Gives an accurate picture of non-muslims in Muslim countries. I have lived in Malaysia and Brunei and I can personally feel the author's words. This book is not against Islam but instead the author Naipaul does a wonderful job of telling the honest and true things. Some of the things like not eating on Ramadan are to be strictly followed by non-muslims like Hindus and christians.Not only that I have personally seen in Dubai(United Arab Emirates) where employers hire only muslims.That tells a lot about such countries.The poeple who don't like the author need to think logically. Keep up the excellent work Mr V.S Naipaul.God bless you! Chirag Parikh San Jose

I was pleasantly surprised with the sincerity and honesty with which Naipaul engages his subjects, especially towards the end of the book and his journey, when his conclusions have started to form and he is looking for reaffirmation of his earlier impressions. He knows that the pattern that is emerging is critical of the people he is talking to, yet he listens to each person earnestly, trying to understand how they see themselves and the world around them. Sometimes he is merely an interviewer, yet to the main characters through whom the story evolves, he is like a friend, telling them when he disagrees with them and making them think through their own feelings.
I do not see any hate or malice in this book, either towards 'the believers' or Islam. He is definitely sympathetic towards the believers he talks to, which should not and does not prevent him from criticizing their human frailties just as he celebrates their strengths. His critique of Islam too, follows from his analysis and should be refuted similarly. Coming back to read these reviews after reading the book, I find that some of the emotions expressed in the severest reviews fit the pattern described by the author. Ironic!
There is a natural flow in the narrative in moving from Iran through Pakistan and Malaysia to Indonesia. Was that a deliberate choice ?

This book written by the Trinidad born and Cambridge educated Naipaul is a outsiders view on Muslims. The book begins with the authors interaction with Muslims in Trinidad itself, where the Muslims of Indian sub-continent origin have an uneasy relationship with the majority Hindus, who are also from the Sub-Continent. Then it moves on to Muslim majority lands from Egypt to Malaysia where the author mingles with the locals and tries to understand their morals, ethics and livestyles The author being a non-muslim however could'nt visit to the Islamic holy lands of Mecca and Medina thereby leaving a big gap in truly understanding the Muslim Psyche. Maybe Naipaul's recent marriage to a Muslim Pakistani novelist will help him in gaining entry to these cities.
