonstrates that students in traditional madrasah are given grounding in religious life without any weakening of intellectual breadth and refinement. Above all the students learn to tolerate and accept different arguments and points of view and to appreciate different human temperament.
