In the words of Swiss journalist and author Roger Du Pasquier, the west whether Christians or the Christians ayes has never really known Islam. Ever since they watched it appear on the world stage Christians never ceased insult and slander in order to find justification for waging war on it, it has been subjected to grotesque distortions that racism which is still injure the European mind. Even today, there a many Westerners from whom Islam can be reduced to three ideas :
-Fanaticism
-Fatalism
-Polygamy
Of course, there are dose exist a more cultivated public whose ideas about Islam are less deformed, there are still precious few who know that the word Islam signifies nothing other than "SUBMISSION TO GOD" one symptom of the ignorant is the fact that the imagination a most Europeans, Allah refers to the divinity up the Moslems no the God of the Christians and Jews, they are all surprised to hear when one takes the trouble to explain things to them Allah mean God and that even Arab Christians know him by no other name.
